King, who is a close friend of Sabrina Carpenter, arrived at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel in a chic suit. The “We Were the Lucky Ones” actress wore a pair of straight leg dress pants with a matching oversized blazer. King brought unique flair to the event with her textured silver top, which featured a myriad of large paperclips affixed to a base made of chain mail. The layered shirt called to mind Cate Blanchett’s recent outfit which included a top made of 102 spoons.

In addition to her striking top, King wore a pair of attention-grabbing glossy shoes from Naked Wolfe known as the Daria Patent Pump. The 55 mm base and vamp curved into a sharp toe, bringing a sharpened edge to the outfit. The shoes also featured a thin ankle strap and a 160 mm pyramid-shaped heel that expanded into a square base. Available at Saks Fifth Avenue, the Daria Patent Pump retails for $300.

King previously wore the same shoes for a different engagement with Variety, taking part in an Actors on Actors interview with “Kissing Booth” co-star Taylor Zakhar Perez earlier this year. For that occasion, the versatile heels were paired with a black Dolce & Gabbana outfit.
