In celebration of Keke Palmer’s newest big-screen endeavor, The Pickup—coming to Amazon Prime Video on August 6—the show-stopping multi-hyphenate headed to Los Angeles’s Regal LA Live in an eye-catching ‘fit.

Wearing a sheer, beaded one-shoulder gown with mesh cutouts and a satin train, Palmer commanded the carpet before the film’s premiere. The actress (who plays her first villain in the character Zoe) accessorized the dress with studded statement hoops, a dainty choker and a classic tennis bracelet.

Following the festivities, Palmer posted a number of frames featuring Sunday night’s ensemble on Instagram. Like us, her massive fanbase was equally stunned by her jaw-dropping look.

“YESSSSSS KEKE WE LOVE IT 😍,” a user penned on her newest post.

“Between the hair and the chiseled armsss 😮‍💨 kekeeeee!!! 😍😍😍😍😍,” one commenter gushed.

“just fell to my knees,” another fan declared.

“u ate in this movie mama,” one user complimented.

In The Pickup, Palmer shares the screen with Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson, “as a routine cash pickup takes a wild turn,” resulting in “one very bad day that keeps getting worse,” its trailer reads.

However, behind the scenes, the co-stars’ camaraderie was anything but chaotic. In fact, Davidson—who revealed that he is expecting his first child with Elsie Hewitt earlier this month—credited the actress for easing his mind on welcoming a newborn while working in the industry.

“When we were doing The Pickup, Keke’s baby was just born, and she had him on set the whole time, and she would go into a take and then run over, you know, play with the baby, and it made me realize it’s possible to co-exist in both worlds. You know?” Davidson told ExtraTV. “I was really impressed with her… the way she was parenting on set.”

Perhaps we’ll be seeing Palmer’s 2-year-old son, Leodis, on the big screen with her one day. In an interview on Good Morning America in June, the multi-talented star beamed over the possibility of her toddler stepping in front of the camera with her.

“I would love that so much. I have so many ideas for me and Leo,” Palmer enthusiastically shared on the broadcast. “I just love seeing Blue [Ivy Carter] and all of Beyoncé’s girls [...] up there with her. It’s just the best. So if I could have something like that with Leo, it would make my dreams [come true].”
