Winning the love of audiences around the world isn’t easy, but for Côté de Pablo, it came naturally. The Chilean-American actress began her career in the 1990s, co-hosting the popular Spanish-language show “Control” with Carlos Ponce. She later gained widespread recognition for her role as Ziva David on “NCIS,” first appearing on screen in 2005.
Despite her success and popularity, Côté de Pablo prefers to lead a private life. However, her every public appearance invariably attracts attention.
2012–2014: Natural Curls and Feminine Simplicity
In the early 2010s, Côté often appeared on the red carpet with voluminous curls and a side part, a look that was particularly popular at the time. At a summer event in 2012, the actress chose a lightweight white top and coral pants. The look was completed with long earrings and minimal makeup with bronze tones.
In 2013, she demonstrated a more striking style, appearing at the Latin Grammy Awards in an elegant purple off-the-shoulder dress. Gold jewelry and natural makeup emphasized her sophistication. In 2014, fans could mostly see the actress on the set of the historical drama “The Dovekeepers,” where the show’s era inspired her look.
2015–2018: Inspired by Hollywood’s Golden Era
In the middle of the decade, Côté’s style took on a more dramatic and glamorous tone. At the 2015 People’s Choice Awards, she wore a plunging dress with lace details reminiscent of classic Hollywood fashion. A short, voluminous haircut and a sleek clutch completed the look.
Later, at the premiere of “33,” the actress again chose a plunging dress, this time with modern designer accents. In the following years, she continued to experiment with her hairstyles, and by 2018, she began to favor more relaxed and natural looks.
2019–2023: A Love of French Chic and Retro Motifs
Côté de Pablo has always shown an interest in French fashion, particularly evident in her looks from the late 2010s. In 2019, she appeared on television in a stylish ensemble of black trousers and an asymmetrical striped blouse, accessorized with a silk scarf.
During the promotional campaign for “NCIS,” the actress showed off another striking look, pairing a striped shirt with a 1970s-inspired plaid jacket. Such fashion choices later became popular again. After 2020, Côté de Pablo rarely appeared in public, but her return was quite noticeable. 2024: A Refreshed Look and Lighter Hair
At the 2024 Monte Carlo Television Festival, fans were treated to a refreshed look from the actress. The main change was her lighter hair color. For her first appearance, she chose an elegant black dress with decorative details reminiscent of 1960s fashion.
2025 and Beyond: A Focus on Modern Suits
In recent years, the actress has increasingly embraced separates and masculine-influenced outfits. While promoting “NCIS: Tony & Ziva” in Berlin, she wore an olive knit top and loose, pleated trousers.
At New York Comic Con, the actress showed off another stylish look – a black-and-white check suit with a cropped jacket and wide-leg trousers.
With Côté de Pablo’s return to television, fans are eagerly awaiting the actress’s new red-carpet appearances and fresh fashion looks, which are sure once again to draw the attention of fashion critics and viewers.
