Can we just take a minute and talk about Keke Palmer? We've loved her since her True Jackson days, but our obsession only gets stronger and stronger over the years. Not only is Palmer hilarious and exceptionally talented, but she also has style in spades — as evidenced by the sheer dress she now infamously wore to see Usher's Las Vegas show. A dress that looked amazingggggg, despite what some people (cough, cough) may say.
Keke Palmer hit up the residency looking extra glam in a sheer black long-sleeved polka dot dress layered over a cheeky tank bodysuit with a thong bottom. She wore her hair in '50s-inspired curls with a deep side part and a glossy lip. The look was so good that Usher couldn't resist directly serenading Palmer with his song "There Goes My Baby." (We don't blame him one bit; we'd be doing the exact same thing if Palmer were in the audience in that dress. What better place to take a risk and show a little skin than Las Vegas?)
Our only regret with this look is truly we didn't get more pics of it because we need to see it from every angle — and Palmer herself seems to echo our sorrows. "I wish I had taken more pictures, but we were running late!" the star captioned a post recapping the night on her Instagram. “I was truly inspired as a performer. I whooped some *ss in spades too!”

Palmer has really upped her fashion game since welcoming her first child Leodis in February. Think about the sleek tweed column gown she wore to the Met Gala and the colorful mini dress to the after party, or the beyond chic Sergio Hudson bombshell gown at the Fragrance Foundation Awards in New York City.
Celebrity moms have definitely proven that just because you've welcomed a new addition, you don't have to hide your body in baggy layers. Think Rihanna in her sheer slip dresses and bump-baring jumpsuits, Kylie Jenner's distressed dresses, and Gigi Hadid's lingerie-inspired looks. Just because you added the word "mom" to your resumé doesn't mean your fashion risk-taking days are over, and Palmer's Las Vegas look is (fire) proof.
