Joey King’s Bold Eyebrow Bleaching Experiment Sparks Hilarious Reaction from Mom

Joey King, the 25-year-old actress, recently bleached her eyebrows and documented her mom’s hilarious reaction to the bold beauty transformation on TikTok. In a makeup-free video posted on January 16th, King compared her newly bleached eyebrows to the Lorax’s mustache, acknowledging the unusual look.

King explained that her mother couldn’t bear to look at her, saying, “I just can’t look at you. You look so weird.” King playfully defended her experimentation, retorting, “Mom, that’s the point. The point is that I’m trying something different. I’m gonna dye them back but just let me have this.”

Fans overwhelmingly supported King’s eyebrow adventure in the comments section, with many praising her daring choice and sharing similar experiences with their own mothers. One fan commented, “Honestly I’m a huge fan of the blonde brows,” while another empathized, “My mom said the same thing to me they don’t get it.” Another admirer simply stated, “Joey you look fantastic.”

King initially unveiled her bleached eyebrows in an Instagram post on January 5th, captioning it with emojis hinting at the eyebrow-raising change. Despite some negative comments, fellow celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and Noah Cyrus enthusiastically endorsed the look, with Carpenter commenting, “rude to look this good without eyebrows,” and Cyrus proclaiming, “THIS IS YOUR LOOK.” Makeup artist Lilly Keys also chimed in with enthusiastic praise.

This isn’t the first time King has surprised fans with a dramatic beauty transformation. In May 2024, she initially led people to believe she had chopped her hair into a dramatic bob for the Cannes Film Festival. She later revealed it was a clever wig trick. Shortly after, she debuted freshly dyed blonde hair at the Paris premiere of Despicable Me 4.

Hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos revealed the secret behind the convincing faux bob, telling PEOPLE, “We used a high-quality, waist-length wig for the transformation. By cutting and styling the wig into a sleek bob, we achieved the dramatic change without any permanent commitment. It’s all about versatility and playing with different looks.” King continues to demonstrate her penchant for bold and playful experimentation with her appearance.
