The actress, 46, who plays lawyer Rita Moro Castro in the Netflix film, wore a stylish gray checked suit with a single-breasted blazer and flared tailored trousers.
About taking on the role of Rita, Joe told Deadline: 'It's important to understand where Rita is coming from and who she really is.
'To me she lacks the courage to speak up for herself. She's underemployed, overlooked, desperate for change, but she wants power, she wants influence, she wants success.
“So the fact that she's going to pick up immediately that it's a Faustian deal – and never look back – is important to me because she's also going through a transition.
'It's not as pronounced and intense and rich as Emilia [transition]But by the time Emilia meets her again three years later she has really shed this old skin and is a different person.'
Zoe's appearance came after the actress looked incredible in a strapless blue satin gown on Friday as she attended a screening of the film at The Royal Festival Hall.
She joined her co-star Selena Gomez on the red carpet looking sensational in a figure-hugging floor-length dress.
The American singer and actress, 32, plays Jessie Del Monte, the wife of Emilia Perez, played by Karla Sofia Gascon.
The film's plot is stated on IMDb: 'In Mexico, a lawyer gets an unexpected opportunity to help a feared cartel boss retire from his profession and become the woman he's always dreamed of and disappear forever.'
