ZOE’S STYLE ELEMENTS
BLACK
If there’s any color or piece Zoë always owns, it’s anything black. A number of her list of iconic red carpet and running errands looks are in the color black – making it Zoë’s signature color for any outfit.
DENIM
Another go-to style element by the cool girl is a pair of trusted denim. Her denim choices usually revolve around shorts or tapered pants making it a closet staple in her arsenal.
MARY JANE & LOAFERS
Zoë has been a trailblazer for dressy shoes. In fact she’s been wearing Mary janes and loafers way before it recently became trendy this fall. She adds her twist by pairing a dressy shoe with a casual outfit – which makes it totally effortless yet put together.
RUSTIC ELEMENTS
Taking inspiration from her mother’s epitome of bohemian chic, Zoë incorporates the rustic elements of that aesthetic to her everyday style. Pieces like corduroy, airy tops, lace trims and beaded accessories make up for that bohemian bourgeois look that she owns.
BUTTON UP SHIRTS
Like denim, having button up shirt is a closet staple. But for Zoë, button up shirts are part of her signature style. From crisp white to satin sheens, she often styles it as a top or as an overshirt.
SHIMMER
Like black, Zoë’s choice for evening or party looks usually revolve around shimmery pieces like this bedazzled dress at the Met Gala to simple silver and sequined dresses. An element you can always expect to see from her on the red carpet.
SMALL FRAMED SUNNIES
It’s not a “Zoë Kravitz” look without small framed sunnies. Whether it’s sunny out or simply worn to ignore the paparazzi, 90’s-esque silhouettes with dark tints are an accessory she won’t be seen without.
