I realize I can't be Zoë Kravitz, but I can certainly emulate her style—here are 6 autumn outfits I'm rushing to replicate.
If there’s one individual who has recently dominated fashion discussions, it’s Zoë Kravitz with her stunning autumn ensembles. This season has sparked a considerable amount of style discourse—ranging from the endless red carpet appearances at the Venice Film Festival to the gradual reveals from creative directors like Dario Vitale at Versace and Jonathan Anderson at Dior, alongside analyses of Scandinavian fashion showcased during Copenhagen Fashion Week and Oslo Runway. However, it's Kravitz’s remarkable off-duty wardrobe that has truly captured attention. From my personal social media feeds to a multitude of insightful op-eds that delve into this new phase of her style, her unique knack for translating current trends into stylish, easy-to-replicate outfits is what makes her a focal point of interest. Collaborating closely with celebrity stylist Danielle Goldberg, Kravitz has presented a series of aspirational looks during the press tour for her latest film, Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing, all of which are definitely worth noting.
Set in Manhattan during the ‘90s, Kravitz’s outfits exude a carefree charm and an easygoing vibe reflective of that era. So, when a friend inquired about my seasonal mood—suggesting I channel the frazzled Englishwoman aesthetic of Olivia Cooke, cover star of the Who What Wear UK autumn issue—I eagerly declared that I was embracing a Zoë Kravitz autumn.
I've long admired how the 36-year-old approaches fashion. Regardless of her choices, the outcome is always strikingly minimal, effortlessly chic, and undeniably sensual. Striking a balance during the colder months has always been a challenge for me—how can one maintain their identity and personal style amidst bulky knitted layers, wool coats, cashmere scarves, and warm jackets? As Kravitz’s coveted autumn outfits have shown, there are definitely some lessons to absorb here. She may be skirting the line of method dressing with her Carolyn Bessette Kennedy-inspired simplicity, yet there remains an essential aspect that ensures these silhouettes feel contemporary. There are numerous outfit templates showcased by the director of Blink Twice that I aim to incorporate into my own autumn wardrobe, but it’s the precise combinations of specific pieces that truly stand out. Below, I’ve highlighted six outfits that I believe best reflect the spirit of Zoë Kravitz’s autumn capsule collection. From high-quality high street and designer essentials you can invest in to replicate this look at home, to the styling techniques Kravitz employs to elevate these wardrobe staples, keep scrolling to take inspiration from another New York classic, When Harry Met Sally, and indulge in her style.
6 Zoë Kravitz Autumn Outfits I'm Re-Creating Now
1. Bandana + Waistcoat + Pinstripe Trousers
This look blends a touch of Robin Williams' playful spirit, reminiscent of his impressive collection of Issey Miyake and Jean Paul Gaultier pieces showcased in public, with the sultriness associated with her rockstar father, Lenny Kravitz, proving that tailored basics can be anything but mundane. This isn't your standard Savile Row ensemble. The pinstripe trousers and waistcoat, both embraced at this year’s Met Gala, lean more towards a West Coast vibe akin to that of iconic musicians like Aaliyah. The combination of relaxed yet fitted cuts, complemented by a silk scarf and striking diamond choker, infuses the outfit with noteworthy details that elevate it beyond ordinary territory.
2. Long Dress + Ballet Flats + Shoulder Bag
Romantic isn’t a term I’d usually associate with Zoë Kravitz, yet this charming pale yellow dress clearly indicates that autumn brings a time for rest and renewal—perhaps even symbolically turning a fresh leaf. A beautifully comfortable dress simplifies outfit assembly, and I plan to replicate this look with similar long dresses in soft hues. Just add a trench coat and you’re ready to go.
3. Raglan Shirt + Sheer Slip Skirt + Oval Sunglasses
Kravitz’s autumn capsule has revived styles thought to be left behind, like this raglan shirt ensemble. This outfit combines a relaxed, boyish feel with a stylish, sheer slip skirt—a contrast I'm excited to embrace this season. Earlier this year, Kravitz hinted at this trend of blending styles by embodying Carrie Bradshaw’s playful spirit in athletic shorts coupled with peep-toe mules.
4. Oversized Blazer + Pleated Trousers + Flip-Flops
Achieving a cohesive look with contrasting styles requires a keen eye, as both Zoë Kravitz and the Olsen Twins have demonstrated how well suiting pairs with unexpected elements. The casual flip-flops balance the formality of tailored clothes, resulting in a relaxed vibe that many, including myself, find irresistible.
5. White Shirt + Pencil Skirt + Satin Heels
This outfit draws inspiration from the classic style of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who is known for her crisp white shirts and elegant silk skirts
