Joey King is known for turning heads on the red carpet with her distinctive and daring style. A few days ago, she proved her fashion prowess again by rocking a futuristic look at the Despicable Me 4 premiere.
More recently, she made another striking fashion statement when she hit the red carpet for the premiere of Netflix’s new film A Family Affair with the cast and crew at The Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, California, on Thursday, June 13.
Nicole Kidman towered over her co-stars at 5ft 10 ½ in (179.1 cm). Liza Koshy, who is 5ft ¾ in (154.3 cm); Sherry Cola, at 5ft 4in (163 cm); Joey King, who is 5ft 1 ¾ in (156.8 cm); and Zac Efron, at 5ft 8in (172.7 cm), all appear noticeably shorter next to Nicole’s statuesque height. The contrast is particularly striking, with Nicole’s height accentuated by her elegant, form-fitting nude gown and high heels.

A Family Affair Cast Shines at Glamorous Netflix Rom-Com Premiere
In the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy premiere on June 28, Joey King portrays Zara, the daughter of Nicole Kidman’s character Brooke, and the assistant to movie star Chris Cole, played by Zac Efron.
When Chris’s demanding and philandering behavior prompts Zara to resign, she soon discovers her widowed mother has started a relationship with her former boss.

During the premiere event, the trio graced the red carpet together. Nicole Kidman dazzled in a stunning strapless nude gown paired with a choker necklace.
Meanwhile, ever the charmer, Zac Efron looked sharp in a fitted black shirt under a classic gray suit, finishing it all off with sleek black dress shoes.
Blooms with Floral and Sheer Elements in Simone Rocha Outfit
For her part, Joey King undeniably commanded attention on the red carpet, rocking a look that perfectly blended bold floral accents with the trendy sheer aesthetic.
It is, without a doubt, one of her most stunning red carpet moments yet! It strikes the ideal balance between dramatic flair, alluring charisma, and a touch of romantic sweetness — a combination I absolutely adore.

Joey’s been on a roll lately, creating some truly unforgettable fashion statements, and I’m completely on board with it. This particular outfit perfectly embodies the charming personality that’s always drawn me to her.
For this show-stopping look, the 24-year-old American actress opted for a dream-like, ultra-sheer, two-piece set in black, straight from Irish fashion designer Simone Rocha’s Spring 2024 collection.
The centerpiece of the look was a striking sheer crop top with no sleeves, allowing her to flaunt her toned midriff confidently. The matching high-waisted skirt flowed gracefully down her legs, ending just above her ankles.

I am obsessed with the delicate details throughout the tulle ensemble. Life-like pink roses, slightly less vibrant than those seen on the runway version, peeked through the mesh fabric around the top collar and near the skirt’s waistline. The stunning effect adds a touch of whimsy to the entire look.
She made a bold choice by not wearing anything under the sheer pieces besides underwear. It was a daring move, and it paid off.
Elevating Red Carpet Look with Bold Platform Pumps and Delicate Accessories
Joey King looks absolutely stunning on the red carpet, and her entire ensemble is a masterclass in balancing trends with personal style.
While I appreciate that she went for a matching shoe moment with the platform pumps, a pair of delicate stiletto sandals with floral appliques would have perfectly complemented the romantic vibe of the outfit.

On her feet, Steven Piet’s wife opted for a pair of black Le Silla Nikki platform pumps. These pumps boasted a massive platform and an even bigger block heel, which added height and a touch of drama. While they made a statement, a more delicate shoe would have felt more cohesive with the overall look. You can buy them in many color variations at Farfetch.
The pumps were crafted from sleek black calf leather. They featured a glossy patent leather upper and a closed toe. The rounded vamp and ankle strap fastening kept things classic and elegant.
I agree that Joey didn’t need many accessories to compete with the statement-making dress.
Styled by her longtime collaborator Jared Eng, The Kissing Booth actress added just the right sparkle with a pair of floral Anabela Chan Canary Peony earrings.
A matching Anabela Chan Canary Peony Butterfly ring complemented these perfectly, and she added another Bondeye Popie pink sapphire ring to tie everything together.

Speaking of shining, I love Joey’s glam look. Rena Calhoun styled her signature blonde locks, swept to the side in a deep part, and cascaded down in soft, loose, beachy waves. The hairstyle perfectly complemented the romantic air of the dress, with a few loose strands of hair framing her face for a touch of extra softness.
Her makeup was done by Allan Avendaño, which was soft and beautiful. Shades of nude on her eyelids and lips were the perfect finishing touch to a truly unforgettable look.
