Joey King brought a quiet kind of drama to Wimbledon—her Ralph Lauren charmeuse dress whispered of old-world elegance, with just enough modern bite to keep things interesting.
There’s something about Wimbledon that demands restraint—linen suits, polite applause, strawberries and cream. And then there’s Joey King, who arrived on Day 13 of the tournament with a look that felt like a masterclass in controlled opulence.
Wearing the Ralph Lauren Collection Sienna Washed Charmeuse Day Dress, King leaned into the brand’s heritage of American refinement, but with a twist. The halter neckline and racerback silhouette gave the dress a sculptural edge, while the ruched side seams and triple-needle topstitching added a touch of utilitarian grit. The washed satin charmeuse fabric caught the London light like a memory—soft, fluid, and quietly luminous.
Her accessories were equally deliberate. The Ralph Calfskin Small Shoulder Bag, debuted on the Spring 2025 runway, nodded to vintage automotive design with its burl wood handle and saddle calfskin body. It’s a bag that doesn’t shout, but hums with craftsmanship. On her feet: the Alexandrea MM Burnished Sandal, a 35-mm lace-up style in RL Gold, hand-braided and tassel-tipped—a subtle echo of the dress’s ruched lines.
Jewelry came courtesy of Tessa Metcalfe, whose “Pearl of London” ring in Tiger’s Eye, silver, and gold nailsadded a surrealist punctuation. Metcalfe’s work, often cast from pigeon claws and urban detritus, brings a kind of poetic grime to the table—perfect for offsetting the polish of Ralph Lauren.
