Keke Palmer Shines in Glossy Pumps and Vintage Chanel Minidress on the BET Awards 2025 Red Carpet

Keke Palmer opted for a classic pair of heels to complement her vintage Chanel minidress at the 2025 BET Awards, held on Monday in Los Angeles.

Palmer wore pointed-toe patent leather pumps in black, a departure from her often eye-grabbing shoe choices. The shoe featured a low-cut vamp with a slight V-shape that helped elongate her legs, and a sharp heel, measuring around four to five inches.

Palmer paired the glossy heels with a navy minidress from Chanel’s fall 1993 collection. Her dress featured a deep V-neck halter design, a sheer top covered by sequins that were also added to the hem of the short skirt. The dress also featured a fitted bodice with some ruching, accentuating her waist. A short tulle train, which reached down to her calves, was added to the back of the dress.

Palmer, who is one of the presenters of the BET Awards 2025, was styled by Molly Dickson, who also works with Sydney Sweeney and Sadie Sink.
