Zoë Kravitz is a style icon to millions. Her fearless choices on and off the red carpet inspire so many of us — especially Black women — to take risks with our beauty, our style, and our hair.
So when she shared a photo on her Instagram of her new brunette pixie cut, I rejoiced. There's a very narrow definition of beauty for Black actresses, one which usually includes long, flowing hair. That Kravitz so often tries new things with her hair, and shows the world that there are a million ways Black women can look, is inspiring.
Here are 16 of her most iconic hair looks of all time.
Zoe rocked baby bangs BEFORE they were cool.
She also slays in a wavy, retro bob.
But she isn't afraid to mix it up. She lovessss box braids.
When she rocked an undercut WITH braids, it took the protective style to a whole 'nother level.
And this top knot braided bun on the red carpet was PERFECT.
When she gelled down her baby hairs for the Met Gala, we loved it.
Zoe always walks the line between edgy and elegant — like this Audrey-inspired tiara paired with undercut braids on "Big Little Lies."
(I bet you wish you COULD.)
Remember when she took her bleach blonde braids to the Oscars' Vanity Fair after-party?
Classic Old Hollywood glamour.
Or that one time when she literally became a flower for her Allure cover?
However, Kravitz isn't afraid to take a risk — as she demonstrated when she started getting her hair cut shorter and shorter.
And when she cut off all her hair, we all said, "YES. GO FOR IT."
Less hair, who cares?
Her bleach blonde pixie cut gave us LIFE.
And with long hair being the standard of beauty, it's great to see Kravitz breaking the norm.
Short hair, long hair, and all styles between — Zoe totally owns it.
Looking amazing *and* inspiring others at the same time? Incredible. I can't wait to see what hairstyle she'll try next!
