Keke Palmer Channels ’90s Versace in Bold Sheer Gown at The Pickup Premiere

Keke Palmer hit the red carpet at the LA premiere of The Pickup wearing a daring one-shoulder Atelier Versace gown from the Fall 1996 collection—and she made it her own.

The pewter-grey dress, crafted in sheer silk with intricate beaded details, is classic ’90s Versace: sexy, sculpted, and just a little polarizing. The exposed belly button and flattened bust area might divide fashion fans, but Keke clearly embraced the throwback energy.

Styled by Molly Dickson, Keke paired the look with voluminous curls and her signature confidence. The vibe? Pure vintage diva. While the dress won’t be to everyone’s taste, the commitment to archival fashion is clear—and intentional. This wasn’t about reinventing the ’90s; it was about stepping fully into it.

Between the sultry attitude and era-specific styling, Keke continues her streak of fearless red carpet moments. You don’t have to love the look to respect the fashion risk.
