Fresh off her restful babymoon [1] with boyfriend Darius Jackson [2], Keke Palmer is back to work. On Jan. 4, the "Nope" [3] star attended the 2023 New York Film Critics Circle Awards in NYC, marking her first red carpet event since announcing her pregnancy [4] on "Saturday Night Live [5]." Wearing a silver maxi dress embellished with illuminating sequins from Michael Kors Collection, 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 [6] on her rib cage. Palmer, who worked with styling duo Wayman and Micah [7] to curate her look, accessorized with matching silver Giuseppe Zanotti platforms and a dainty assortment of jewelry from Lorraine West including a choker, earrings, and rings. Her sparkly appearance comes a day after she was spotted in another flattering dress at a "Nope" Q&A [8] in NYC. On Jan. 3, 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 [9]. During the Dec. 3 episode, Palmer wore a monochromatic brown ensemble from Sportmax, consisting of a trench coat and cargo pants. 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 [10] as a fashion chameleon [11], it's safe to assume there are more striking maternity outfits to come. See more photos of the KeyTV [12] founder's latest red carpet look ahead.
