Keke Palmer Wore Roberto Cavalli Promoting ‘Just Keke’

The flame red hair is back and blazing, but Keke Palmer’s real power move today in New York City was her devotion to the archives. Spotted out promoting her new visual album Just Keke, dropping this Friday, the actress gave us a masterclass in turning chaotic fashion energy into a full-on street style moment.

Wearing a head-turning look from Roberto Cavalli’s Fall 2001 collection, Keke fully embraced the designer’s unapologetic Y2K maximalism—back when Cavalli didn’t know the meaning of “dial it down.” I was obsessed with this era—and let’s be real, I still am.

The mixed-media moto-style jacket is a hotbed of era-defining details—distressed tie-dye denim, leopard print panels, and raw deconstructed edges. It’s untamed, deliberate, and fabulous. Underneath, the patchwork mini dress added to the visual overload in all the right ways, continuing the print clash with zero regard for minimalism.

This was early 2000s glam grunge done right—equal parts biker, boho, and bombshell. You could easily picture this on Beyonce, Shakira or Britney Spears back in the day. But there’s something about Keke revisiting this Cavalli chaos in 2025 that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Giving the archives a new lease on life.

An orange Gucci GG motif bag and denim patchwork platforms from Dolce & Gabbana brought even more layers (literally) to the look. It’s extra, it’s bold, it’s Keke—and I wouldn’t change a single thing.

Stylist: Molly Dickson.
