Zoe Saldana is the cover girl of InStyle magazine. The “Guardians of The Galaxy” star looked fit and seemed to have lost all her pregnancy weight in the new pictures. The 36-year-old wore a beautiful printed floral blue dress by Dolce & Gabbana and talked about how life has changed post motherhood.

Saldana and her Italian husband Marco Perego-Saldana welcomed twin boys, Bowie Ezio Perego-Saldana, Cy Aridio Perego-Saldana in November. Post the birth of her babies, the actress has been very active on social media and shared the details about her workout and eating habits. She told the magazine that her focus has now shifted from getting skinny to looking healthy.

“I want to feel healthy, and not just fit into the old jeans I used to wear. I’m a woman now. My body has changed forever. It’s softer... and stronger,” Saldana told InStyle. The actress is photographed by Paul Maffi in Malibu's Villa de Leon. Ever since the birth of her twins, Saldana is working to get back to shape. Her Facebook posts show her working out in the gym and eating a healthy diet.

The new mom also said in her Facebook page that motherhood is “the most amazing experience” of her life though she suffered from lot of “physical trauma” during childbirth. The actress said that she has “changed dramatically, inside and out.” The actress' weight shot up to 180 lbs when she was pregnant but she took help of her trainer Steve Moyer and started working out slowly. She told her fans that her journey from fat to fit is “slow.... painful... and frustrating” but she has not given up at any time.

Meanwhile, Saldana also revealed that her husband has taken her last name after their secret marriage in Mexico in 2013. She told the magazine that she warned him that he will be “emasculated” by his community of artists and Latin community of men but says her husband does not “give a sheet” about the consequences.
