1989: Lenny, Lisa, Zoe
BABY CHEEKS. I also love that this photo makes it look like Baby Zoe is side-eyeing a photographer.
Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz
This is on the level of my favorite suffer-no-fools baby of the moment, Kaavia James, daughter of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade. I love this.
1997
Here, she's twinning with her father, and also delivering a stone-cold no-bull face straight to camera. "I dare you to talk smack about his hat," she's thinking. "I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU."
2000
Now she's got her own hattitude. Zoe wasn't actually seen out and about that much as a kid, so it's fun to see that she still had a very distinct sense of style -- or at least liked to play around as much as her parents did/do.
2006
I have a lot more thoughts about Lenny's necktie situation than I do about Zoe's very normal wrap dress. (She would have been 18 here.) Specifically, that it looks like he made up a necktie out of a very long pocket square.
2007
Zoe was not in this movie with Ben, so... maybe they were dating? She was 19 and he was 28, if you're interested. I love that she went with a zesty shoe, but this outfit definitely NABs. You know Lisa has a bunch of arm bangles at home she could have lent.
2007
This outfit was a shrieker for me because a) I thought it had one fur sleeve -- it doesn't; tha'ts a scarf -- and b) I thought it had a patch of hair on the front, but I believe that is HER hair, caught in said fur scarf.
2007
Very reasonable!
2007
She's in this movie, in a very small role (it's a Jodie Foster flick -- by which I mean Jodie is actually acting in it). This is a great, confident pick.
2008
She may have cut her hair with the same instrument she used to tear up those tights. (She also may have hiked there through the hills? Those are some dirt-caked shoes right there.)
2008
Chanel is a weird match for her - and that purse sticks out like a sore thumb with this - but it's fine? It's aggressively fine.
2008
This is from the Met that year (she did not go on-theme; it was superheroes) and I appreciate the classic bombshell vibe but I don't think it fits.
2009
The OTHER thing about Zoe is that she has the capability to look 26 one moment and then 14 the next. This photo is months after the previous one, but she looks like a high-schooler. (Maybe that's because the outfit is so terrible.)
2009
That top DEFINITELY feels like either she borrowed it from her mom, or they bought it together. I have no earthly idea what's happening with that skirt. If it looks like that on purpose... then I don't think whoever made it understands skirts.
2009
I feel like she and Vanessa Hudgens would have a lot to discuss.
2010 in Alexander Wang
This dress is hideous, and a great reminder of why I never understood Alexander Wang's meteoric rise.
2010
She SLAYED in this. Simple and elegant. Maybe needs a richer lip? But she aced it.
2010
The dress looks like she was scrambling to get dressed and couldn't quite get the whole thing on properly. Her hair is showing real solidarity with this vibe.
2010
The skirt of this dress is cute enough, but there are a lot of things around it that confuse me.
2010
I am all in on this vibe, too, but the shoes belong to a different outfit.
2011
Well, I love the blazer. When in-person events and movie theaters and such start happening again, maybe we'll all want built-in seat covers on our clothes.
2011
She wore this to the McQueen "Savage Beauty" Met Gala, and "savage" is one way to describe the job someone did on this tailoring.
2011
Oooh, I wonder if she had Bangs Remorse.
2011
Here she is at the X Men: First Class premiere -- this was her biggest role to date, and arguably what launched her. It's an ensemble movie and this feels very much like a This Premiere Is Not Just About Me dress.
2011
That's not a shirt; that's part of a fencing uniform.
2012
At least it took 25 slides to get to the sideboob.
2012
But get ready, because she IS dipping a toe into The Sheers, and it won't be her only one.
2013 in Chanel
I WARNED YOU.
2013
She likes this style a lot and it's probably her best execution of it.
2013
I rather dig this cape dress, and just wish for a dark lip and totally different shoes.
2014 in Balenciaga
Is that an outfit, or fly paper?
2014
This does not look like her to me, but I triple-checked, and it is. I think the eye makeup is doing something to change how we perceive their shape, and this transforms her face. The OTHER reason I didn't think it could be her is that dress. Zoe Kravitz does not seem like someone who would shop at the Adult First Communion rack.
