When Zoë Kravitz leaves the house our fashion radars go wild. Whether strolling through New York, attending a red-carpet event, or mingling with fashion’s greatest, the actress always looks enviably cool, naturally put together and effortlessly stylish.
At a petite 5’1”, Zoë has never let her height stop her from experimenting with fashion. Having mastered the art of layering oversized items, as well as styling skin-skimming dresses, the actress is our go-to for unbothered, cool-girl style inspiration.
With equally stylish parents, Zoë’s wardrobe is brimming with cult-fashion buys (we’ve long admired her The Row zip-up boots), but her most called-upon shoe style is one that completely transcends fashion trends: the classic black court shoe.
Her occasion-wear shoe of choice, Kravitz most recently styled a pair whilst in New Jersey for Margaret Qualley’s wedding over the weekend. Kravitz wore her kitten heel black court shoes with a full-length t-shirt dress, a burgundy shoulder bag and black sunglasses.
For red-carpet events, Kravitz’s style formula often comprises of a jet-black dress, minimal accessories and black court shoes. Zoë keeps her makeup on the lighter side, but often experiments with different hairstyles, allowing the minimalism (and her undeniably divine face) to do all the talking.
At the re-opening of Tiffany & Co.’s New York flagship store in April this year, Kravitz once again turned to the black court shoe to style for bejewelled look . Wearing the black court with a shorter hemline, Kravitz demonstrated the versatility of the classic shoe. Whilst a knee-high pencil skirt and black pumps could quickly slip into the category of “dated”, Zoë brought her look up to date by styling her blouse partially un-buttoned and letting her chain-mail bra peak through.
Easily styled with tights, Zoë favours the pump in all seasons. Going into autumn, we’ll take our styling cues from the actress by pairing sleek coats with the equally refined shoe à la Zoë.
