American Woman - Zoë Kravitz
Instyle UK|November 2015

Mum and Dad are hot, stylish and uber-talented, so does it go without saying that Zoë Kravitz will be off-the-scale gorgeous, too? (Spoiler alert: totally)

American Woman - Zoë Kravitz

Her dad is Lenny Kravitz, the awesome Afro-haired, leather-trouser-clad rock star who was all over the charts in the 90s with the likes of Are You Gonna Go My Way (and who you might recognise more recently from playing Cinna, Katniss’s stylist, in The Hunger Games). Her mum is Lisa Bonet, famous for playing Denise Huxtable in The Cosby Show in the 80s (the incredibly beautiful one you had a massive girl-crush on). With her striking face, cooler-than-cool attitude and laid-back rasp, Zoë Kravitz oozes stylish genes. Although her parents divorced amicably in 1993 when she was just five years old, she’s taken after both of them in more than just the looks department Zoë’s acting career is flying right now – this year she starred in the box-office smash Divergent franchise (Insurgent) with Shailene Woodley, and the long-anticipated Mad Max: Fury Road, which garnered rave reviews. When she’s not acting, she’s playing in her band, Lolawolf, with her best friends, a sideline she started (slightly) by accident after they uploaded some songs online that went viral. We caught up with Zoë as she modelled (yep, she does that too) Dior’s Cruise Collection in Cannes.

What was it like growing up with famous parents?
