The Owens Girls Are All Grown Up In Practical Magic 2, & Joey King’s Sheer Lace Dress Was Magical
There’s been a lot of talk about the upcoming sequel Practical Magic 2 over the last year or so. A lot of the original cast is coming back, including Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest. However, the younger women in the Owens clan are all grown up now and Alexandra Artrip and Evan Rachel Wood were replaced by Joey King and Maisie Williams. They stepped out together for an event this week, and King particularly looked magical in a sheer lace dress.
Both King and Williams have been coordinating a fair amount ahead of Practical Magic 2. We’ve seen King in several sheer varieties, and she didn’t disappoint earlier this week when she wore a black lace halter dress with a sweet bow near the neckline. Williams also chose a creamy lace skirt and polka dot top for the panel Teen Vogue Fest put on in Brooklyn. Take a look.
The recastings of Sally’s two daughters have been a notable topic of conversation since they were announced, particularly given Evan Rachel Wood is still a well-known and solid actress in her own right. However, she’s 38 at this point, and it seems the movie wanted to go younger for the romantic storylines. (Although I do think it’s probably worth pointing out Bullock was in her mid-thirties when the last movie filmed.) No one’s upset with King or Williams for landing the gigs, either way, and I’m excited to see what both actresses bring to the table.

For her part, King’s been wearing a lot of black and lace in the celebrity fashion realm lately. She did so for a Marilyn Monroe event back in May. She did it again while out with Maisie Williams on July 24th. I’m assuming this may continue to be her color palate as the actual movie press ramps up and I don’t hate it. It has that witchy, gothic ‘90s vibe the original movie also inhabits.
We’ve already gotten excited about this movie thanks to the trailer and the equally magical set moments the main cast shared. For a long time, a sequel to Griffin Dunne’s original movie was something fans often talked about, but it didn’t become a reality until 2024, when Kidman herself confirmed the movie was in development. She may have felt the whole thing was a little “insane,” but it’s coming and it will be one of those cozy Halloween premises hitting theaters just before spooky season on September 11th.
Between Spider-Man: Brand New Day coming this weekend and Practical Magic 2 coming in just a few weeks, there’s a lot to look forward to in the way of upcoming 2026 movie release sequels. Plus, there’s plenty of enchanting stuff still on the way later this year.
