  • EJ Johnson attended the "They Call Me Magic" premiere on Thursday in Los Angeles.
  • Johnson, 29, wore a Tom Ford gown while posing with dad Magic Johnson and family.

EJ Johnson stunned in a sparkling, silver gown and thigh-high boots while attending the premiere of "They Call Me Magic" with his father, Magic Johnson, and their family.

The Johnson family arrived in style on the red carpet Thursday in Los Angeles, California.

In particular, EJ dazzled in a sequined silver gown that featured a plunging neckline and high slit. He paired the Tom Ford dress with black thigh-high boots, a black clutch, and XIV Karats jewelry, according to an Instagram post EJ shared on Friday.

EJ's outfit seemed to compliment his father's ensemble, which included a gray suit jacket and black slacks.

EJ praised his father in an Instagram post following the premiere.

"So proud and excited for the world to witness even more of your glory @magicjohnson you constantly astound and astonish me with your intelligence, wit, and greatness," EJ wrote. "You are worthy of this and all the universe has in store for you."

Magic's other children, Elisa and Andre, were also in attendance alongside his wife, Cookie Johnson.

Representatives for EJ Johnson did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

"They Call Me Magic" is a four-part documentary that will focus on Magic's iconic basketball career as well as his global impact both on and off the court. The docuseries series premieres April 22 on Apple TV+.

In an April 6 interview with Variety's Selome Hailu, Magic spoke about learning to accept EJ's sexuality after he came out in 2010.

"When you grow up in team sports, you're thinking, 'Is he gonna play sports?'" Johnson told Variety. "And then when I saw that he liked dolls and to play dress-up … 'What are you doing?'"

Magic told Variety that they experienced a falling out before EJ went to college, but they've since reconciled their relationship.

"A lot of people don't love that I love my son," Magic continued. "He changed me. He was so proud. This dude here is just so proud of who he is."
