Zoë Kravitz Goes Au Naturel On The Cover Of Teen Vogue

27-year-old Zoë Kravitz went makeup free on the cover of the March edition of Teen Vogue.

The actress and singer was interviewed by her bff, designer Alexander Wang for the magazine.

The bare-faced beauty talked to Alexander about everything ranging from being the daughter of famous parents, her style and being a role model.

See excerpts from her interview and more pictures below!

On if it’s frustrating to always be compared to her parents, Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet: I used to get either bitchy or uncomfortable. That came from the insecurity of thinking people were talking to me only because of who my parents are. I’m in a better place now where I’m confident in my work. And I want to be able to talk about them with love. They’re cool people — I get it.

On her sense of style: You can tell when someone is driven by labels. If something is couture they think it’s important and wear it and sometimes make a terrible fashion mistake. People are shocked that I know so little about designers. I know the big ones because my grandmother wore them or they’ve been around forever. I know you because you’re my best friend, but I don’t know much about the fashion world except for when I like something, I like it.

On when she realized she wanted to be in the entertainment industry:  My mom and grandmother were actresses, and I knew I was going to do this since I was super young. I would put on shows at my grandparents’ house and sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in the living room. I was in drama club and chorus, and I knew every word to Grease.

On the top qualities she looks for in a human: Humor trumps everything and is probably number one. I think it trumps being politically correct. We live in such a PC world because of social media, which makes me sad. Loyalty is also very important to me. I’m an incredibly loyal person. And kindness. I think being kind is actually harder than people like to admit. It’s hard for me sometimes to be kind. I have to check myself all the time about how I treat myself and other people.

On being a role model: For a long time I didn’t want that label or that pressure. What shifted recently is when I see girls who know my work or come to my shows and see themselves in me. When I think of my version of a role model, it’s not about being the perfect Samaritan; it’s just being out there and being honest and happily imperfect.

On what’s next for her: I want to write and produce and direct and star in my own films. I have so many half-written scripts, ideas that I think are really great. I just don’t have the time to get them off the ground. It makes me upset, because we live in a day and age where you can really develop your own projects now.
