The “One of Them Days” star currently works with stylist Zoe Costello, who has also curated looks for rappers Quavo and Coi Leray.
Palmer wore her auburn tresses straightened, while her makeup consisted of chrome eye shadow, black eyeliner and a frosted pink lip.
Speaking to WWD on Wednesday, Palmer opened up about working on her latest film, which she also executive produced. “One of Them Days,” a buddy comedy, costars SZA.
“I know for me as an artist, I want to make stuff that makes me laugh and hopefully makes other people laugh because I feel like we already know we’re in hell. I feel like life is already difficult enough, and obviously life is always difficult no matter what’s happening, but I think right now especially, that’s kind of the common thing you hear, and it obviously informs your art,” Palmer said.
“For me, not even just this year, but the last 10 years or so, leaning into my comedy is really an evolution of my response to life and what’s happening around me. I want to lean into satire in all the ways that I used to love growing up, that have a poignance to it but also have this casualty that’s kind of like, ‘Hey, I’m rolling with the punches’ type of vibe,” she added.
On Saturday, Palmer attended the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in Los Angeles. The “Master of Me” author favored metallics in a full look from Sergio Hudson’s spring 2025 collection, which consisted of a satin blouse and matching belted maxiskirt.
Aurora James’ Fifteen Percent Pledge was founded in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd, asking companies to reflect the Black community by dedicating 15 percent of their shelf space to Black-owned brands.
This year’s gala, cohosted by Fifteen Percent Pledge chairwoman and Skims founding partner Emma Grede, raised $3 million for Black-owned businesses.
