This French Girl Color Combination Is the Star of Zoë Kravitz's New Rom-Com
From Paris Fashion Week to a New York City film set.
Playing with unexpected pops of color is quickly becoming Zoë Kravitz's favorite hobby. Rotating between cobalt blue, purple, and red makes the minimalist's looks feel unmissable. So much so, colorblocking has secured a starring role in Kravitz's new rom-com, Die Alive.
On October 15, the actor returned to set in an outfit that embodied fashion's red-and-gray obsession. While the movie's costume designer still remains a mystery, whoever it is nailed the casual-cool look. Kravitz was dressed in a light gray tank and dark denim capri pants, with black ballet flats, and a familiar red bandana in her hair.
Zoë Kravitz was spotted on the set of Die Alive, wearing a French girl-coded color combination.
While her engagement ring from Harry Styles was, of course, missing from the character's assortment of accessories, it seems the costume designer still sourced Kravitz's closet for the head scarf and slippers: Last month, she wore the same poppy red piece with a little black dress and The Row flip-flops. Meanwhile, the bow-tied ballet flats seem to be her beloved Dream Ballerinas by Mansur Gavriel.
You'd never know Kravitz was in character.
The contrasting color story is trending for Fall 2026, having shown up on the runways of heritage brands, like Chanel, Chloé, Lanvin, and Lacoste. Kravitz, however, has been sampling the combo since June 2025, when she wore a Heather gray raglan tee with a tomato red trim.
She doubled down on the color play, styling her top with crimson flip-flops from The Row and matching gray bike shorts. To no surprise, Kravitz finished the off-duty 'fit with another bandana.
Back in summer 2025, Kravitz wore the same color combo in an anti-Parisian way.
Kravitz was, without a doubt, ahead of the red-and-gray curve. But the trend has officially gone mainstream, hopping the pond to Paris Fashion Week in September. Showgoers couldn't stop styling the shades together. The red-and-gray color combo became more than a trend; It was a French girl fixture of the season.
Gray pencil skirts have stood the test of time.
You can't go wrong with gray tailoring and a hint of red.
