Taking to the podium, Zoë dedicated a speech to her father. In a display of their heartwarming father-daughter bond, Zoë hilariously roasted Lenny's choice of shirts. Eliciting laughter from the audience, she said:
"I've seen your incredible dedication to your art. But mostly, I've seen through your shirts. According to my dad, if it doesn't expose your nipples, it's not a shirt."
Zoë Kravitz's light-hearted roast made not only her father laugh, but also amused netizens on social media. With 11 albums in his repertoire, Lenny Kravitz is set to release his 12th studio album Electric Blue Light on May 24, 2024.

"I respect it, you really do pull it off. Your relationship with the netted shirt is probably your longest one, and it works."
"Wow!" Lenny reacted and clapped his hands as the audience burst into laughter. Zoë continued:
"You two make each other better. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's a beautiful thing."
The actress then made a more serious and sincere speech, speaking about how "awesome" it was to have Lenny Karvitz as her father.
