Keke Palmer wore an archival Versace dress with metallic Jimmy Choo sandals at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones, which took place at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverley Hills on March 2.
Styled by Molly Dickson, Palmer wore a vintage haute couture Versace dress that looked like it wouldn’t be out of place in a “Dune” movie. The gown featured a flowing layered skirt and a simple bandeau top in the same ivory hue; contributing a unique element to the dress was a glimmering netted high-neck top with a sparkling trim. Jewelry from Messika accentuated the actress’ glamorous aesthetic.
Metallic silver shoes from Jimmy Choo added another captivating element to Palmer’s outfit. Wearing the brand’s Tabatha style, the shoes featured a crystal-embellished belt strap stretching across the toes and a slingback strap in the back. The label’s recognizable “drop heel” — which is a stiletto flaring into a rounded bottom — also contributed to the set. From Jimmy Choo, the Tabatha 95 is marked at a price of $1,750.
Palmer was one of many well-dressed stars out and about on Hollywood’s biggest night. The 97th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday, March 2. “Anora” took home Best Picture and four more trophies, including Best Director for Sean Baker and Best Actress in a Leading Role for Mikey Madison. Additional Oscar winners included Adrien Brody, who won Best Actor in a Leading Role for “The Brutalist”; Zoe Saldaña, who earned the award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for “Emilia Pérez”; and Kieran Culkin, who nabbed the trophy for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for “A Real Pain.”
