Lauren Keyana “Keke” Palmer has been America’s Sweetheart since birth, 32 years ago today. The child actress’s stardom was first recognized in 2004 (at age 10) from her role in Barbershop 2: Back in Business, just before her career took off after landing a lead in Akeelah and the Bee and Madea’s Family Reunion (2006). Since then, we’ve seen her in a number of films and television series, from Jordan Peele’s Nope to horror series Scream Queens, turning Palmer into a face we could never forget.
With a cheeky smile to compliment her roles and humor, the A-list celebrity is of course known for her trendsetting beauty looks, too. At the 2021 Met Gala, Palmer hosted (and went viral) in an elongated smokey eye and ‘70s bouffant blowout which channeled Diana Ross. Then, two years later, she revisited the look at the 2023 Met. That time, her hair was combed back and ends flipped for a touch of ‘60s “Old Hollywood” glamour.
Returning to current trends, the 28th Annual Webby Awards saw the actress in a full-bodied black wig with champagne-studded nails and glittered eyeshadow. Meanwhile, a yellow sequin gown at the 2024 Pre-GRAMMY Gala looked best with a pinned updo, showing off burnt orange curls which overlaid her warm-toned beat. Claiming her stake once and for all, Palmer reawakened beauty at the 2024 Met Gala in a foot-tall ponytail with sequins cascading from her face to the base of her hair, reminding us just how ethereal she is.
Below, take a look at 9 times Keke Palmer proved her beauty is just as demure as it is cheeky.
