Hold on to your hats! Zoë Kravitz and an all-star cast show what modern beauty looks like

Zoë Kravitz is cultural royalty. Yet over the past decade, she’s charted her own course, ablysteering clear of any dynastic drama.

That speaks not only to her talent but to her ability to navigate her art and her career, just as she saw her parents, Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, do. These days Kravitz has been busy promoting her new indie mystery (Gemini), gearing up for her band Lolawolf’s second album (due out later this year), filming the second season of the HBO juggernautBig Little Lies, and serving as the global makeup ambassador of YSL Beauté. It’s quite a way for the 29-yearold to be wrapping up what’s been a defining decade in her life. So for her InStyle cover story, we thought it would be interesting to have her speak with someone who’s seen that evolution up close. Enter her godmother, actress Marisa Tomei. The pair sat down in Kravitz’s L.A. home in early March to talk about embracing age, the restorative power of saunas, and the importance of finding your tribe.

MARISA TOMEI: Hi, darling.

ZÖE KRAVITZ: Hi, Godmama.

MT:Aww. I’ve known you since you were a tiny babe

ZK: It’s funny because Jillian—my manager and a dear friend of us both—just now said, “This is so great because you guys have known each other for 30 years,” and I was like, “Ahhh!” [Kravitz turns 30 later this year.] I never really thought about age until recently.

MT: I remember when I was 30 I was working a lot. I mean, intensely.
