Zoë Kravitz's Outfit Is Proof the Ballet Flats Trend Can Elevate a Pared-Back Tee and Jeans Ensemble

Zoe Kravitz wears the ballet flats trend with distressed jeans and white T-shirt on August 22, 2026 in New York City.

The ballet flats trend refuses to die, and it's easy to see why the shoe craze has remained a firm favorite with celebrities. Combined with the high-vamp trend, ballet flats have only grown in popularity throughout 2026, and Zoë Kravitz appears to be a huge fan of the versatile style.

Photographed in New York City on August 22, Kravitz wore a pair of black suede ballet flats with a slight heel and a high-vamp silhouette. It's possible she's wearing Maryam Nassir Zadeh's 40 Roberta Leather Ballet Flats, which are available to shop for $390.

Kravitz's footwear choice paired perfectly with her laid-back look, which included distressed denim jeans and a cropped white T-shirt. Additionally, she carried a statement bag—Saint Laurent's Hortense Leather Shoulder Bag in Black, which retails for $4,000.

The High Fidelity star added a little Y2K edge to her outfit by wearing a pair of white wired headphones, an increasingly popular accessory in 2026.

Basically, Kravitz has made two things very clear with her latest outfit: Y2K-era accessories are back and the ballet flats trend is far from over.
