Keke Palmer has always been That Girl. But with her latest look, she has fully entered her It Girl era. The actor-singer-podcaster-producer is currently promoting her latest film, Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters, a wild shoplifting comedy, and its retail milieu means the press tour is a chance to play around with some exciting fits. And oh, she’s playing around.
On May 18, Palmer stepped out in New York City wearing so many 2000s trends she could have come straight out of a glamorous time machine. The soft pink makeup is a little Destiny’s Child, the space buns are a tad Spice Girls, and the magenta side-tie blouse is the Going Out Top of our dreams. Add in her hoops, the floral cute clips, metallic shoes, and stack of bangles on each arm, and Palmer is ready to party.
But the real piece de trandaissance is the jeans. My first thought? Lizzie McGuire would have killed for those jeans. You remember the episode.
