GRAZIA cover star, Keke Palmer, can do it all. No really, there doesn’t seem to be anything the dynamic “Bottom’s Up” singer can’t do. She’s built her career singing, dancing, and acting but that seems to be just the tip of the iceberg. With an upcoming cooking show on Disney+ and over 10 million followers on Instagram, her talents and influence continue to grow and impress. Perhaps the most endearing thing about Keke though is her personality. She is refreshingly honest and fearless, especially when it comes to fashion.

The spring trends that emerged from the Spring Summer 2021 season aren’t for everyone. They challenged us to take a chance, be bold, daring even, which is understandably out of some people’s depth, but Keke didn’t shy away from any of them; it’s not in her DNA. Not only did she rockthem all, but she made some of these bolder spring trends less intimidating to try in our everyday lives. So while we’re looking ahead to warmer weather, we’ve rounded up four bold trends that Keke wore in our cover story that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe this spring.

Macrame Me

The Chloe dress Keke wears touches on the crochet trend prominent this season. From dresses to tops and skirts, SS21 elevated the boho staple texture from beach to street.

Make It A Highlight

You really can’t get bolder than wearing neon. While an entire neon look can be a lot for some, we find that it’s a better approach to start small like Keke’s pop of color in the Prada mules. SS21 served up a plethora of neon accessories ripe for the picking to dip your toe into the neon pool.

Bare Minimum

Showing a little skin has never been easier when you wear clothes that are barely there. Christian Dior is leading the charge in the sheer trend this season because how else would you be able to see the iconic Dior logo bra and brief on Keke?

Tie-Dye

2020 might have been a bad year for everything except tie-dye. The DIY trend was all anyone wanted to wear once quarantine hit and luxury brands took notice. Chanel tie-dye is certainly a way to continue the trend once it’s safe to socialize in person again.
