Keke Palmer has never shied away from bold, leg-flaunting style moments, and these two standout outfits show just how confidently she moves between glamorous red-carpet drama and playful, skin-baring party looks.
From a regal Christian Siriano gown to a daring Self-Portrait set, her footwear choices were just as unforgettable.

She styled her full-length high-low gown with purple eye shadow and rose-gold Harmony Sparkle three-strap sandals with crystals by Italian shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti.

Four years earlier, Keke showed off a more playful—and far more skin-baring—look at the FOX TCA Summer All-Star Party in Los Angeles.
#2: Playful Skin-Baring Style at the FOX TCA All-Star Party (Self-Portrait Set & Tamara Mellon Sandals)

The then 21-year-old actress put her sex appeal on full display in a skin-baring ensemble from Self Portrait. She paired an iridescent green cropped sweater with a ribbed knit skirt that featured a thigh-high slit.

Keke finished the look with matching eye makeup and strappy Tamara Mellon sandals that revealed an anchor tattoo on her ankle. She had it inked in March 2012 with her friend Taylor Parks.
While this outfit may seem flashy, it’s pretty tame compared to the dangerously revealing mini dress Keke wore to the BET Awards in 2014.

Although we feel like Keke’s look was a little unseasonal for a summer bash, we love her intriguing Tamara Mellon sandals.
These vampy stilettos feature a modern array of ankle straps in black patent leather.
