Zoë Kravitz was photographed in New York City on August 22, 2026, finishing off a casual outfit with a pair of black suede ballet flats. The flats had a high-vamp silhouette and a slight heel, and she paired them with distressed denim jeans, a cropped white T-shirt and a Saint Laurent Hortense leather shoulder bag in black, which retails for $4,000, according to Marie Claire. The exact flats have been reported, though not confirmed, as Maryam Nassir Zadeh's 40 Roberta Leather Ballet Flats.
Rather than anchoring the outfit with a heel or sneaker, Kravitz used the flats to add a small amount of structure to an otherwise relaxed look. The high-vamp cut, which closes over most of the foot instead of exposing the toes the way a classic ballet flat does, gives the shoe a sleeker, more finished line. Combined with the Hortense bag's structured shoulder shape, the flats kept the outfit from reading as purely thrown-together, even though every other piece, the jeans, the tee, was simple.
