Joey King Felt Like a 'Scary Pediatrician' in 'Despicable Me' Premiere Dress

Joey King wore a mint green dress at the premiere of ‘Despicable Me 4’ on Sunday, June 9, which she said reminds her of a ‘scary pediatrician’

While “scary pediatrician” might not be the first term that springs to mind when describing her look, the structured silhouette and mint green color of King’s dress undeniably mimic the style of traditional hospital scrubs. King smiled and posed on the red carpet alongside the rest of the Despicable Me 4 cast, including Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Miranda Cosgrove, Kristen Wiig, Dana Gaier, Madison Polan and Chloe Fineman. King’s decision to label her premiere dress as “scary” makes sense in the context of her character, Poppy, an aspiring supervillain whose goal is to one day become a bigger villain than Gru himself.
