Keke Palmer Celebrated Her Birthday With a Brand-New Pixie Cut

After a brief foray into honey blonde territory, Palmer has been rocking spicy red hair for a while now, wearing it in voluminous curls, but this is a whole other look, and now her eyebrows are penciled to match. For the outing, she kept her makeup soft and rosy and accessorized with gold chains.

“Having red hair is way more fun. It’s funny because I was red before, but I don’t think that the color was giving what it’s giving now,” she told People earlier this summer at Essence Fest. “This ginger copper…I’m living my best life and I’m never going back. I need everybody to know I’m never going back. Legitimately.”

“I don’t know why Tyra [Banks] went back,” she continued. “It works with the eyes, it works with everything. It’s really, really good. It’s so crazy how it’s like there’s not really many Black redheads, but for whatever reason it looks good on our skin,” she added. Literally, Palmer is always so wise, and she’s only not even yet 32? Happy almost birthday to our girrrrrl.
