Zoë Kravitz’s Signature Shoe Moments: A Blend of Elegance and Edge
Zoë Kravitz has consistently showcased her unique fashion sensibility by pairing designer footwear with standout looks, striking the perfect balance between modern elegance and rockstar edge:
- Saint Laurent: At the 2017 Venice Film Festival, Zoë turned heads in a black velvet dress embroidered with multicolored florals. She finished the look with black ankle-strap sandals from Saint Laurent, radiating effortless cool. Her appearance at the festival was a masterclass in elevating red carpet style with designer heels.
- Alexander Wang: During the Tribeca premiere of Vincent N Roxxy, she embraced minimalist edge in a plunging mesh-paneled Alexander Wang dress. Her strappy ‘Antonia’ sandals completed the look, a perfect example of how Zoë Kravitz blends fashion-forward design with wearable footwear.
- Sophia Webster: At the London premiere of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald, she wore a sculptural fuchsia dress with crystallized details. Though partially hidden by the gown, her Sophia Webster ‘Rosalind’ sandals—with signature crystal heels—added a luxe finish, exemplifying her love of subtle glamour through statement shoes.
- Oscar de la Renta & Christian Louboutin: For the 2017 Met Gala, Zoë embraced romantic drama in a blush Oscar de la Renta gown adorned with real black roses. She paired the look with classic black suede Christian Louboutin pumps, showcasing her ability to fuse classic couture with iconic footwear.

At the New York premiere of The Divergent Series: Allegiant, the short actress showed how a sky-high topknot can increase one’s height.

Despite her petite height, she looked much taller thanks to her high heels and hair arrangement.
“I didn’t measure it, but if I had to guess I’d say 6 inches easy,” hairstylist Nikki Nelms told People about Zoë’s topknot.
“It took no more than 30 minutes,” she added, “maybe even 15. During the fitting, [Kravitz’s] hair was pinned up in a loose topknot, which had a cool look to in relation to the total look, so we decided to do a sleeker, tighter version.”

Footwear Finesse: From Alexander Wang to Christian Louboutin
Photographed at the same “The Dark Knight Rises” premiere as Marion Cotillard in New York in July 2012, Zoë Kravitz rocked a half-revealing, half-all covered-up look in a strategically draped silk and mesh dress from Emilio Pucci.

But unlike Marion Cotillard, who chose contrasting shoe and dress styles, Zoë Kravitz went matchy-matchy with hers. Her ankle-strap pumps had the same half-sheer, half-covered look as her Emilio Pucci dress.

Though I do wish the hemline on Zoe’s dress was taken up a couple of inches, I love her Alexander Wang ‘Sabine’ mesh and suede pumps.
Her heels have a sexy and edgy vibe, perfectly in line with Zoe’s style. That personal style is also evident in how Zoe wore her spiky short hair, her choice of a Bible-inspired black leather clutch, and her blood-red nails.
Alexander Wang ‘Sabine’ Mesh and Suede Strap Pumps in Black, $485.00
Alexander Wang’s street-cool designs are made for women like Zoë Kravitz. However, Zoe also has a penchant for more traditional red carpet style heels.
See, for example, this pair of Christian Louboutin pumps that she paired with a vintage dress to a movie premiere one year earlier:

Even when her outfit makes headlines for reasons beyond footwear, Zoë never forgets the power of a sleek heel. One of her boldest red carpet looks proved that from head to toe, her style is all about high-impact elegance.

She styled her hair in an updo and completed her look with five platinum bracelets with diamonds, earrings, and rings ranging in value from $15,000 to $55,000. Her outfit makes you wonder if there is a dress code.
