Zoë Kravitz’s Mules & Denim Shorts Prove Wrong-Shoe Theory Right

This weekend, Zoë Kravitz returned to her old stomping ground—New York City—after two months in London and Mexico with her boyfriend, Harry Styles. The New Yorker’s first homecoming ‘fits suggest she stocked up on fall-ready shoes while abroad. This week, after stepping out in black ballet pumps, Kravitz made a strong case for the fall switch-up in suede mules.

Back in April 2026, the last time the paparazzi spotted Kravitz in NYC, she rotated between then-shoe trends like flip-flops, high-vamp flats, and sheer stilettos. If September wasn’t a week away, she might’ve worn her spaghetti-strap camisole, denim shorts, and raffia basket bag with ballet flats or thong sandals. But, being the unpredictable fashion girl she is (and with the slight chill in New York), Kravitz unexpectedly styled the otherwise summer-forward look with The Row’s sold-out, heeled Adela Mules.

The suede mules seem to be a new addition to Kravitz’s ever-expanding The Row collection, even though Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen debuted the Pre-Fall 2017 shoes in their first footwear launch almost ten years ago. At the time, The Row sold the silhouette in white or burnt orange leather, burgundy velvet, gray or black suede, and navy blue with transparent PVC pumps.

They also earned Ashley Olsen’s endorsement beyond the design studio: In May 2016, the actor-turned-designer wore them with a top-handle tote from The Row.
