Under the styling of Molly Dickson, Keke Palmer wore a look from Monse’s spring 2026 collection. The disco-inspired look was evocative of the late Tina Turner’s concert style, with tassels of shimmering crystal strung around the minidress silhouette of the piece. The dress also included semi-sheer fabric on the bodice and exposed boning, with a one-shoulder statement piece that added asymmetry to the look.
