Zoë Kravitz has always embraced fashion as a form of self-expression, moving effortlessly between pared-back minimalism and boundary-pushing red-carpet drama.
And few comparisons illustrate her range better than these two looks—one a casual 2021 New York street-style moment, the other a daring Valentino ensemble from her 2016 Allegiant premiere.
1. Off-Duty Minimalism: Blue Tank, Satin Maxi Skirt & Square-Toe Sandals (2021)

Meeting up with a male friend for lunch at an outdoor restaurant in New York City on Sunday afternoon, the Big Little Lies actress went braless in a blue tank top paired with a gray satin low-rise maxi skirt, black oval Oliver Peoples x The Row sunglasses, a green Telfar bag, and square-toe sandals.

While her 2021 look leans into quiet luxury and effortless summer ease, Kravitz’s red-carpet style has often told a very different story—one defined by bold silhouettes, striking textures, and fearlessly unconventional details.
2. Bold Red-Carpet Drama: Valentino Fishnet Fringe Dress & Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” Heels (2016)
In March 2016, Zoë Kravitz stepped onto the “Allegiant” premiere red carpet in one of her most daring — and divisive — fashion moments, turning heads at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 Theater in New York City.
