Zoë Kravitz has grown up in the spotlight, and her style along with it. With a collection of minimalist tattoos and goddess-like braids, the L'OFFICIEL star's bohemian and eclectic fashion may have been passed down from her parents, actress Lisa Bonet and rockstar Lenny Kravitz, but Zoë adds her own edgy flair that no one can replicate. For her role as Catwoman in The Batman from 2022, style was a critical part of the equation. She was a perfect fit for the role with her uniquely fashionable background, and almost instantaneously became synonymous with the legendary female vigilante due to an impeccable on-screen performance.

Kravitz has held a position in the public eye as a tastemaker for a long time now, especially because her famous parents often brought her with them to events from a young age. Early in her career, she reached notoriety for embracing boho-chic and rock-inspired looks which reflected the strong influence of her parents who were known for similar styles with vintage pieces, plenty of fringe, leather jackets, and skinny jeans. Later, Kravitz’s persona underwent a major shift as she opted for edgier looks, often monochromatic and sleek. This change was no doubt a result of close collaboration with high fashion brands and an introduction to the designer world. Recently, her red-carpet style has become totally high-fashion with all the glamour expected of someone who transitioned from singer to hollywood mainstay.

The fashion icon is making her directorial debut in the upcoming Thriller/Suspense film Blink Twice about a cocktail waitress who ends up at a tech billionaire’s luxurious party where nothing is quite right. It stars Naomi Ackie as the cocktail slinging protagonist, and Kravitz’s own fiancé and the face of Versace Eros himself, Channing Tatum as the tech mogul, Slater King. The movie has received very positive reviews from critics thus far as it prepares for a theatrical release on August 23rd. On the Blink Twice Red carpet, Kravitz has made her presence felt with looks that captivate her masterful balance of edgy and chic that shows her experience with and mastery of cool girl style.

As we prepare for her new movie, here is a look back on Kravitz’s extensive style evolution.
