Zoë Kravitz’s red carpet style is the epitome of effortlessly cool. As she’s grown up in the public eye next to her famous parents Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, her fashion choices have evolved from prom-style flirty dresses and baggy jeans to risk-taking naked dresses and lots and lots of lace.
Kravitz has come to coin a rocker-chic aesthetic on the big stage, making her the perfect face of Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent—she’s starred in the brand’s campaign imagery and is a front-row fixture at their Parisian fashion shows. Still, as much of a fashion star as Kravitz is today, her style is the result of careful experiments that started when she was just a teenager, attending red carpets alongside her dad.
