I know most of you don’t care about this couple, but they fascinate me! Penn Badgley and Zoe Kravitz have been together for more than a year by my count. The rumors about them started last summer, when Michael Fassbender (then Zoe’s sort-of boyfriend) was in England filming Prometheus. It began to look like Fassy and Zoe were on a break and Zoe started being seen all over NYC with Penn. Then Zoe and Fassy briefly reunited in Toronto in September, and then they seemed totally over – Zoe and Penn have been loved up ever since. Last year, I thought Zoe was massively downgrading… but I wasn’t too upset about it, because I didn’t really like Zoe and Fassy together. Now Fassy is with Nicole Beharie and Zoe is with Penn and I think this is the way it should be.
I’m including photos of Zoe and Penn doing The Dark Knight Rises carpet separately, but I’m also including a photo of the couple over the weekend in the East Village – they are definitely still together, they’re just not walking red carpets together. As for Zoe and her style… it’s improved so much since she was with Fassbender. I’m still loving her choppy little haircut, it suits her so much. Her premiere dress was “a black silk and mesh cocktail sheath from Emilio Pucci’s Fall 2012 collection.” Although I think this dress would probably look better on someone taller, with a longer torso, I don’t hate it on Zoe. I think she looks super-sexy.
As for Penn… well, he finally shaved off that weird beard/muttonchop facial hair and he’s back to looking really young. They’re both very young! Zoe is 23 years old, Penn is 25. If I could change anything about Penn, it would be his chest-fur flashing – he just looks douchey! Still, I wonder if Zoe isn’t styling him, you know?

There’s something about Zoe I just can’t warm to. I love her new haircut, but there’s something about her I can’t put my finger on.
Also – why were these two actually there? Were they guests of someone? It may just be me being weird, but my pet peeve is people who have absolutely nothing to do with a film turning up to a premiere. A la the Jenner sisters at the Hunger Games.

Maybe they just wants to see the movie. If I was famous I would do the same thing for TDKR and HG. You’re right in they shouldn’t have walked the red carpet.

She always looks dirty. Like she needs a good scrubbin’…
That being said, I like her in the dress.
Note to Pucci – fix your damn zippers. I hate when an expensive dress has ghetto zippers. It knocks the outfit down a couple pegs.

Kaiser-keep these posts coming. I’m also fascinated with them. You are SO right about Penn’s chest hair! WHY does he do that? So gross and douchey. He seems like a smart and sweet dude so cover up the hair because it really gives the wrong impression.
Zoe is so beautiful I think. I just wish she never got the trashy tats but oh well. She’s still gorge.

She’s very pretty, like her hair BUT she should have stayed with Fassbender, soo not a fan of Badgley-he seems like a douchenozzle, and I hate his shoes..

I don’t know why but she always looks so smug to me. It’s like she always has this permanent smirk on her face that annoys me. That and the fact that the only reason people care about her is because of her famous parents.

Those breasts need a good bra…..

She gives the kind of smirk you’d expect from Gwyneth. Both of them wouldn’t be where they are if not for their parents. Neither are particularly talented. Goop’s acting is overrated. She stole Cate Blanchett’s Oscar.
Famewhoring via nepotism. Ugh.

The dress looks almost exactly like a bathing suit I had about ten years ago (god, I loved that suit!) I think the dress would’ve looked amazing on someone taller, like Charlize Theron.

I think she’s gorgeous and quirky in terms of style. She’s got a great face and bod, and yet she always keeps her look mellow and interesting instead of trying to be the prettiest girl in the room.
And I think I’m the only person here who thought her and MF were hot together. lol

I thought Fassy and Zoe were sexy as hell together too. I think that’s what fascinates me about Zoe-her choice in men. Seems like a strange leap from Fass to Penn. Interesting…

Eh; it’s alright. I like the hair, but not how she styled it this time.

I like the dress, and the purse is supercute! To me she is meh.

Wow, she really can wear that dress.

