Most actors who came up during the Noughties had it rough. They are forever haunted by red carpet images of their younger selves, clad in low-slung jeans, slogan tees and the odd sequin belt while pulling peace signs. Baker boy cap typically included.
Despite her career kickstarting during said tumultuous era, Joey King has fashioned herself as a style veteran. The star, who turned 25 on Tuesday, was introduced to Hollywood aged nine. Appearances in blockbusters such as Crazy Stupid Love, The Dark Knight Rises and The Conjuring quickly solidified the child star as one to watch, in both the acting and wardrobe department.

With leading roles in Netflix’s hit series The Kissing Booth and The Act, Joey’s rise up the fashion ranks came naturally. The red carpet appearances came in thick and fast, meaning the now-25-year-old has to carve out a signature style.
And she did just that. Preppy silhouettes, vibrant hues and sculpting shapes began to dominate her wardrobe. Standing at just 5’4, the star leaned into her petite appearance, opting for lengthening pencil skirts, roll-necks and long sleeves to exude a chic Valley Girl charm.

Her real style ascension came in 2022. The success of David Leitch’s Bullet Train positioned Joey firmly on the radar of the fashion press. Looks courtesy of Marc Jacobs, Kenzo and Cong Tri adorned the actress, who took to the floor alongside co-star Brad Pitt.
2024 was also particularly fruitful for the California-native. Following her 2023 Majorca wedding with producer and director Steven Piet, for which the bride wore Oscar de la Renta, Joey continued to star in Netflix feature A Family Affair and series WeWere The Lucky Ones alongside Logan Lerman.
