Joey King addresses facelift speculation before Met Gala

Joey King has finally addressed the speculation surrounding her appearance at the Met Gala after fans began wondering whether the actress had undergone a facelift. The Hollywood star has now set the record straight, explaining that she did not have any cosmetic surgery before stepping onto the prestigious red carpet.

The Kissing Booth actress discussed the rumors during a recent podcast appearance, where she openly responded to questions about the noticeable changes in her appearance. King revealed that her beauty preparations were so effective that many people assumed she had undergone a cosmetic procedure.

“I didn’t get a facelift,” King said while addressing the speculation.

The actress also appeared amused by the widespread discussion and said she was happy to finally talk about the rumors. She firmly denied claims that she had undergone plastic surgery specifically for her Met Gala appearance.

“Just want to let you know, didn’t get work done, didn’t get a facelift,” she explained.

Instead, King revealed that she relied on several beauty and wellness treatments to prepare for the major fashion event. According to the actress, one of the key changes she made was getting a spray tan before the Met Gala.

She also revealed that she went through a period of fasting before the event. King said she completed a 36-hour fast during which she consumed only water. However, she was quick to clarify that she does not recommend this approach to others.

The actress explained that she had been feeling particularly swollen after attending a bachelorette party over the weekend. She admitted that she had been drinking a lot and felt that her appearance needed a reset before the major event.

King said she initially considered doing a shorter fast but eventually followed a longer period of fasting. While discussing her preparation, she acknowledged that fasting is not something everyone should attempt and stressed the importance of being healthy enough before considering such practices.

In addition to the spray tan and fasting, King revealed that she also received a lymphatic massage and a facial treatment shortly before appearing at the Met Gala.

The actress said her team was doing everything possible to make sure she looked her best on the red carpet. The combination of treatments and preparation apparently made a major difference, as fans quickly noticed the transformation and began speculating that she had undergone plastic surgery.

King joked that the preparations had clearly worked because so many people believed she had gotten cosmetic work done.

Her comments have now put an end to the facelift rumors and offered fans an explanation for the changes they noticed in her appearance. Rather than undergoing surgery, King said her red carpet look was the result of temporary beauty treatments and careful preparation.

The actress has continued to attract attention both for her work and her evolving style. Her recent Met Gala appearance marked her second consecutive appearance at the prestigious fashion event, where she once again became a topic of conversation among fans.

King is also preparing for the release of Practical Magic 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1998 fantasy film. She stars alongside Hollywood heavyweights Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in the upcoming project.

In the sequel, King and Maisie Williams portray the daughters of Bullock’s character, Sally Owens. The new cast members take over the roles as the story returns to the world of the Owens family.

While promoting the highly anticipated film, King has also found herself making headlines over her Met Gala transformation. Her latest comments, however, make it clear that there was no facelift behind the dramatic change that sparked so much online speculation.
