Joey King in Dark Teal Satin Miu Miu at the Academy Museum Gala

Joey King took the best colour of the night at the 2026 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles: a dark teal duchesse satin Miu Miu gown, strapless, with black tulle opera gloves and black satin platforms. Satin this heavy stands on its own, which is why the gloves work: they are the only soft thing in the picture. Below, why it works and the evening dresses on BranSpot that get you there.

The look

Just Jared and Bustle logged it as Miu Miu, dark teal duchesse satin, worn with black tulle gloves and black satin platform shoes (Just Jared, Bustle). Duchesse satin has body: it holds a shape rather than draping, so the gown reads architectural, and the dark teal is the one jewel colour that photographs like black without being black. The gloves are the Miu Miu wink, a little prom, a little Old Hollywood.

How to wear it

Miu Miu is in our network with well over a thousand pieces, though not this gown. The formula is heavy satin in a dark jewel tone, strapless, plus black gloves. Aidan Mattox's duchess satin strapless is the exact fabric; Miss Circle's Ivona corset gown is the dramatic version, and the same house makes the lace opera gloves. A black satin platform pump finishes it the way she did.
