For the intimate conversation, King opted for a look that played with shape and buckle accessories. The “If Beale Street Could Talk” actress wore a Nanushka maxidress with a thigh-high slit and buckle detail on the bodice.

King’s dress was a light gray with stud detailing on the bottom hem and two buckles on the top left side. She paired the sleeveless dress with sheer black tights and black lace-up combat boots to complete the look.

For her glam and accessories, King styled her black curls in a tousled updo with a thick black headband. She wore silver hoop earrings and chose a clean makeup style to complete the look.

Although her film debuted on Netflix in March, King has spent the last several months discussing “Shirley.” While promoting the film in March 2024, King joined Jimmy Kimmel for the eponymous talk show host’s late-night show.

For her appearance, King chose an ivory sleeveless minidress from Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini. The dress featured stretched draping and ruched detailing throughout. She completed the look with delicate jewelry and pointed-toe statement heels.
