Keke Palmer in Naven – 2013 NAACP Image Awards

Keke Palmer in naven

Actress Keke Palmer is blazing the trail for young black actresses and thanks to her fabulous stylist, she knows how to stand out on the red carpet without any misteps. Keke was a presenter at this evening’s 2013 NAACP Image Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California and she looked all grown up and sophisticated in a blue gown with a side slit by Naven.

The blue gown with a racer back showed off Keke’s arms and sculpted back. She accessorized with black strappy sandals by Zigi NY, a Judith Leiber clutch and Neil Lane jewelry. We give her extra props for the messy braided updo. Very young Hollywood and still red carpet ready.
