Zoe Kravitz and Austin Butler continued to fuel the romance rumors at the premiere of their new film Caught Stealing.
The duo had a flirty exchange on the red carpet, with Austin placing a hand upon Zoe’s bare waist as he leaned down to chat with her.
Zoe placed a friendly hand on his arm and cast a smile at him, her sculpted abs on full display in quite the smoldering ensemble.
She worked a black long-sleeve crop top and long flowing skirt with her black hair styled into long, loose waves.
Austin was looking debonair in a black leather suit consisting of a jacket, matching trousers, and complete with sunglasses.
The pair have been at the center of romance rumors for some time, and last week they sent the speculation into overdrive as they put on a flirty display at a Paris bar, with an insider telling Daily Mail the duo have ‘chemistry’.

‘It’s not quite a fully fledged romance but Austin hasn’t been friend-zoned either,’ the source said.
Just days later, however, Zoe was also seen enjoying a romantic stroll with Harry Styles in Rome, with the duo shown linking arms in video captured by a fan.
Austin and Zoe are both fresh out of high-profile romances with Kaia Gerber and Channing Tatum respectively, and a source told The Sun in April that the duo have been ‘getting on very well.’
They told the Sun: ‘Their chemistry is as good off-screen as it is on it. Austin and Zoe have been keeping it under the radar and aren’t putting a label on anything yet. They are both very respectful of their ex-partners and are just seeing how things go.’
In July, however, a source poured cold water on the dating claims when speaking to TMZ.
The pair star alongside Hollywood legend Liev Schreiber as well as former Doctor Who star Matt Smith, Vincent D’Onofrio, Regina King and Bad Bunny in Darren Aronofsky’s comedy crime film.
As per Deadline, the film ‘follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ’90s New York City.’
Caught Stealing marks Austin’s latest high-profile role after starring in Dune: Part Two, which remains the highest grossing film of 2024 thus far.
