Keke Palmer attended the Los Angeles LGBT Center Gala on Saturday night in Los Angeles. The actress received the Vanguard Award, which recognized her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community.
Palmer wore a crystal-embellished blazer gown by Simkhai. Emily Ratajkowski modeled a shorter version of the dress during the designer’s fall 2023 presentation at New York Fashion Week.

Palmer paired the garment with black high-heeled sandals, also encrusted with rhinestones. The actress also added on a diamond choker and hoop earrings.
Hairstylist Miles Jeffries crafted Palmer’s sleek slicked-back look. Jeffries has also worked with A-listers like Paris Jackson, Zaya Wade and “Outer Banks” star Madison Bailey, who was also in attendance at the gala.
For makeup, Palmer opted for a grey smokey eye with sparkly inner corners, as well as a glossy brown lip.

Later in the evening, “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown presented Palmer with the Vanguard Award. The actress spoke candidly about struggling to define herself. “I’ve always been my own person, and sexuality and identity, for me, it’s always been confusion,” said Palmer. “I never felt straight enough; I never felt gay enough; I never felt woman enough; I never felt man enough. I always felt like I was a little bit of everything.”
“There is no greater masterpiece than living your truth,” she continued.
