The first photos from New York Fashion Week are here, with Keke Palmer looking pretty in pink in a slinky backless dress for Brandon Maxwell’s Fall 2025 show. Palmer put her best foot forward, making a sizzling appearance at the fashion brand’s latest presentation on Thursday to kick off NYFW. According to WWD, the star sat front row with Jenna Lyons, known for the “Real Housewives of New York City,” and fashion designer Aurora James. That same day, Palmer also lit up the Empire State Building in honor of Black History Month in another stunning outfit.
Keke Palmer attends Brandon Maxwell Fall 2025 show in chic backless dress
Keke Palmer embraced her inner Barbie — quite literally — in a chic backless dress for Brandon Maxwell’s Fall 2025 in NYFW photos. She stunned in a show-stopping, slinky satin dress with a cowl neckline and backless design, looking as gorgeous as ever on Thursday. WWD mentioned that the outfit Palmer wore for the fashion brand’s latest presentation was from its Spring 2025 collection. Moreover, she showed exactly how to style it right, pairing it with silver earrings and open-toe heels in black.
The actor pulled off her attire with dramatic full-face makeup and gorgeous orangish-red hair. Her look highlighted her attractive features by incorporating smokey eyes, eyelash extensions, and bold pinkish lips that slightly complemented her outfit. It is also worth mentioning that Palmer likely worked with her longtime fashion stylist Zoe Costello, hair stylist Kira Dior, and makeup artist Kenya Alexis. Another viral Instagram video posted by Moh exhibited the actor layering her rather revealing dress with a formal grey coat.
Besides leaving her mark at the NYFW, photos and videos shared by the fan account kekeupdate showed Keke Palmer donning another body-hugging dress to light up the Empire State Building in honor of Black History Month. She wore the full-sleeved elegant outfit — again masterminded by Costello — with a ruched hemline and paired it with a fuzzy coat. Furthermore, Palmer sported black pointed-toe heels and appeared to be nailing a similar hairstyle and makeup as the one from her fashion show appearance.
