You could swear these images show the same actress, but they don’t: the woman on the right is Joey King, and the one on the left is Sadie Sink.
Joey King, an American actress and model known for The Kissing Booth and for playing Gypsy-Rose Blanchard in The Act, walked the London red carpet with copper-colored hair that no one expected.
The actress presented her upcoming film, Practical Magic 2 at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square wearing a beautiful sheer Miu Miu dress, but it was her face that ultimately drew all the attention.
Many insisted that Joey had never looked better. But there was one puzzling detail: her striking resemblance to Sadie Sink, one of the stars of Stranger Things. The big eyes, angular face, small nose, and now the same hair color were enough to make some users look at the photographs twice.
“I really thought it was Sadie Sink”, one person wrote on Reddit. Another confessed that they watched part of the trailer convinced that the star of Stranger Things appeared in the film. Meanwhile, others speculated — without any confirmation — about possible alterations to her face.
The comparison soon gave way to more malicious theories: some wondered whether Joey had deliberately tried to imitate Sadie’s image.
The suspicion gained momentum just as Sadie is experiencing one of the high points of her career. After entering the Marvel universe and recently becoming the face of Calvin Klein’s worldwide “Feel the Fit” jeans campaign. With her red hair having practically become a signature, some believe Joey may have been inspired by one of the most sought-after actresses of the moment.
The verifiable explanation, however, is far less conspiratorial: Joey dyed her hair copper in 2025, specifically to play her character in Practical Magic 2. “
Everything else belongs to the speculative realm of the internet: looking at two photographs, finding a resemblance, and building an entire theory around it.
