Keke Palmer Hosts Billboard Women in Music 2026 in a Crystal Chain Monse Dress

Keke Palmer was hosting Billboard Women in Music 2026, so of course she showed up ready to sparkle.

The star kicked off the night at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Wednesday in a crystal-covered look from Monse's spring 2026 collection, giving the naked dress trend a full disco makeover.

The base was a sheer mesh mini with visible corset boning, and on top of that, layers and layers of crystal chains draped across her body like jewelry. It was one-shouldered, with rhinestone tassels falling from the strap and across her torso, plus more chains forming a web pattern across the chest and back.

The skirt kept going with loose crystal fringe and a high slit, so it moved every time she did. Revealing? Yes. But it was so detailed that it felt more like art than a stunt.

She matched it with metallic platform heels and let her short, deep red pixie cut add some attitude. Her makeup stayed warm and glowy with a little shimmer.

Keke didn't stop there, either. She also performed during the show and switched into a few more looks throughout the night, including a metallic silver two-piece.

She wasn't the only one serving looks at the Palladium. Check out Lainey Wilson's floral Saiid Kobeisy jacket from the same night.