The second to last pic of her, 3rd to last in the post, she looks like a carbon copy of her mother. I had forgotten who her mom was until I saw that…..wow.

LOL.. It is very obvious to me and maybe not the women that are crazy over Fassbender.. The man has a very OBVIOUS TYPE..
Good for him.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
OBVIOUS TYPE. You mean mixed race, Asian, Black, White, tall, short and medium height?:D Cause the man has dated women meeting all those descriptions. He didn’t start dating at age 33 and wasn’t a virgin till he met Zoe Kravitz. LOL.

I think it’s obvious what lisa2 meant and that is he has a preference for darker women. He said himself. And no, I am sure he was not a virgin before he met Zoe, but people could date outside their preference here and there but this guy obviously has a type in which all his gf have fit the description. Nothing wrong with that

Why is it a big deal for Michael to have dated Black women? God some women act like he is the first white man to do so. I’m not gonna delude myself into thinking he has ONLY ever dated BW, but he certainly finds many of them attractive. I like that he is open minded. Nicole is 12 kinds of adorable. I myself perfer darker men. Tan/dark skin and dark eyes really do it for me. However my last boyfriend was blond haired, green eyed. He was good to me and made me laugh, so I dated him. Just because I have a preference of men doesn’t make them the rule. It just means that if they are a good match for me personality wise AND they are tall dark and handsome then all the better!!

Wow-I remember when she was born. I was a teen/college when the Cosby show was on. I can’t believe she’s now a “celeb”.

Oh gross. Whoever this “guy” is he is gross. He looks like such a palmy kind of a dude…I mean c’mon, his shoes are completely making me gross out…no socks. I mean what a NERD! Yes nerd. This is what nerd is. Lame pants too…and what’s with the lame low v neck like tank top and tan shirt? Ugh, I’m over this. Sick. This girl is pretty, something tells me she needs to aim a tad bit higher than this stinky bloke.

She looks SO much like her Mom in the 4th picture down. WOW!

I like tattoos, but hers are just bad.

God, she looks so much like her mother. It’s like I’m flashing back when I look at her. Sh!t I’m old!

She looks really sexy, Penn not so much. Showing off the chest hair is so 70′s. Think cutting her hair brought out the sexy in Zoe. Loved her with Fassy. Maybe they will go back.

Is it serious enough for matching tattoos? She has a feather on her wrist and he has one on his leg.

Am I the only one who thinks she looks NOTHING like her mother Lisa Bonet? I think Zoe looks like her dad Lenny Kravitz.
I don’t see her mother in her face at all and Lisa was super gorgeous when she was Zoe’s age while Zoe is more average looking (not ugly) but not Lisa Bonet beautiful either.

I agree that I have never really seen a pic where Zoe looks like her Mom until I saw the over-the-left-shoulder-in-the black-dress pic posted above. That’s dead on Lisa Bonet. If I didn’t know better I would have said it was Lisa and not Zoe. I actually had to take a second glance.
I can’t wait to see what Lisa’s kids with Jason Momoa grow up to look like.

she’s pretty but gotta do something about that hair

I guess that means I’m the only one who likes Penn. I dont like his dressing but he’s alright and I’ve never heard that he did something douchey so I dont know where that came from..

I dislike her hair cut. I don’t think it suits the shape of her head. Also it looks so over processed and damaged. Not a good loo.

Not a fan of either of them. Zoe is INCREDIBLY overhyped. Untalented celebrity children with trust funds are gonna be running Hollywood one day, and isn’t that just a little depresseing. I’ve seen pics of Zoe where she looks cute, but not many. And my annoyance with her overexposure aside, I never found her to be a particularly attractive girl. A bit manly really. I think she would look much better if she wore flattering clothes, which she too often doesn’t. DO NOT even call her a fashionista. Beyonce is a fashionista, Zoe Kravitz looks like a vagrant.
And IDC if he did cut his hair, Badgely still looks like a muppet.
