Keke Palmer Gets Candid With ‘The Cut’ Magazine and Dolce and Gabbana host a Star-Studded Alta Moda Show in Italy

By  | 

Keke Palmer is mesmerizing on the cover of a special issue of The Cut. While slaying, the star gets candid about celebrity fame, striving to be a good mother, managing her new podcast and more.

The singer-actress is our good good girlfriend. She is our style inspiration, mommy goals and confidant. All rolled into one. For many, Keke is a sister who has grown up in the public eye through various roles and now stands out as a beautiful, aspirational icon. Keke admits to this aspect of her transformation in talking with The Cut – and how this growth has enhanced her career.

“I do feel like America’s little sister, little cousin,” she said during the interview. “I feel very much so related to everybody. I’m like that second cousin that you see every two years at the family reunion.”

Dolce and Gabbana host a Star-Studded Alta Moda Show in Italy

Set to a backdrop of 14th century cone-shaped huts and cobbled paths, the Italian house provided a show-stopping display for guests including Dame Helen Mirren and Kim Kardashian. Spectacle, as ever, is synonymous with all things D&G – so shutting down a whole town was a necessity for the designers, their 500-or-so Ultra High Networth clients and A-listers (Kim Kardashian, Dame Helen Mirren and Christian Bale to name a few).

The most important word for this collection is authenticity,” Gabbana declared in a preshow press conference. The collection was a homecoming of sorts—Dolce is from Sicily, just off the toe of Italy’s boot—and both designers were in a nostalgic state of mind, reminiscing about how their nonnas used to serve homemade bread with olive oil and love at Saturday family meals. 

A number of models wore giant cone hats shaped like trulli, while others had their hair tied back with Monica Vitti–esque headscarves and carried net market bags or woven baskets. Tanya McQuoid would certainly have approved.

There was so much gorgeous Mediterranean sensuality on display in transparent layers of tulle, chiffon, organza and lace worn over black lingerie, but the looks I loved most were the crochet pieces: a miniskirt suit and two dresses made with the help of Alberobello residents. “All the local people make crochet, and we organized the champions,” Dolce said. Made-to-measure clothes are, by definition, handmade, but there’s something extra lovely about knowing the traditions have been passed down through a family for generations.
