Keke Palmer Gets Candid About Her Ultimate Fashion Regret
Keke Palmer has never been one to shy away from a bold fashion or beauty statement, but even a style icon has looks they’d rather forget. In a recent “Actually Me” video segment with GQ, the multi-talented star took a trip down memory lane and didn’t hesitate to expose the one look she now considers her “most embarrassing.”
While answering questions from her real social media accounts, Palmer was asked about the most embarrassing thing she’s ever done. Her mind immediately went to a specific red carpet moment from her past.
“Look up the pictures of me at Comic-Con,” she said, referring to her 2016 appearance in San Diego to promote the series Scream Queens.
The ‘Mortal Kombat’ Look
For those who followed her style back then, the look is unforgettable. For those who haven’t seen it, Palmer painted a vivid picture.
“I look like a Mortal Kombat character. Hair shaved all around, I have one braid. One singular braid,” Palmer recalled with a laugh. She even joked about the people around her at the time, adding, “The fact that the girls never told me to look in a mirror… They hated me secretly.”
The style was certainly a statement, featuring an edgy, futuristic vibe that captured the bold energy of the era. However, looking back, Palmer can only laugh at her audacious choice.
Fierce, Unafraid, and Fashion
Though the look might make her cringe today, Palmer gave her past self credit for the confidence it took to pull it off. She found some positive takeaways from the memorable fashion moment.
“She was bold, she was fierce, she was unafraid, she was fashion,” Palmer said, breaking into laughter. “Whatever look I was down for, I went full throttle.”
A New Hair Era
However, it seems her days of drastic style experimentation might be on hold, at least when it comes to her hair. Palmer declared her love for her current look, a vibrant copper color she debuted earlier this year.
“Imma let y’all know today, I’m never letting this copper go,” she stated firmly. “She’s not leaving.”
