For the occasion, King opted for power suiting with a feminine touch in a design by Marc Bouwer. The longtime journalist wore a chocolatey jumpsuit with a coordinated blazer. The jumpsuit of King’s ensemble featured wide-leg pants. The bodice included a plunging, angular neckline with a cinched waist, thanks to a satin belted element that offered definition to the silhouette of King’s look.

King’s jumpsuit was paired with a coordinated, single-breasted blazer with angular pockets, a sharp collar and defined lapels. King’s blazer also included contrasting fabric elements on the lapels, collar and pockets, creating sartorial tension opposite the velvet fabric.
