Let’s talk about Keke Palmer and Law Roach—the dynamic duo who’ve had us drooling over their fashion moments, but apparently, things weren’t always so glam behind the scenes. Picture this: a pregnant Keke Palmer strutting around with her bump and Law Roach, the fashion magician, frantically waving his wand… and nothing quite fitting like a glass slipper.
On Wednesday night (Oct. 2), the “Hustlers” star and the self-proclaimed “Image Architect” found themselves on stage together, presumably dressed to the nines, chatting about Law’s new literary masterpiece “How to Build a Fashion Icon: Notes on Confidence from the World’s Only Image Architect.” (I mean, why not go all out with that title, right?)
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. Turns out, Keke didn’t exactly feel like the belle of the ball every time Law brought over his wardrobe wonders. Remember, she was pregnant with little Leodis, who made his fabulous entrance in February 2023. And what do you do when you’re pregnant? You show off that baby bump, right? WRONG. Well, at least, not if you’re Keke Palmer.
“I’m like, ‘Oh, let’s show the baby bump,’” Law reminisced, probably with jazz hands for dramatic effect. Cue montage of him rummaging through racks of clothes, determined to make Keke the most bumpin’ fashionista.
But guess what? The fits didn’t hit. Poor Law couldn’t catch a break, and that’s when Keke dropped the mic: “You might be the best stylist in the world, but you’re not the best stylist for me.” Ouch! A backhanded compliment with the precision of a fashion sniper. Law, being the confident queen he is, didn’t miss a beat. “I f***ing loved it,” he said, practically basking in the shade like it was SPF 100.
The crowd was eating it up like free hors d’oeuvres. Keke chimed in, “Law lives for a drag!” because of course he does! If anyone’s gonna serve a read with style, it’s Keke Palmer.
Law went on to explain that he had this grand vision for Keke—something along the lines of Beyoncé’s baby bump debut mixed with a little runway fierceness. He was ready to unleash the bump like it was a secret weapon. But Keke? Nah. She wasn’t about that life just yet.
“It was her personal prerogative,” Law said, sounding like a philosopher of fashion. And despite his master plan for world baby bump domination, he ended his fashion saga with, “I will always love you.”
Awww, cue the Whitney Houston soundtrack.
