Keke Palmer stays busy, and every public appearance she attends means another coveted shoe is added to her rotation. The “I Love Boosters” star has been bopping around from event to event during the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival in New York, and on Tuesday she showed two different new and trendy heel styles.

On Monday, she was a part of “Storytellers – Keke Palmer with Whoopi Goldberg,” a discussion that went down during the festival and took place at the SVA Theater. For the conversation, she reached into the Jean Paul Gaultier 2000s archives for her ensemble.
She wore a black strapless midi dress with a fishnet bodice panel at the waist and a cream contrast waistband with ruching at side seams and a drop-waist skirt. She paired the look with the Femme Los Angeles Paulo Slipper in coco brown, which retails for $199.

The striking open-toe slip-on design combines a sleek single-strap vamp with an architectural 3.93″ metal-plated stiletto heel. The shoes are handcrafted in L.A. with a vegan upper and insole, and are paired with a durable leather and rubber outsole. The minimalist shoes served as a sharp contrast to Goldberg’s colorful lace-up Oxfords.
Palmer also attended the Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner hosted by Chanel, which was held at Tribeca Grill on Monday in New York. Like all the other guests, she was decked out in Chanel for the dinner. She wore a Chanel silk midi skirt and jacket in ecru and multicolor shades.

She paired the look with Chanel slingback pumps from the fall 2026 collection. The shoes were made with a classic Chanel design with sleek and modern additions. The slingback style, designed by Matthieu Blazy, features a slingback strap, a flared block heel, and a bright white cap toe.
She paired the look with a Chanel shiny calfskin and gold-tone metal clutch in black and the fashion house’s Metal & Resin hoop earrings in silver and pearly white. “The ‘Burbs” star was styled by Molly Dickson.
