Zoe Kravitz

Zoe Kravitz, from Giant MagazineIt’s almost criminal to write about this woman, Zoe Kravitz, as sexy. How is it that the same little girl for whom Lenny Kravitz wrote “Flowers for Zoe” is a standing-on-the-verge-of-getting-it-on actor-musician? She’s done 8 movies and a bunch of TV? Repping Vera Wang and Alexander Wang? She’s almost 23?!? What is going on?

Don’t get it twisted, I see the beauty, the smolder. She’s all cheekbones and sass, some crazy combination of two of the more beautiful people on the planet. I mean, how do you have Lisa Bonet (an all-time TV crush) and Lenny Kravitz as parents and not be eye-catching? (side note: now in 1988, who’d have thought Lenny would have the wildly more successful career, and I bought “Let Love Rule” on cassette!)  Petite, almost feline in her inscrutability and remove, every picture, every frame from a movie says “Seriously, this isn’t for you.”  With two movies coming out soon—“X-Men: First Class” and “Yelling to the Sky” you’ll get to see it first hand.

Then there’s the band, Elevator Fight. She has a surprisingly husky singing voice. Not like Tracy Chapman, but with gravitas that can’t come from age. She’s a little rock-n-roll, somewhere between Patti Smythe, Kate Bush, and Joni Mitchell. Zoe has that big-city kid cool with the pedigree to match. As a hobby, it’s not a bad side line to choose.

Seriously? Zoe? Damn. . . .
