King is a fan of colorful and metallic pointed-toe pumps and color-coordinated looks. At the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, she paired her purple gown with holographic silver pointed-toe heels. For the F1 Academy Series race track in Austin in October 2023, she walked the track in silver glittery Miu Miu platform sneakers. During an August 2023 taping of “Good Morning America,” she channeled Barbiecore in pair of SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker “Reflection” pointy-toe pumps with a color-blocked metallic toe.
The MoMa benefit raised money for the art museum’s Black Arts Council, which was founded in 1993 to increase “visibility, access, and appreciation for art and artists of the African diaspora” at the esteemed institution. The event honored civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill and artist Glenn Ligon and featured a performance from Cautious Clay and The Community.
