From sheer gowns and visible lingerie to boho blouses and ‘90s-inspired separates, Joey King is making the press tour for Practical Magic 2 a lesson in modern romantic dressing. Here are five standout looks that capture her evolving style.
Dark romance, sheer drama
In London, King embraced dark romantic glamour in a custom black sheer halter gown by Miu Miu, layered over visible Spanx underwear. Understated jewellery, pin-straight hair and soft glam kept the look sleek. What makes it stand out is the deliberate lingerie reveal, giving the ethereal, witchy silhouette a provocative high-fashion edge.
A witchy boho mini
For the UK press day, King leaned into a darker take on bohemian dressing in a Roberto Cavalli floral mini, complete with a high turtleneck and dramatic purple-ombre bell sleeves. Mesh pumps, delicate jewellery and auburn waves finished the look. The theatrical sleeves give the vintage-inspired silhouette a distinctly modern-gothic mood.
Butter-yellow fairy tale
At the Practical Magic 2 premiere, King swapped dark romance for ethereal glamour in a custom butter-yellow Miu Miu sheer gown, detailed with delicate floral embellishments. Its empire waist and matching briefs brought a vintage nightgown quality to the look. The unexpected colour softens the sheer trend, giving it a dreamy, fairy-tale finish.
The elevated white blouse
In between promos, King made a case for bringing boho dressing into everyday wardrobes in Dôen’s ruffled white Helena Top, paired with relaxed light-wash jeans and nude heels. Round sunglasses and a matching bag completed the look. The contrast between delicate lace and loose denim is what makes this otherwise simple outfit feel effortlessly polished.
A ‘90s boudoir throwback
In New York, King channelled ‘90s romantic dressing in a semi-sheer cream mesh-lace polo and matching satin mini skirt by Nastya Masha, layered over Victoria’s Secret lingerie. Rose-tinted glasses, drop earrings and soft braids reinforced the retro mood. The look stands out for its playful boudoir layering, balancing delicate femininity with a distinctly nostalgic edge.
