Joey King Nearly Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction at Women in Film L.A. Event

Joey King made waves at the Women in Film L.A. event last Thursday, where she accepted the prestigious Face of the Future Award. ‘

While the 25-year-old actress stunned in a chic, shirtless pantsuit, her evening took an unexpected turn when she experienced a wardrobe malfunction mid-ceremony—a moment that has since gone viral.

Wearing a sleek gray blazer and matching trousers, King skipped the typical red carpet gown, opting instead for a bold power suit that stole the spotlight. However, as she left her dinner table to accept the award, slow-motion footage captured the near-embarrassing moment when her jacket began to fall open, leaving her scrambling to keep it closed. With quick reflexes, Joey used her hands to pin the blazer shut, narrowly avoiding a full-on fashion mishap.

In a light-hearted Instagram post, Joey reflected on the incident, writing: “Face of the Future is what they were promised… I am what they got.”

Fans flocked to the comments, celebrating her down-to-earth response. One user joked, “The top was trying to give a show with ceremony, nice save though!” Another praised the women around her, writing, “I’m glad they helped her instead of just standing there, I love women!” Others loved seeing Joey’s relatability, with one fan commenting, “She has regular girl problems, even as a star.”

Joey’s fashionable evening was part of her ongoing collaboration with Max Mara, who honored her achievements with the award. “Max Mara is proud to honor the multi-talented actress and producer, Joey King,” the fashion house posted on Instagram, celebrating her style and career.

In true Joey fashion, she made a quick recovery from the wardrobe malfunction and wowed again the following night at the Academy Museum Gala, switching things up with a stunning strapless Carolina Herrera gown. Despite the hiccup, Joey’s charm and elegance remain intact, proving that even a malfunction can’t stop her shine.
