Keke Palmer turned heads with a dramatic, sky-high ponytail during her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The multi-talented star stopped by to promote her new memoir, Master of Me, and brought serious glamour to the late-night stage.
Palmer wore a sheer black lace button-down dress paired with a voluminous ponytail that soared to impressive heights. Styled by Kira Dior, her hair was slicked back tightly at the crown, adding a few inches of height before falling into soft, bombshell curls. The look blended retro drama with modern polish, echoing the glamor of 1960s variety shows.
Palmer even performed a playful original show tune she wrote for her toddler son, Leo, making the moment even more charming.
Her makeup, created by artist Kenya Alexis, featured smoky gray eyeshadow, rosy blush, and a matte brown lip—a look that combined influences from both the ‘60s and ’90s.
Palmer is known for her attention to detail and commitment to standout beauty looks. As a self-proclaimed Virgo, she shares a perfectionist streak with fellow star Beyoncé. Recently, she’s played with various hairstyles, from vintage pin-up bangs to soft curls with glasses for a Password appearance.
The Emmy-winning host, who began 2024 with long honey-blonde waves and a major award win for Password, shows no signs of slowing down. If this latest look is any indication, 2025 is already shaping up to be another bold and stylish year for Keke Palmer.