2014
She's back at the Met Gala here, in a dress I would categorize as Rihanna cosplay.
2014
I really do not like that bodice. Nor the blond phase.
2014
She may have agreed, as she's back to her natural shade here. As for he formal shorts and shirt... I'm sure she's wearing whatever she had to from H&M, but evidently this woman loves a big old hunk of fabric hanging down her back.
2014 in Balenciaga
To wit! The lopsidedness of this -- not to mention the bike shorts of it all -- perplexes me.
2014
This is pretty good though!
2014
This feels like a real I'm Embracing That I'm Lisa Bonet's Daughter phase.
2014
2014
How much of that fringe do you think got torn off by the end of the night - by accident, or by her own frustrated hand?
2015
What was Fendi even DOING.
2015
She is facially so stunning, and then ... it's like a furry produce bag.
2015 in Calvin Klein
This is like CK wasn't even trying. If you want to make wedding nighties, then just DO IT, already.
2015 in Dior
Another cape scenario! This one is quite cool though -- it's an actual interesting Dior that isn't relying on sheers.
2015
Ugh, whereas this -- I don't have a credit but I'd guess Valentino? -- makes her look like a Reign extra.
2015
The descent into sheers is always the saddest part of any slideshow.
2015
This seems to have ignored the "China" part of the theme and just gone straight to "through the looking glass," as we are looking through it.
2015
And then she got TP'd at Cannes.
2016
And now we're just at Defcon Nipple.
2016
Whatever fisherman caught her must have been VERY surprised.
2016
I don't hate this, but neither do I love it. I DO, however, wish we saw her more in cool suits.
2016
This dress is all about the mask and the giant bow in the back. The shoes look like she glued fabric scraps to herself and called it a day.
2016 in McQueen
This truly IS a dark timeline.
2017 in Armani
This is fine. I will take fine! We had a long stretch where I yearned for fine.
2017 in Versace
This dress disturbingly evokes a noose for me.
2017
Why are those sleeves happening to her?
2017 in Oscar de la Renta
I think I was lukewarm on this at the time -- it was for the Rei Kawakubo gala, where I think Zoe could have had a lot more on-theme fun. It's not poorly made, but it does look heavy. It drags. I guess I'm STILL not on board, then.
2017 in Oscar de la Renta
And that's fine, but not very Oscar.
2017 in Dior
I loved this. Many didn't, but damn, this is one of the things she's worn that I'm always happiest to see again. I LOVE the skirt.
Especially that it continues the Roy G Biv of it all as we wrap around the back.
2018 in Saint Laurent
Sleek and sexy and just absolutely superb.
2018 in Saint Laurent
Horrifying and pinchy and weird. So many people had to have decided this was a good idea, and all of them were so wrong.

2018
Yes, definitely let Vogue be your pap smear.
2018 in Gabriela Hearst
Whereas THIS, I absolutely freaking adore on her.
2018 in Saint Laurent
This was REALLY cutting off her boob circulation, but it's much better than some of the other B.S. that Saint Laurent peddled in her direction.
2018 in Armani
I love a LOT of elements of this -- the color, the earrings, the sparkle -- but the waist-scrunchie looks terribly cheap.
2019 in Saint Laurent
Where's... the rest of it?
2019 in Saint Laurent
This was the camp theme, and it IS campy, I guess, to wear a dress that looks like Maleficent's horns are feeling you up.
20129 in Saint Laurent
That's very cute, though. It's like whiplash with the Saint Laurent in here.
2019 in Saint Laurent
I mean, this is atrocious....
2020 in Saint Laurent
But then THIS is unusual and special.
2020 in OdlR
She took a quick break for some Oscar, and I like it on her. I wish she'd gone punkier with her head-styling, though, as a contrast.
2020 in Saint Laurent
This is the last thing we saw her in, I believe, and I LOVE IT. This ends the whole affair on such a high note. Hopefully Saint Laurent has taken some notes and will send her only the non-heinous stuff from now on. Sigh. As if it's that easy.
