In the Eternal City, Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles have set the internet ablaze with a casual stroll.

On Sunday evening, August 24, a fan-filmed video (see here) captured the duo walking arm-in-arm through the cobbled streets of Rome, both incognito, dressed in dark sunglasses and discreet baseball caps. The actress was also wearing a white mini dress and black ballet flats, while Styles wore his signature blue chore jacket, jeans and Dries Van Noten sneakers.

Though not much else was captured—not even enough for Internet lip-readers—their ease in each other’s company is telling. The clip, which was shared on X, has since spiralled into one of the weekend’s most feverish talking points.

But the timing is intriguing. Kravitz, 36, is in the midst of a global press tour for her new film, Caught Stealing, and was only days ago photographed in Paris, sharing an intimate evening with her co-star Austin Butler. Styles, 31, meanwhile, has been enjoying a summer of his own romantic headlines: from a Glastonbury kiss with a mystery woman in June to reported festival flirtations with producer Ella Kenny, following his split from Taylor Russell in May.

Adding further intrigue to this development is Kravitz’s recently ended engagement to Channing Tatum, and her long-standing friendship with Taylor Swift, who famously dated Styles during her Red album era in 2012.

Kravitz herself recently praised Swift’s upcoming The Life of a Showgirl album as “fantastic, no skips,” suggesting the bond between the two still stands, which makes her arm-in-arm moment with Styles all the more compelling.

Since splitting with Tatum, Kravitz has also been rumoured to be dating Noah Centineo following multiple sightings together around New York City, but neither party ever commented on their relationship.

For now, all that exists is this little snippet and some hopeful speculation. While a romantic connection could spur some drama among Swifties, both Kravitz and Styles’ respective aesthetics would instantly make them Hollywood’s most stylish couple. So while there could be nothing to the outing, fashion enthusiasts will certainly ship this one.
