Keke Palmer is seeing red — and very much in the literal sense of the word. The actor and decided to fully embrace the ruby colour for a recent screening of One of Them Days, and the result is one of the most impressive colour-coordinating efforts we have seen to date.
On January 8, 2025, Palmer travelled to Atlanta, Georgia, to speak on a panel during a screening of the upcoming film, which also stars SZA and premieres Jan. 17. She made sure to dazzle during the event by wearing the most colourful outfit on stage.
For the occasion, Palmer opted for a little red dress featuring a draped one-shoulder neckline with ruched detailing on the side that cascaded into a godet skirt. She paired the dress, which we can best describe as a modern interpretation of the dancer emoji's ‘fit, with a pair of pointed patent leather pumps with delicate straps around her ankles. Instead of a full-on matching moment, Palmer's shoewear of choice featured a slightly darker scarlet shade, giving the look more dimension.
On the beauty side, Palmer stuck to the red colour palette, opting for a stunning matte red lip and the copper ‘do she had debuted days prior via Instagram styled in a low chignon with a ’90s-esque single tendril framing the right side of her face. The only element of her glam and fashion that did not feature a coordinating red shade was her nails; instead, she went for a light, slightly iridescent pink and a classic almond shape.
Nailing a colour-coordinated look without fully going the monochrome route might seem easy on paper, but it's tough to pull off, and Keke Palmer does it effortlessly. With the new year in full swing, it seems like celebs are set on finding their “it” colour these days. Not only did Palmer give red her stamp of approval, but BLACKPINK's Jisoo also fully leaned into pink with a sweet and cosy outfit that coordinated pink knits and makeup. Now, who will dare to go for last year's reigning colour and give us a full-green moment?
