Fresh off her restful babymoon [1] with boyfriend Darius Jackson [2], Keke Palmer is back to work. On 4 Jan., the "Nope" [3] star attended the 2023 New York Film Critics Circle Awards, marking her first red carpet event since announcing her pregnancy on "Saturday Night Live [4]." Wearing a silver maxi dress embellished with illuminating sequins, the 29-year-old actor cradled her growing baby bump.
The eye-catching gown incorporated super-skinny straps and side cutouts that drew attention to the massive floral tattoo [5] on her rib cage. Palmer, who's worked with styling duo Wayman and Micah [6] to curate her recent looks, accessorised with matching silver platforms and a dainty assortment of jewellery including a necklace, bracelet, and earrings. Her sparkly appearance comes a day after she was spotted in another flattering dress at a "Nope" Q&A [7] in New York. On 3 Jan., she wore a knit lavender maxi with a halter neckline and keyhole cutout, which she paired with a boxy trench coat.
The multihyphenate planned quite the stylish pregnancy reveal during her "SNL" hosting debut [8]. During the 3 Dec. episode, Palmer wore a monochromatic brown ensemble from Sportmax, consisting of a trench coat and cargo bottoms. In the middle of her opening monologue, she opened the outerwear to unveil her bump in a cropped fitted blouse.
Considering Palmer's experimental style [9] as a fashion chameleon [10], it's safe to assume there are more striking maternity outfits to come. See more photos of the KeyTV [11] founder's latest red carpet look ahead.
