The internet is in a tizzy after Keke Palmer donned the mother of all sexy dresses to Usher’s performance – and we’ve discovered some inexpensive alternatives so you can rock the look too without the pricey price tag.
The Akeelah and the Bee actress was spotted dancing with Usher at his show in Las Vegas over the weekend, when he serenaded her with his slow ballad There Goes My Baby.
Keke, 29, gave Usher, 44, a little twirl at one point to show off her costume, which was a transparent stretch-tulle Givenchy dress with a thong bodysuit underneath.
However, her boyfriend Darius Jackson, 29, wasn’t thrilled about his partner wearing such a revealing outfit and proceeded to publicly shame her on Twitter, writing: ‘It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,’ referring to the couple’s four-month-old son Leodis ‘Leo’ Andrellton Jackson.
Charming! Needless to say, Darius was dragged by the internet as a result, and Keke’s dress received the attention it deserved.
Given that the Givenchy version costs £1,300, if you want to channel Keke’s look without spending a fortune, we’ve searched far and low for the most economical alternatives.
Keke has yet to respond to her boyfriend’s provocative remark, but she’s clearly unapologetic about her costume, posting many photos from the enjoyable night on Instagram.
She wrote: ‘I wish I had taken more pictures but we were running late! I am telling y’all right now, if you haven’t seen @usher YOU MUST GO!! HE WAS SO FABULOUS!! Giving theater, Atlanta downnn, tips and tricks and just absolutely iconic.
‘I was truly inspired as a performer. I whooped some ass in spades too! Where is that pic of us all together with the King himself??’
Meanwhile, Darius doubled down on his criticism of his girlfriend, and later wrote on Twitter: ‘We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is.
‘This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.’
