Star-making style moments are few and far between, but every so often a newcomer distinguishes herself with a spectacular debut. Tonight’s Golden Globes ceremony was full of well-dressed guests, but no one stood out quite like Joey King, the 20-year-old star of The Act. Universally acclaimed for her performance on the series, King was already a winner before she arrived at The Beverly Hilton, but she still chose to make an entrance. In a 3-D printed couture creation from Iris van Herpen , King was among the night’s most innovative attendees. The black and white pleated mini-dress with a cape-like train was unlike anything else on the carpet, and King wore it with grace.
Throughout her press tour for The Act , King and her stylist, Jared Eng, have had fun experimenting with unexpected fashions, and this weekend they kicked things into high gear. King’s quick change from a bronze Mary Katranzou mini at Saturday’s W Magazine party to pearl-encrusted Markarian for the BAFTA’s bash that same day was thrilling, but nothing could top her Globes debut. The striking couture piece was the icing on the cake that introduced the world to a brand new star.
