In a ceremony bursting with affection, laughter, and a touch of whimsy, music icon Lenny Kravitz marked his place among Hollywood’s elite with a star on the legendary Walk of Fame. The event, held under the sunny skies of a Tuesday afternoon, unveiled Kravitz’s star at 1750 North Vine Street, strategically positioned in front of the iconic Capitol Records Tower.
The star-studded celebration featured heartfelt speeches from special guests, including Kravitz’s daughter Zoë Kravitz and acclaimed actor Denzel Washington. Attendees, including Channing Tatum, rumoured to be engaged to Zoë, Verndine White, and Evan Ross, created an electric atmosphere.
Kravitz, rightfully honoured in the Recording category, received recognition for his remarkable musical journey. Zoë Kravitz, known for her wit, humorously acknowledged her father’s bold fashion choices, joking, “According to my dad, if it doesn’t show your nipples, it’s not a shirt.”
Denzel Washington spoke warmly of his deep connection with Kravitz, stating, “We’re twins, just without the resemblance,” highlighting their profound bond.
To add to the accolades, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce declared March 12th as Lenny Kravitz Day in Hollywood, a fitting tribute to the artist who has considered the city home since he was 11 years old.
In a touching speech, Kravitz shared his gratitude to the city and those who supported his dreams. “To everyone here who has nurtured my dreams, this star—this belongs to all of us. Thank you all, and let love be our guide,” he shared.
The unveiling of Lenny Kravitz’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was a joyous celebration of a life devoted to art, love, and the enduring magic of music, adding a dazzling touch to the iconic landmark.
