Zoë Kravitz Slays The New ‘Regencycore’ Trend In A Plunging Velvet Little Black Dress
February 17, 2023 by Maria Pierides
Zoë Kravitz looked incredible when she attended the YSL Beauté Black Opium event in London on Tuesday, February 7th, choosing a striking black velvet Saint Laurent midi dress for the occasion. She understood the sartorial assignment! As the face of YSL’s Black Opium fragrance, it’s clear that all eyes would be on the 34-year-old Big Little Lies actress and she would have to slay with her head-to-toe look – and it was certainly mission accomplished!
The YSL Beauty brand ambassador‘s velvet Saint Laurent ‘Cupro’ midi dress which hails from the brand’s Pre-Fall 2022 collection came with an extremely-daring plunging front, but she still managed to keep things chic and classy due to the dress seemingly seeking inspiration from Bridgerton and the regency era thanks to the embossed gold buttons around her waist and the intricate lace sleeves. The attention to detail in the dress is really quite something, and the actress pulled it off spectacularly!
The High Fidelity actress must have sought inspiration from the likes of Miley Cyrus and Anne Hathaway by also wearing her dress with tights – a necessity in the cold London weather – and accessorized with black pointed-toe pumps, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry.
Zoë wore her hair in a chic updo with her on-trend bangs swept neatly at the top of her forehead; and for glam, she went for smoky eyes and a soft nude lip, while she added a splash of color by way of some bold red nails.
Zoë recently opened up to Essence about her partnership with YSL, saying: “I work with truly wonderful people, and I’ve had the opportunity to go to some really amazing places.” The Batman actress went on to say that she loves how “YSL Beauty embraces individuality. I get to be a part of representing and inspiring people when it comes to their beauty journey.” She added: “And as much as I love that people look to me as a beauty icon, I want people to look inward to themselves for inspiration, not just me. I want to represent individuality and uniqueness. I’m happy to work alongside a brand that supports that idea.”
