Summary

- She clarified her altered look was due to a 36-hour fast and spray tan.

Actress Joey King recently debunked rumors of plastic surgery, specifically a facelift, following her appearance at the Met Gala in September 2026. Contrary to public speculation fueled by changes observed in her facial features, King clarified that no surgical procedures were involved.
Speaking on the 'In Your Dreams' podcast, King explained that her appearance was attributed to a combination of factors. She underwent a 36-hour fast, abstaining from food and consuming only water, alongside receiving a spray tan. This intense regimen was part of her efforts to look her best for the event.
Further elaborating on her preparation, King mentioned that she also engaged in a lymphatic massage for both her body and face, and had a facial treatment. She noted that her bachelor party activities prior to the Met Gala had left her feeling 'swollen,' prompting her to seek a 'reset.' These non-surgical interventions, including the fasting and massages, ultimately contributed to her distinct look, leading many to believe she had undergone cosmetic surgery.
