On October 17, Palmer attended the ceremony in an oversized metallic silver blazer dress with black cuffs and a v-shaped neckline. She accessorized with dangling earrings and silver jewelry.
At the event, Palmer gave a speech introducing Issa Rae, who was named an Elle Women in Hollywood Honoree this year. Rae heaped praise back onto Palmer when she took the stage.
"Keke Palmer, Keke, you are the most entertaining woman in the world. And I just, thank you for existing. If you are lucky enough for Keke Palmer to know who you are, you should feel blessed," Rae said, according to Elle.
