Zoe Kravitz Style Evolution

Stepping out in a role outside of being the daughter of music and television icons Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, a young Zoe landed roles in not one, but two 2007 films, No Reservations and The Brave One.

For The Brave One premiere, a fresh-faced Zoe rocked a canary-yellow sequin mini dress and black ankle-strap pumps. We loved this look then — and we’d love it now.

Leave it to Zoe Kravitz to show up and steal the spotlight at the most star-studded show of Paris Fashion Week. Radiating couture vibes with that effortless cool-girl twist she would become synonymous with, Zoe keeps all eyes on her in a houndstooth skirt-turned-dress, beret, dark shades, booties and layered accessories. We love the fresh take on the famous label’s otherwise conservative styling.

On the arm of actor Ben Foster, her boyfriend for a brief period in 2008, Zoe Kravitz looked stunning in a green Gucci dress while attending a benefit for UNICEF. From the oversized clutch to her fringed hairstyle, the whole look is a win for the budding actress, who had fun experimenting with her individual style in these early red-carpet years.

Channeling her inner boho-babe, Zoe Kravitz misses the mark while attending an Erin Fetherston Fall 2009 fashion show. While we love the headband and off-the-shoulder flowy dress, the black stockings and boots make for a seriously unflattering clash of styles. It turns out, not even cool-girl Zoe Kravitz can blend bohemian and grunge styles successfully.

It’s a double-hitter when Zoe Kravitz calls her stylish pops Lenny Kravitz in for date-duty – and the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet was no exception. Looking absolutely stunning in a strapless gown with back-bow detail, Zoe was radiant alongside her always-hunky style icon father, Lenny, who rocked it as per usual, in a classic tux.

2011 was a huge year for Zoe Kravitz, who starred in multiple films and television spots, including an 8-episode stint on television’s Californication and blockbuster film X-Men: First Class.

Cementing her status in Hollywood in her own right, Zoe worked the red carpet for the New York premiere of X-Men: First Class in a simple-yet-stunning silver strappy gown, feathered locks and a sultry-smokey eye. The simplicity of her look, coupled with that uniquely-cool confidence that Zoe always seems to bring to the table made for one hell of a knockout look.

For the 8th Annual Vogue Fashion Fund Awards, Zoe Kravitz showed off some serious leg in a sexy leather mini dress and pointed-toe pumps. Rocking a choppy, fringed-hairstyle and her usual barely-there beauty routine, Zoe looked like anything but a red-carpet novice. Seasoned on the scene by this point, Zoe looks every bit the part of a star on the rise.

We – are – not –worthy. Gliding onto the red carpet for the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in 2012, Zoe Kravitz absolutely shut-it-down in a sheer-paneled midi dress that highlighted her killer curves. We loved the actress’ fringed pixie-cut hairstyle and funky strappy pumps – never one to miss the details, this look was no exception.

It’s always a good thing when this mother and daughter duo link up on the red carpet. While we can’t say we love Lisa Bonet’s boho-inspired ensemble, there’s no denying she’s been a major style (and everything else) influence on daughter Zoe, who looked stunning in a chic strapless dress as she stood by her mom’s side for a 2012 Chanel event.

2013 was another big year for Zoe Kravitz, who co-starred in After Earth, and, on the personal front, found herself newly-single after the end of her three-year relationship with Gossip Girl (and now You’s) Penn Badgley. Looking anything but heartbroken at the 30th Annual Night of Stars, Zoe Kravitz stole the spotlight in a strappy-cropped top and maxi skirt, keeping it sleek with fresh-faced beauty and minimal accessories.

For the American Ballet Theatre’s spring gala in 2014, Zoe Kravitz had us doing a double-take, as she posed for photos looking almost unrecognizable with a platinum blonde bob hairstyle and uncharacteristically bold red lip. Getting over the shock, the look was a hit, from the bold beauty choices to the chic gown and ballet-inspired ankle-tie heels. We love that Zoe continues to take risks and have fun with her fashion — and as she proved at this event, it usually pays off.

Simple. Stunning. Zoe Kravitz nails it at the 2014 MET Gala, still rocking the platinium-blonde hairstyle and stepping out in a daring red strappy gown that ensured all eyes on her for the evening.

Having nailed her look in 2014, Zoe Kravitz had all eyes on her as she stepped out for the MET Gala in 2015. Serving it in a big way, Zoe rocked a chainmail-style gown with edgy detailing, even sporting a matching nose-ring to complete the look. Funky, fun and oh-so-cool, there’s nothing we don’t love about this look.

Attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2015 wearing a nude, sheer and netted-style gown, natural locks and a sexy smokey eye look, this might be a contender for our favourite Zoe Kravitz look of all-time.

2015 may be one of our favourite years in Zoe Kravitz’ style evolution, and for good reason. From major red-carpet moments, to low-key events like this one, where she attended Charles Finch’s Annual Filmmakers Dinner, Zoe proved any occasion is occasion enough for a style moment. Taking a maxi knit dress and elevating it with exaggerated sleeve detail and eye-catching print and colour combos, we couldn’t resist adding this killer look to our list.

These are the best celebrity style evolutions of the decade.

In 2016, with several major film roles under her belt and on the horizon, Zoe Kravitz had clearly become very comfortable in the spotlight, and was no doubt living up to her growing reputation as a style icon. Stepping out in show-stopper looks like this black beaded gown, worn to the premiere of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Not since Gwen Stefani have we been so b-a-n-a-n-a-s over a platinum blonde hairstyle. Cranking it up a notch with a side-swept style and heavy tease, Zoe Kravitz completed the look with a bold red lip and cut-out detail black gown, leaving us to pick our jaws right up off the floor. r" target="_blank">Alanis Morissette’s style evolution…

Just when we think we’ve got our favourite VF Oscar Party nailed down, Zoe Kravitz goes and tops herself the following year. The feathers! The pixie cut! The legs! Oh, the legs… off-the-charts style moments are becoming a theme for Zoe, who can’t seem to do any wrong when it comes to her films, and her fashion. Yes, queen!

Rocking the cut-out detail to top all cut-out details to the MET Gala in 2019, Zoe Kravitz shut-it-down in a big way. Is it daring? Absolutely. Do we love it? Uh, we’re still not even sure — but did she rock it like no one else could? Hell, yes.

The power of love — and fashion — is all you need to appreciate Celine Dion’s style evolution.

Wearing a gold bikini-style top and maxi skirt, Zoe Kravitz still managed to look like a total goddess at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2019, where she stepped out alongside long-time-boyfriend-turned-husband, fellow actor Karl Gusman. With some heavy arm-candy on her arm, and style that won’t quit, we can’t wait to see what major moments our favourite Big Little Lies star brings us in 2020 and beyond.
