Baby, this is Keke Palmer as a blonde!
The “Nope” star debuted a glamorous new look via Instagram Saturday, sharing a photo of herself rocking an eye-catching platinum blond wig styled into a chic updo.
Palmer, 29, was also dolled-up in full makeup, complete with purple eyeshadow, false eyelashes and long, pink stiletto nails.
“That time I went blonde. 😌,” she captioned the snap.
Fans quickly took to the comments section to praise the actress’ Barbie-inspired makeover.
“Baby. This is keke Monroe. 😍,” one person wrote.
“this Barbie is a MOTHER,” another added.
“if keke don’t do nothing else, she gone serve looks 24/77777😍,” a third chimed in.
Palmer’s bold transformation comes weeks after her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, publicly shamed her for wearing a sexy outfit to Usher’s Las Vegas residency show.

“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” Jackson, 29, tweeted in response to a viral video of the R&B musician serenading the “Hustlers” star with his hit song “There Goes My Baby.”
He then doubled down on his remark, tweeting, “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.”
Jackson has since deleted his Twitter account amid the backlash from both fans and celebrities.
It’s unclear whether the two, who welcomed son Leodis in February, are still in a relationship. It appears Jackson has removed all photos of Palmer from his Instagram account following the public spat.
Though the Disney Channel alum has yet to directly address the controversy, she has seemingly dismissed her baby daddy’s commentary as she continues to embrace her post-baby figure on social media. Palmer has also spoken about the “sense of freedom” she has experienced since becoming a mom.
“I was really always preoccupied on the low key of my body and then after I had a baby, it kind of freed me in a way where I just didn’t care as much,” Palmer said earlier this month during a panel discussion at the “Big Boss: Empowering Yourself to Create the Life You Want” event.
“And so the fact that I didn’t care, it made me just have an ease and a comfortability and a love for myself in a way that I didn’t have before.”
She added, “It just gave me a sense of freedom that I can’t describe, where I’m not afraid, because it’s like, this is what I have, this is who I am.”
