Partnered with her shimmering footwear, the television personality donned a coordinating white dress with silver accents. The floor-length gown featured a plunging neckline and fringe trim throughout that offered the garment movement. Large crystalized appliques were seen dotted across the white fabric that made up the dress. Adding to the shine, King wore a slew of silver jewelry around her neck and on her lobes.
King’s shoe style is sharp and vibrant. The “CBS Mornings” co-host often wears pointed-toe pumps and heeled sandals in a range of colors, patterns and embellishments for formal occasions, hailing from brands including Paul Andrew, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik. Off-duty, King can also be seen in equally colorful sneakers from Allbirds, Nike and Roger Vivier. She is also not afraid to get comfortable when necessary and recently wore flip-flops on a red carpet.
