One need not a Saint Laurent contract to steal Zoë Kravitz’s style. While Anthony Vaccarello outfits the actor for nearly all of her red carpet appearances, her tastes transcend one brand. What really defines Kravitz’s look is its oscillation: on the one hand, she can lean boyish, opting for menswear-inspired pieces and slouchy fits. On the other, she loves to embrace her sexy side with slinky slips, revealing cutouts, and boundary-pushing sartorial provocations.
What really unifies Kravitz’s wide-ranging tastes is her overall proclivity for the ’90s. Be it a grungy flannel tied around her waist or a threadbare tank top and maxi skirt, the actor filters her wardrobe through a nostalgic lens.
In Elements of Style, we’re distilling a celebrity’s fashion sense into its most basic components. Here, we break down the five key tenets of Zoë Kravitz’s style.
