Joey King embraced a softer kind of fantasy dressing at the European premiere of Practical Magic 2 in London, wearing a custom butter-yellow Miu Miu look styled by Jared Eng. The ensemble centered on a long, sheer dress layered over a matching bra and underwear set, with delicate details that gave the outfit a distinctly garden-inspired mood.
Rather than leaning heavily into the witchy imagery associated with the film, the look took a lighter approach. The pale-yellow color, floral embellishments, ruffles and flowing proportions created the impression of a modern garden fairy, while the sheer construction and visible Miu Miu branding kept the outfit grounded in contemporary fashion.
A Sheer Miu Miu Dress Does the Heavy Lifting
The centerpiece was a custom butter-yellow Miu Miu dress with a floor-length sheer skirt. According to Harper's Bazaar, the outer layer featured dainty puff sleeves and ruffle trim, while gathers at the sides added fullness to the silhouette.
Floral embellishments ran down the front of the dress, introducing the most obvious botanical element. Against the restrained yellow palette, the details provided texture and visual interest without taking away from the dress's soft, flowing shape.
The transparency was also an important part of the styling. Underneath the sheer outer layer, King wore a coordinating yellow Miu Miu bra and matching underwear, making the foundation visible rather than concealing it beneath an additional opaque layer.

The lingerie brought a sharper contrast to the otherwise delicate ensemble. A bold black Miu Miu logo appeared on the set, creating a graphic detail against the pastel yellow and preventing the look from becoming entirely tonal.
That combination is what makes the outfit feel more fashion-focused than costume-like. The floral elements and soft color establish the fairy-garden mood, while the visible logo and sheer construction give the look a distinctly modern edge.
The Styling Keeps the Look Light
King completed the ensemble with pointed-toe heels featuring asymmetrical straps. The streamlined shoes allowed the elaborate dress to remain the focus, rather than introducing another prominent decorative element.
The proportions also help define the look. The fitted elements underneath the dress contrast with the loose, floor-skimming outer layer, while the puff sleeves and ruffles add small moments of volume. Together, the details create a silhouette that feels delicate without relying on overtly fantastical styling.
The garden-fairy quality is therefore less about any single element than the way the pieces are combined. Butter yellow establishes the soft color story, floral embellishments bring in the botanical reference, and the sheer layers create the lightness associated with the aesthetic.
At the same time, the outfit remains recognizably Miu Miu. The visible branding, lingerie-inspired foundation and polished footwear prevent the romantic details from becoming overly literal.
A More Subtle Kind of Fantasy Dressing
King's look works particularly well through that balance. It borrows familiar visual cues associated with gardens and fairytales—flowers, soft color, flowing fabric and delicate volume—without turning them into a literal costume.
That makes "garden fairy" a useful description of the overall effect rather than a claim about the designer's intention. The look demonstrates how a handful of restrained details can establish a strong fashion mood without requiring an elaborate theme.
For a premiere connected to a supernatural film, King could have taken the more obvious route with darker colors or overtly witchy references. Instead, the custom Miu Miu ensemble offered something gentler: a sheer butter-yellow dress, matching lingerie, floral embellishments and streamlined accessories brought together into a romantic red-carpet look.
The result is garden-fairy dressing with a luxury-fashion finish that's whimsical in its details, but carefully controlled in its execution.
