It's a great week to be Zoë Kravitz.

Sometimes you wake up, open your phone and realise: the universe definitely has favourites. 

And right now, it's Zoë Kravitz. 

In the span of a single week, she's managed to do what the rest of us mere mortals would call a "five-year manifestation plan". 

She's allegedly kissing Harry Styles in Rome (strolling cobblestone streets like it's the set of a Nancy Meyers film while they're at it) and simultaneously lighting up Paris with flirtatious sparks alongside her Caught Stealing co-star Austin Butler.

And then, as if she wasn't already several laps ahead of humanity, she casually drops that she's already heard Taylor Swift's unreleased album.

She says it's "fantastic". That there are "no skips". The rest of us are still begging Spotify to stop recommending playlists titled 'Low-Fi Beats to Cry in Coles To' and Zoë's just… previewing The Life of a Showgirl like it's no big deal. 

I don't know about you, but at this point, it feels rude.

Because Zoë isn't just winning the week; she's winning the simulation. She's living out the collective Pinterest board of our fantasies, and she's doing it with the type of nonchalance that makes you want to both applaud and throw your phone off a very high cliff directly into the sea. 

Right now, Zoë Kravitz is the moment, the lifestyle, the whole bloody brand. 

And look, I may be biased, because technically Zoë and I are best friends. She doesn't know it yet, but it's true. I used to live in Brooklyn in the same building as the gym she trained at. Which means, yes, we basically shared a lease. She was doing Pilates while I was crying into a bagel, but proximity is intimacy, and honestly, it's only a matter of time before I'm invited to brunch at her place and she asks if I want Harry or Austin to pour the mimosas (the answer is both, obviously). 

But back to the week of Zoë. The Harry situation in particular is diabolical. It feels like someone custom-designed a fanfic to torture the rest of us. Harry has been the world's collective boyfriend for years. Zoë has been the world's Cool Girl since, well, birth. Combine them and you've manufactured the internet's final form of hot people chaos.

Did they kiss? Sources say yes. Are they just friends? Sources say maybe. Am I planning on spiralling about this tonight while stirring my bolognese? Absolutely.

Then there's Austin Butler. Soft, sweet-voiced Austin who has been so deep in Elvis cosplay I am completely convinced he signs his emails "thank you very much". He's shown up on red carpets this week basically dressed as Zoë. Same vibe, same tailoring, same aura. Imagine being so magnetic that the Oscar-nominated heartthrob standing next to you is like, "Yeah, I'll have what she's having".

And there are now actual whispers that their chemistry isn't just for promo. The two were spotted at a Parisian bar, leaning in close, laughing like teenagers and — depending on which eyewitness you believe — sharing a very affectionate embrace.

And then — just to really stick the landing — Zoë casually mentions she's already listened to Taylor's new album. I can only imagine the text: "Hey Zo, sending through the files, lmk if you think Track 5 is too devastating." Meanwhile, the rest of us are out here wondering if we'll even survive the first listen.

The truth is Zoë Kravitz is doing all the things we daydream about when we're too embarrassed to tell our friends what we actually manifest on the New Moon. Strolling with Harry. Twinning with Austin. Listening to Taylor before the rest of us peasants. She's living the week we all script in our heads when we whisper to ourselves at 11pm, "Tomorrow will be different."

And tomorrow will be different for Zoë: she'll be photographed sharing spaghetti with Harry like it's Lady and the Tramp, be braiding Taylor's hair in a cosy living room, or on some red carpet where Austin Butler is asking if he can borrow her trousers. Tomorrow she'll trend on TikTok just for blinking in slow motion.

The rest of us? We'll wake up, reheat yesterday's sad pasta, realise our rent is overdue, and mutter, "It's a great week to be Zoë Kravitz."
