Keke Palmer was the epitome of glamour as she wished fans a merry Christmas Eve.
The actress, who is involved in a nasty bout of ‘she said, he said’ over restraining orders with ex Darius Jackson, seemed to cast aside her worries as she posed in a diaphanous red sparkling gown that clung to her every curve.
The 30-year-old Big Boss star donned a blonde beehive of curls and a curled tendril framing her face in an homage to 60s glamour.
Keke went a step further, lightening her eyebrows to a platinum blonde as well.
The rest of her makeup included long eyelashes and a muted lip with a darker red outline.

In one snap, the Under the Boardwalk actress star lay on her side, creating a holiday contrast with a furry white blanket.
The pièce de resistance was a photo of the single mom with her son Leodis, Leo for short, in front of the fireplace. The little one, who will turn 10 months old on Christmas and whose father is Darius, was adorable in a green and red elf outfit with white Santa trim and white sox.
He sat sweetly with a gift box as his mother stood by the Victorian stockings hung by the chimney with care.
‘Santa is here and she brought her favorite little helper,’ she wrote, ‘Merry Christmas Eve.’
In a separate post the Emmy winner asked her 13.8 million Instagram followers, ‘Yall ready for tomorrow?’
‘Any particular traditions you have? Share some with me,’ she requested, explaining, ‘I have my immediate family traditions but I’d like to start creating my own with my son! Give me some inspiration.’
‘Maybe you can write a story about Santa together and read it for bedtime on Christmas Eve ❤️ since Leo’s little, he can point to things he wants the story to be about,’ suggested one fan.
‘Kwanzaa girl, get into it,’ suggested another about the African American and Pan-African holiday founded in 1966 which runs from December 26 to January 1 and celebrates the principle of Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity and Faith.

Keke has been focusing on her musical talents in 2023, releasing her visual album Big Boss in May. She wrote the script for and directed the project.
Much of the storyline is based on her experiences growing up in Hollywood.
‘I ended up writing the story that I didn’t even know I wanted to tell,’ she told Glamour, ‘which was my musical journey and all that I experienced and learned and felt, and how the different narratives that I had told myself stopped me from being able to live in this very expressive, creative flow.’
The album and its accompany movie won the award for best music film at the Vienna Independent Film Festival.’
