Zo Kravitz Teases 'Cool Dad' Lenny Over His See-Through Shirts At Walk Of Fame Ceremony

In a heartfelt speech in Los Angeles, the actor playfully roasted the signature style of her musician father.

Lenny Kravitz  was honored this week with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and some playful roasting from his daughter.

The musician was joined by actor Zo Kravitz  on Tuesday as he received the 2,774th star at the Los Angeles attraction.

In a speech, the Batman leading lady delivered a heartfelt tribute to her dad, but the moment wasnt complete without her sneaking in a few unexpected jabs.

Lenny Kravitz, Ive had the pleasure of knowing you for a long time, and I must say, being your daughter has been one of the great adventures of my life, Zo Kravitz began.

Since you were so young when I was born, in many ways, weve grown up together, she said. The Fly Away singer was only 24 years old when he and then-wife Lisa Bonet  welcomed Zo Kravitz in 1988.

Weve been through a lot. Weve seen a lot. Ive seen a lot, she continued. 

Ive seen you change in the most beautiful ways. Ive seen the way youve stayed the same in the most important ways. Ive seen the way you show up and take care of the people you love. Ive seen your incredible dedication to your art, she said, before joking, But mostly, Ive seen through your shirts.

According to my dad, she went on, if it doesnt expose your nipples, its not a shirt. And sure, it used to embarrass me when youd pick me up from school as a kid, but Ive got to say, at this point, I respect it. You really do pull it off. Your relationship with the netted shirt is probably your longest one, and it works.

As her dad chuckled beside her, Zo Kravitz added: You two make each other better, and if it aint broke, dont fix it. Its a beautiful thing.

Lenny Kravitzs signature style often features see-through or otherwise revealing shirts.

With the jokes aside, the Kimi star proceeded to explain that Lenny Kravitzs cool dad vibes are due to reasons that many might not expect.

Whats cool about you is not what people think is cool about you, she said. Your radness doesnt come from your shades or leather pants or netted shirts; it comes from your true love of life. Everything you do is an expression of that love.

Nodding to the musicians late parents, actor Roxie Roker and TV producer Sy Kravitz, Zo Kravtiz continued: I know Grandpa Sy and Grandma Roxie were already so proud of what they got to watch you do and accomplish, and I know that they are still watching in awe of the man and artist you have become. I know I am. Congratulations, youre a star.

Zo Kravitzs fianc, Channing Tatum , also appeared  at the event to celebrate the rock icon, as did actor Denzel Washington , who delivered a few jokes and kind words of his own.

In his acceptance speech, Lenny Kravitz gushed about how it felt to earn a star.

As a teenager, I spent a lot of time walking up and down Hollywood Boulevard seeing the names of all my idols, he recalled.

I never dreamt about having a star. I was usually just looking for a place to crash. But I did dream about making the music I wanted and doing my own thing. To see my name, Lenny Kravitz, permanently engraved on the same streets I used to walk is a surreal, indescribable feeling.
