PARIS — While Anthony Vaccarello sent gold down the runway under the Eiffel Tower, one of the strongest style statements of the night happened off the catwalk. Zoë Kravitz, a longtime Saint Laurent global ambassador, arrived at the Spring/Summer 2027 show in a near-transparent black lace ensemble that immediately dominated social feeds and morning-after coverage.
The look was not from the new collection. Kravitz reached into the Fall 2026 archive for a cropped, long-sleeve lace cardigan with a wide black ribbon tied at the chest and a matching knee-length pencil skirt. The floral lace was semi-sheer throughout. She wore the skirt without an opaque lining, turning the classic skirt-suit formula into something far more revealing and far more memorable.

The Details That Made It Work
Scalloped edges ran along the collar, cuffs, and cropped hem of the top, giving the floral lace a gothic-romantic finish. The ribbon tie at the chest added a deliberate, almost gift-wrapped touch. On her feet she chose Saint Laurent’s Jeanne slingback pumps in black glazed leather — low-cut square vamp, elongated pointed toe capped in metal, and a narrow strap around the back of the foot.
Accessories stayed minimal so the lace could remain the focus: diamond drop earrings, a bejeweled bracelet, and her engagement ring. No heavy jewelry, no competing bags, no extra layers. The result was pure controlled exposure — the kind of styling Kravitz has perfected over years of Saint Laurent appearances.
Why This Look Stood Out
Several other guests also chose sheer lace that night, including Zoe Saldaña and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. What separated Kravitz was the precision of the silhouette. The cropped top and straight skirt created a clean, almost office-siren line that still felt completely unbuttoned. It was sexy without costume, and structured without stiffness.
For American audiences, the moment lands especially well. Kravitz has become one of the most reliable translators of high fashion into cultural conversation. When she wears sheer lace to a major Paris show, the images travel faster and farther than most runway stills.
