No, That's Not a Floating Floral Dress: Joey King's Outfit Creates a Cool Optical Illusion

15/10/2019 - 07:23 PM

The latest thing in fashion? Full-length bodysuits under party dresses. Joey King [1] tried out the juxtapositional trend at the annual Elle Women in Hollywood event on Monday in Los Angeles, where she wore a black velvet bodysuit and impressionist floral-print dress from Richard Quinn's Fall 2019 collection. The actress completed the outfit with pointed-toe Christian Louboutin pumps and emerald and diamond earrings by Brumani.

Complete with gloves, the bodysuit creates a sort of optical illusion as it makes the dress look like it's practically floating. If it seems familiar, that's because Kendall Jenner wore a very memorable outfit by the same designer [2] to the 2019 Emmy Awards, except her bodysuit was latex and the floral dress was floor-length. Meanwhile, Cardi B made headlines when she wore a head-to-toe Richard Quinn bodysuit [3] to Paris Fashion Week. (And by "head-to-toe," we really mean it: even her face was swathed in floral fabric.)

Also in attendance at the Elle event were Euphoria [4]'s Hunter Schafer and Zendaya [5]. As one of the magazine's many impressive November 2019 cover stars, Zendaya [6] wore a Peter Do pantsuit [7] with a pleated midi skirt layered over it, while Hunter wore a backless fringe Loewe top [8] with pinstripe trousers. So, the evening certainly wasn't lacking in daring looks. Get a closer look at Joey's outfit ahead.
