The skirt world is spilling over with trends—from micro miniskirts and skorts to maxi column styles and lace-trim slips—most of which are considered controversial in some way, shape, or form. People even love to debate whether pencil skirts are in or not, and they're one of the genre's most classic items. But there are exceptions, and Zoë Kravitz just wore one of them to a screening in New York City for her new movie Blink Twice, starring Channing Tatum and Naomi Ackie.
For the showing, Kravitz chose a look from The Row's winter 2025 collection from top to bottom, wearing an almost-sheer tan bodysuit with a black wrap-around plissé midi skirt and matching pumps. She also carried one of the brand's Ascot bags.
On the model:
Pleated skirts like Kravitz's have long held a place in the fashion crowd's heart, specifically plissé styles by Issey Miyake. The designer's signature dresses and separates in the fabric are a staple in chic people's closets because of their comfort, versatility, and interesting texture. In fact, my fellow senior editor Anna LaPlaca just returned from Japan with two plissé pieces by the brand, sharing that she would've invested in more of them if she could have.

Issey Miyake's plissé pieces have made Kravitz's geometric skirt style one of fashion's most revered and sought-after silhouettes, so it's no surprise that other brands are using the pleating technique to much success.
