Keke Palmer Balances Archival Versace With Spring 2026 Valentino
Keke Palmer had a busy few days promoting two very different projects. She attended the Spaceballs: The New One panel at San Diego Comic-Con ahead of the film’s April 2027 release, before making a guest appearance on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, where she discussed her new scripted audio series, The Confession.

Keke wouldn’t be Keke without at least one archival pull, and this time she turned once again to a label she frequently revisits: Versace. She wore a Spring 1993 look featuring a bustier top with sheer sleeves – previously worn by Miley Cyrus – and a pair of high-waisted polka-dot jeans.
There are times when Keke’s archival choices look unmistakably rooted in the decade they came from, but this one feels surprisingly relevant today. Between the resurgence of statement denim, lingerie-inspired dressing and playful prints, the look could easily pass for something fresh off a contemporary runway. It strikes that sweet spot where vintage fashion doesn’t rely on nostalgia alone; it simply works for right now.

For the occasion, she wore a Valentino Spring 2026 ruched mini dress accented with oversized bows. We’ve seen this design several times already (Hailey Bieber and Kirsten Dunst) with Kate Hudson opting to wear it as a top, but never in this vibrant coral shade, which felt like the perfect choice alongside her copper-red hair.
As someone who has never been the biggest fan of Valentino Garavani Rockstud pumps, I have to admit this is the first time they’ve really worked for me. Keke has exactly the kind of confidence needed to sell them. Too often, those shoes have been paired with looks where they feel out of place, but I’m not feeling that here. A Valentino Garavani Panthea bag completed the look.
Stylist: Molly Dickson.
