Keke Palmer's press tour style streak [1] continues. The actor turned heads in a black strapless gown at the Berlin premiere of her film "Nope" [2] on July 26. Her dress featured a prominent thigh slit that revealed the entire length of her left leg and was embellished with mirrored plexiglass pieces arranged to resemble a tire track. She kept her accessories relatively low-key, finishing her look with jeweled ankle-strap sandals, diamond earrings, white eyeliner, and waist-length box braids.
Palmer's daring dress hails from David Koma's pre-fall 2022 collection, which the star also repped for her recent Glamour magazine cover story [3]. The range includes a wealth of edgy designs featuring flame motifs, crystal crocodiles, and the aforementioned tire-track pattern.
Thigh-grazing slits have been a popular red carpet choice among celebrities this year — see: Lizzo [4], Selena Gomez [5], and Ciara [6] — but Palmer's take on the trend is perhaps the most extreme we've seen yet. She similarly went all in on the low-rise skirt trend in a Marc Jacobs getup [7] at the "Nope" premiere in Los Angeles earlier this month. Other memorable looks from her recent press tour include the sheer metallic Prada dress [8] she wore on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [9]," the sparkly Prabal Gurung mini dress she wore on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen," and the lime-green Christopher John Rogers separates she wore on the "Today" show.
