Pimp Premiere
This is half-cocktail dress, half-one of those unitards that you see on Big Brother when someone loses a challenge and gets stuck in one for a week.

No wonder she has all those holes in her pants! Fawkes singed her when he turned himself into that jacket.

This is a patchwork leather jumpsuit, and while those words don't go well together, I have to admit: with different boots I might like this on her.

She makes being a paratrooper look fun. (Seriously, those are the most appealing coveralls I have ever seen. DISCO COVERALLS.)

This was so close, but I wish the shorts had a higher rise. Her whole navel is out, and that's always a distraction and detraction to me.

I've decided those pants were a kindness to her friend Bella, so that Bella would be the best-dressed person in this photo.

Keke Palmer
MTV VMAs 2019 - Red Carpet Arrivals, New Jersey, USA - 26 Aug 2019
That purse is shaped like an old-school cell phone, and I think that while I would find this more effective if it were lined, it's appealingly ritzy on her.

Wearing Roberto Cavalli
I can't sort out that random piece of lining up near her right armpit -- does it NEED to be there? -- and like with so many things, this wants to be transparent in ways that don't do anything for it. But I also think these last two outfits are where things really started to shift.

Pause for an old skirt she turned into a sundress.

That also had potential, but for the bunchy skirt. But the vibe is chicly professional.

I hope she at least walked around waving those side-trains and pretending to hex people. It's what I would have done, if I were a more fun person.

She's entered a high-low phase by now. I REALLY like this on her, but for it perhaps needing to be a touch less low on the v-neck.

Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research Angel Ball, Arrivals, Cipriani Wall Street, New York, USA - 28 Oct 2019
The Angel Ball, honors the memory of Gabrielle Rich Aouad and benefits Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research, which funds the best and brightest early career scientists whose research focuses on finding less toxic treatments for patients with leukemia, lymphoma and other related blood cancers.
This, for me, is easily her look of the year. I LOVE it on her. I THINK it's J. Mendel.

A touch too short, but awfully kicky, right?

And we end with some kookery. She looks like a Coldstream Guard hat that's slowly unwinding, but I find that when the wacky picks are intermixed with stuff I can at least UNDERSTAND, it's less exhausting than when it's one borked-up mess after another. So, long may Keke play, be it well or in fug, and we will just hope for a healthy dose of each.
