Keke Palmer Wows in Ferragamo Cold Shoulder Dress on ‘Jennifer Hudson’

Keke Palmer opted for sensual styling for her appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” in Burbank, Calif., on Friday. The actress, who is currently promoting her new film “One of Them Days,” chatted with the eponymous talk show host about 2025 trends and more.

For her daytime talk show appearance, Palmer opted for a jersey dress with sultry shoulder cutouts courtesy of Ferragamo. The actress wore the brand’s cold shoulder midi dress, which featured a plunging neckline with gold-tone bead detailing.

The dress, which Palmer wore in a shade of espresso, featured a halterneck styling and was crafted in a slinky jersey fabric for an extra touch of sultry edge. Palmer accentuated the gold tone elements of her Ferragamo dress by adding a chain belt at her hips.

She also wore strappy gold sandal heels by Rene Caovilla and accessorized with gold rings, a gold bracelet and gold earrings. As for her glam, Palmer’s hair was styled with voluminous red curls and her makeup featured a smokey eye, bold brows and a glossy lip.

During her time on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Palmer discussed some of 2025’s trends, a few of which were not fashion related, and rated them as “hot” or “not.” Among the trends were the popular starface pimple patches. “I’m here for that,” Palmer said of the trend. “As a girl who’s had her days with that acne, we’ve got to figure out a way to dress up — if it’s gonna be on my face, I’ve got to make it a friend.”

Palmer, a multihyphenate talent known for her acting, music career, podcasting and entrepreneurial efforts, expanded her scope in 2024 as the new chief brand officer for Revlon’s Creme of Nature hair care.

“I grew up with Creme of Nature — it’s one of those brands that has always been there not just among my family, but my community,” Palmer said in October 2024, following her appointment to the role.

“To have the opportunity to do it at this scale with Creme of Nature — it speaks to what the brand is doing in a way that not many others can claim, and I’m excited to bridge the gap between a legacy brand and how it’s coming back to the forefront for a new generation.”
