Zoe Kravitz Gets Artsy Fab In V Magazine, Talks Mom Lisa Bonet Warning Her About Fame, And Harmless Flirting With Jaden Smith

Zoe Kravitz

With her hair in a messy short cut and rocking her own Zoe Kravitz for Swarovski jewelry, who she just launched her own jewelry line for, Kravitz bared her soul and dropped her top for V magazine. She opened up about her famous mom’s worries about her dreams to act in Hollywood even when she was young, working with the swaggerific Jaden Smith and his dad for After Earth, and a lot more. Here are the specific details that had us talking:

When speaking on her early dreams of having a successful acting career (“I definitely always saw myself as a theater or an indie film actress, because those were the things I was always drawn to.”), Kravitz opened up about the fact that her mom, Lisa Bonet, had reservations about her young daughter trying to step in the public eye after. Both Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, famous folks themselves, were able to keep her very protected and out of the limelight for a long while:

“My mom’s whole thing was that she wanted me to wait until I knew what I really wanted. She’d always say, ‘Once you step into the spotlight, you can’t take it back.’”

And she’s literally everywhere now, something the Brooklyn-based actress is clearly okay with. And speaking of being everywhere, she talked about appearing in the film, After Earth, where she plays Will Smith’s daughter and Jaden Smith’s sister, Senshi. While she’s known for being a trendsetting,  pretty cool chick, she says that working with Jaden made her want to step her game up.

“There were moments that I was hanging out with Jaden and thinking, I can’t believe you’re 14, I have to check myself, like what I say to you,” she laughs. “He has so much personality and so much swag, he is so much cooler than I am.”

And it was that swag that almost got her caught up on cougar status…:

“And he’s so handsome, I was always like, When you’re older, you know, we’ll hang out…Nope, that’s inappropriate, you’re 14.”

Check out the full interview over at V’s website, where Kravitz discusses the inspirations behind her line for Swarovski, more about After Earth, and finally being embraced by Hollywood. Love her!

What were you wearing this week? Be glad that you’re not one of these celebrities whose looks for the week shall be critiqued to the nines. But you know I try and keep it real and leave the ugliness at the door. Hey, I said I try. Let’s check out what these fab ladies were wearing from London to LA and NYC.

Voli Lights Vodkas Event in West Hollywood, CA

Eva Pigford

Model and reality personality Eva Pigford showed up for the Voli light vodkas event in West Hollywood brightening up the black carpet with her hot pink dress. The body hugging look was on its mini-skirt ish and had a turtleneck and long sleeves (maybe a bit longer than 3/4). She accessorized with black fingerless leather gloves that had spikes all over them, as well as a black choker with multicolored studs and black leather boots that were of course, heels.

Shout out to what could possibly be box braids on her head (hey, they might be Senegalese twists instead) and the fun long pink nails. And while I love the hair and the nails, I’m not sure if I’m feeling the outfit. The hot pink color is already a lot, but the fact that the dress doesn’t know whether or not it wants to dress her for summer, fall or winter (see the short skirt, 3/4 sleeves and turtleneck to understand the joke–in that order) throws me off. Plus, it’s tight, so tight that you can see the bra she maybe should have passed on. Love Eva, but not this outfit. STOP.

Zoe Kravitz was destined to be a (rock) star from the moment she was born. The daughter of talented singer, musician and actor Lenny Kravitz and Cosby Show and Different World alum Lisa Bonet, Zoe has been around eclectic, free-spirited style all her life.

These days, the young Kravitz is following in her parents’ footsteps and making her mark in the acting world.  She has appeared in films such as The Brave One with Terrance Howard, and No Reservations, alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones. Zoe has also expressed her hereditary singing talent in projects like will.i.am’s “We Are the Ones” music video, in support of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Perusing through fashion magazines or keeping up with red carpet style indicates that Zoe is just as serious about fashion as she is about her budding career. She combines her second-nature rocker chic style and Old Hollywood elegance to create a look we’ll never get tired of watching.
