Keke Palmer channels Dorothy Dandridge
The actor said she was inspired by Dandridge, the first black woman to be nominated for an Oscar in best actress.

“So, that’s why I wanted to take the inspiration of Dorothy Dandridge. All the doors that she opened for us with fashion and beauty.”
Palmer is wearing Vera Wang.
