Whether it’s her miscellaneous tattoos or her signature pixie cut, Zoë Kravitz is known for not playing by the rules — and her red carpet style is no different. Her outfits have ranged from naked dresses, fishnet and lace, to polka-dots and Barbie pink. Though she tends to stick to the same silhouettes and designers, every once in a while she throws a new style into the mix, like a babydoll dress or a classic A-line silhouette.

As the muse for Saint Laurent, Kravitz doesn’t quite match up with her on-screen wardrobe. Though she looks undeniably cool in every film appearance (The Batman, Kimi) or her television shows, her personal style differs. Her wardrobe in High Fidelity (RIP) channeled a ‘90s skater boi aesthetic, with lots of band tees and baggy pants. But her red carpet looks tend to follow a pattern of narrow sheath silhouettes.

Typically, the actress tends to lean towards floor-length, figure-hugging, column dresses, with a sprinkle of texture via sequins or feathers. That being said, her style is far from one-note. Kravitz always channels a rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic, with a bit of Old Hollywood glam for red carpet appearances.

Ahead, take a look through some of Kravitz’s best red carpet looks to date — the spicy, the sweet, and more.

This mix-and-match polka-dot pattern gives off a more feminine look than the actor generally leans toward. It’s yet another custom Saint Laurent Gown (I’m sensing a pattern here, pun intended).

While this may be Saint Laurent, the silhouette is a 180 from her usual column dress. The babydoll-style mini included a sheer tank top and a black bubble skirt with feather trim. TBH, I might like this look best?
