It doesn't matter if Keke Palmer is dropping by a podcast, hosting the Met Gala red carpet, or working the TV talk show circuit to promote her newest movie. (Right now, it's the buddy comedy One of Them Days.) She's as charismatic offscreen as she is in the roles she plays—and the central reference for her latest press tour outfits says she knows it.
Dressing for back-to-back-to-back interviews in the likes of Stella McCartney, Chloé, and vintage Dolce & Gabbana, Palmer wanted to channel a beloved style icon her way. "Keke actually sent me a bunch of references and sent me a mood board when I first started working with her," stylist Zoe Costello tells me hours after a 4:30 A.M. fitting for another of Palmer's TV spots. "She had some amazing references of Princess Diana."
