Keke Palmer captivates on the red carpet at the Film Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles, donning a vintage butter-yellow Dior halter dress.
The 32-year-old actress showcases the low-cut, knee-length gown that highlights her figure and reveals her toned back in the backless design. She pairs the outfit with matching pointed-toe Christian Louboutin heels and subtle jewelry, including stud earrings, a necklace, bracelets, and multiple rings.
Elegant Styling Details
Palmer styles her golden-highlighted pixie cut into soft waves, completing the look with full makeup featuring fluttery lashes and pink lipstick.
Nomination and Red Carpet Wisdom
Nominated for Best Lead Performance in the 2025 film One of Them Days, Palmer shares insights on the red carpet. “You should always have an independent spirit,” she states. “Take inspiration from influences around you, family, friends, or people that inspire you, but it’s about you and your point of view. You’ve got to always champion that above all else.”
Social Media Moments
From her seat, Palmer engages on social media, resharing posts from director Lawrence Lamont and producer Issa Rae. Lamont posts a selfie: “Look who’s sitting next to me at the @FilmIndependent Awards. Wish us luck! @keke.” Rae captures the table: “ONE OF THEM DAYS Squad.”
On-Stage Presentation
Palmer takes the stage at the Hollywood Palladium to present the Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series award to Erin Doherty for Adolescence.
