At the time, she walked a red carpet in a white Alessandra Rich minidress that had a deep-V neckline and short, puffed sleeves attached to longer, see-through ones made from lace.

"The Kissing Booth" star's look also included ruffles, a black bow, and dark heels.

Weeks before her show "The Act" was released on Hulu, King attended a Teen Vogue party in a buzzed hairstyle and black overalls made entirely from leather.

But what made the outfit edgier was the fact that King opted not to wear a shirt underneath her outer layer. She also ditched bold makeup and accessories.

Her Yanina Couture gown — which had a plunging neckline that reached her stomach — appeared strapless thanks to its sharp, black design.

But atop the gown was a see-through, mesh overlay that held the dress up. The latter piece also had long sleeves and a white embroidery that created images of people dancing.

The actor took a more colorful approach to her daring style in March of that year.

King's accessory of choice — a mini Jacquemus bag — was arguably as daring as her outfit.

King wore one of her most unique outfits to date in October 2019.
