A potential celebrity encounter turned into a display of mutual respect at one of Los Angeles's most exclusive events over the weekend. Zoe Kravitz found herself at the same glamorous party as Kendall Jenner, the former girlfriend of her current beau, Harry Styles.
A Night of Glamour and Grace
The scene was W Magazine's annual party, held at the iconic Chateau Marmont. Any speculation about awkwardness was swiftly put to rest when the two women posed together for a photograph, joined by Hailey Bieber and Odessa A'zion. The image, radiating casual camaraderie, suggested any past connections were firmly in the past.
Both stars commanded attention with their fashion choices. Zoe Kravitz, 37, made a bold statement in a lime green satin dress, perfectly contrasted with a pair of bright red stilettos. Not to be outdone, Kendall Jenner, 30, showcased her svelte figure in a chic black pencil skirt and a plunging, ruched polka-dot top.
Contrasting Romantic Timelines
The moment was poignant given the intertwined romantic history. Kendall Jenner was first linked to Harry Styles in late 2013, shortly after his split from Taylor Swift. Their on-again, off-again connection spanned years, including a sun-soaked New Year's getaway in St. Barts and becoming a topic Harry famously avoided on The Late Late Show in 2019. A source previously noted, "Harry was her first real relationship, so there is a lot of history there," though they ultimately settled on being "just friends."
In stark contrast, Harry Styles's romance with Zoe Kravitz appears to be accelerating rapidly. Linked since August last year after a romantic stroll in Rome, the couple have since been inseparable. Engagement rumours swirled last month after Zoe was photographed wearing a chunky gold band on her ring finger while with Harry in Italy.
The relationship has reached significant milestones, including Zoe introducing Harry to her father, rock legend Lenny Kravitz, and reportedly spending Christmas Day at Harry's family home in Cheshire. A source close to the pair revealed, "Harry and Zoe have a real connection — this is love. It's a real honeymoon period and they're barely apart." The actress is also set to stay with Harry in the UK while she works on a new film project.
Embracing New Chapters
While one relationship deepens, the other party is focusing on self-discovery. In a recent podcast appearance, Kendall Jenner revealed she is deliberately taking a "me year" after turning 29. She explained that after spending much of her twenties in consecutive relationships, she is now prioritising herself. "I felt like through my 20s, I was in a lot... I really love to be present for my partner, and I really put them first most of the time," she said. "So, I think, when I turned 29, I was like, 'I really want to put myself first right now.'"
Despite her current focus on solitude, Jenner remains hopeful for the future, describing herself as "definitely a lover" who dreams of a "beautiful family" and a relationship filled with "understanding and love." Meanwhile, Harry Styles is said to be working on his fourth studio album in Berlin, with Zoe Kravitz joining him, a move insiders see as a sign of their serious commitment.
The elegant encounter at the Chateau Marmont, therefore, symbolised more than just a celebrity snapshot. It highlighted two women at very different points in their personal journeys, gracefully navigating the complex web of Hollywood history while each writing their own next chapter.
