Here Are 10 Versatile Fashion Looks By Keke Palmer That You Can Recreate
So boom. It's the weekend, you're staring into your closet at the copious amounts of clothes you've accumulated but have worn less times than you can count on one hand and your first thought is: sh*t. I have absolutely nothing to wear this weekend. Clothes are the first impression people have of you, so it's understandable that women are especially particular when it comes to choosing an outfit to slay the day. Whether it be Sunday brunch or a Saturday night on the town with your girls, what you wear is a reflection of who you are and you deserve to look as dope as you feel.
“Style icon" is not a phrase that should be thrown around lightly, but young starlets like Ryan Destiny, Yara Shahidi, and Keke Palmer are well on their way to being legends in the fashion world. Keke, who was recently promoted to permanent host on the new Sara & Strahan show, is living out her dreams in the best way and looks damn good while doing it, and we here at xoNecole demand that we give her all of the things.
If you're stuck when it comes to what you want to rock on this weekend's adventure, take a page out of this 26-year-old entertainer's book and boss your look all the way up. Here are 10 fly looks Keke served us that you can recreate with a few staple pieces and a whole lot of confidence:
Keke was looking back to school ready in this simple yet vibrant fit, which can be recreated with shorts, a dope button down, and your favorite pair of Chucks.
A t-shirt and a blazer is perfect for pretty much any adult weekend activity, allowing you to look hella chill but ready for a check at all times. Add a funky heel for optimum flavor.
Pantsuits are all fun and games until you're butt naked in the bathroom at your favorite restaurant, but nevertheless, we persist. Beauty is pain, and this olive one-piece is worth it all.
Fall is upon us, which means that Winter is coming. But really, is there ever really a bad time to rock fur-like textures? This image of Keke Palmer rocking a shag coat with matching pumps proves that question was rhetorical.
Monochromatic outfits may be an old school trend, but the gag is, it never really went out of style. Keke rocks this khaki and jean combination with the kind of style and grace Biggie used to rap about.
Last year at New York Fashion Week, Keke kept it simple and cute with this easily recreated ensemble that makes denim look classy AF.
Patterns, and colors, and contrast, oh my! This look can be created by pairing your favorite mini dress with a pair of vibrant heeled sandals and matching hair clips.
Keke knows where's she's going, and she'll never forget where she comes from. That's why we can't get enough of this blazer and air forces combination that will let everyone know you're not a business man, you're a business, man.
A cool denim on denim look might be everything your Instagram feed didn't know it needed. Switch up this otherwise monochromatic look by incorporating flashy colors, fun patterns, and eye-catching accessories.
A cropped sweater and pleated skirt are a power duo when it comes to transitioning from summer to fall. Giving you the best of both worlds, this outfit is perfect for fickle weather.

It Girl In Motion: Paige Shari Addison Shows Us Why She's The Hostess With The Mostess
Paige Shari Addison is the epitome of an ItGirl, which is why she is one of 100 ladies on xoNecole's inaugural ItGirl 100 list in partnership with Hyundai. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Paige started her journey as a host in high school by hosting parties. Since then, she has made a career in hosting, from parties to big-name events, and she launched Strictly RNB, a platform for new artists and R&B lovers. Paige reflects on her creative path in the limited video series "ItGirl in Motion."
“My first curated event at Criminal Records was incredible. It was all for up-and-coming artists,” she says. “I needed a platform for us as a collective to be able to give ourselves the platform instead of asking for it, instead of looking for it. I was like, I want to make sure I let people get this experience that I would give as a performer but enjoy the experience with them. It was a dream come true.”
The Atlanta native also has her own line of acai bowls called Soulfull Bowls. She started it during the pandemic after events and parties shut down. But it was her love for eating acai bowls and the reactions others had to them that made her want to make it her next business move. Being open to creating new ventures in the midst of uncertainty is a bold move and one of the reasons why Paige has the “it” factor.
“Being an ItGirl means you’re just authentic. There’s an air to us. We have confidence that exudes from the way we speak, the way we put our lip gloss on, the way we walk, the way we talk. I show up as myself everytime I walk into a room. I’m hospitable, I make sure everybody’s good,” she says.
Get to know more about the hostess with the mostess in the video above.
