Keke Palmer blessed her 12.5 million Instagram followers with a trio of glam photos on May 7, as well as some super exciting career news. The actress and mom announced she’s dropping a brand new album and an accompanying movie, both of which release Friday.

“‘Big Boss’ the movie and album is here May 12thhhhh!!!!!” Palmer wrote in her caption. “Get tf into the DOLL. Don’t be late to the party. 😘.”

The 29-year-old Nope actress donned a figure-hugging leopard print mini dress with long sleeves and criss-crossed straps with an animal brooch at the neckline. Hairstylist Micah Cook gave the star a sleek and curly blowout, while makeup artist Nordia Cameron-Cunningham opted for golden eyeshadow, eyeliner and lots of lashes.

“We’re into ittttt!” three-time SI Swimsuit model Tanaye White gushed in the comments.

“You look so good!!!! 🔥🔥🔥,” Lori Harvey exclaimed.

“Why do u insist on eating the girls up on a DAILY???? 😩,” JStayReady added.

“‘Strong enough to bear the children… then get back to business!’ 🔥🔥🔥,” London Charles noted.

Palmer and her partner, Darius Jackson, welcomed a son named Leodis in February. Shortly thereafter, she called motherhood the “greatest gig of all.” Her return to music has been eagerly anticipated by fans, as Palmer released her debut album, So Uncool, in late 2007.
