Keke Palmer meant business at the second annual Academy Museum Gala.
Arriving at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Palmer wore a black long-sleeved suit and thin drop earrings. The “Nope” star’s piece featured pointed lapels, worn sans top for a “topless” appearance. However, giving her Wayman and Micah-styled outfit a whimsical finish were swirls of ruffled cobalt blue tulle, attached to the blazer’s bodice to create a flared burst of drama.

When it came to footwear, Palmer’s outfit was complete with black leather pumps. Her pointed-toe style featured a sharp base with triangular toes, as well as a ruched texture that mimicked the vertical pleats in her suit’s tulle accents. Though her footwear’s heels were not visible, the pair likely included stiletto heels totaling 3-4 inches in height, similarly to the style’s traditional silhouette and styles Palmer has worn in the past.
