Joey King, star of "The Princess," poses at the premiere of the Hulu film, at the Hollywood Legion Theater in Los Angeles
LA Premiere of "The Princess", Los Angeles, United States - 16 Jun 2022
She began the whole thing at the premiere of The Princess in a mega skirt with a little light scaffolding up top, as if the bodice is merely being restored and will be shown to its greatest glory later.

This is, in fact, a dress with a separate crystal top by someone else that's been layered atop it. Points for creativity, and for using a top that's basically a necklace AS a necklace. I'm not sure if it works, but I'm not mad at the effort. She REALLY loves clompy shoes right now, too.

This is a painful-looking bralette underneath a separate suit by Materiel. I wonder if the strings are tuned. If she plucks them, do they play a song?

This would be workable if the shirttails weren't poking out the bottom, and the top weren't squeezing her bust in funky ways. But those are the two main design elements, so.

This is honestly one of her most striking looks, and it's not lost on me that it's Kim Kardashian's favorite designer, echoing her recent taste for extreme simplicity and also wigs. I see that and I understand it and yet I like this.

Hard no to the bodice. It is NOT the person who made the bralette a few slides back, but it feels like they called each other at 3 a.m. while they were working and whacked out on sugar.

And, her last effort. Which I don't even mind, except I wish her navel would sit this one out. But it's been quite a gamut and quite a gauntlet, and she's probably ready to take a page out of Brad Pitt's book and put on some elastic waist sweats -- except at her house, in front of Virgin River season 4.
