Keke Palmer Slays in Corset Dress, Snags Entertainer of the Year at NAACP Image Awards 2025
Keke Palmer just upped her game at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards, snagging the title of Entertainer of the Year while looking like a million bucks in a sizzling black corset mini dress from Versace’s AW24 collection. The 31-year-old star paired this eye-catching outfit with an embellished choker and strappy heels that had everyone talking—because let’s be real, who can look that good and just walk past without turning heads?
But the evening was more than just a fashion moment. Palmer, who also took home the award for Outstanding Host for her gig on NBC’s game show, Password, strutted onto the stage and proved she’s a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment world. Sporting long honey copper hair and a sultry red smoky eye, she was a vision of glam—completely on-brand for a night celebrating excellence in the Black community themed “Our Stories, Our Culture, Our Excellence.”
Palmer was not short of competition in the Entertainer of the Year category, going head-to-head with heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar and Cynthia Erivo. Yet with previous wins under her belt, including a Creative Arts Emmy for Best Game Show Host just months prior, it’s clear Palmer is just warming up.
Keke’s penchant for bold fashion isn’t new. Just earlier this month, she turned heads at New York Fashion Week in a chic baby pink dress, and shortly after made waves at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary party in a daring black halter dress. This girl is a style chameleon, and we’re here for it. She also rocked a Balmain gown at the American Black Film Festival Honors just a day after the NAACP awards—like, how does she do it?
On a personal note, when she’s not dazzling on the red carpet, Palmer is embracing motherhood wholeheartedly. She’s been busy celebrating her son Leo’s second birthday—which falls just a few days after the NAACP event—with a tribute that melts the heart. Talk about multi-tasking!
This awards season has been nothing short of a whirlwind for Keke Palmer, and we can’t wait to see what she pulls off next. With a now-growing list of accolades, stylish achievements, and a loving family, this star is shining brighter than ever!
