Listen, babes, Virgo season doesn’t officially start until August 23—but apparently, Keke Palmer doesn’t own a calendar. Or maybe she just owns the moment. Same difference.
The actress-singer-talk-show-host-and-general-life-of-the-party decided to pre-game Virgo season with the boldest beauty choice possible: a fresh, fiery pixie cut in her signature copper red. And when I say “pixie,” I don’t mean “soft lob masquerading as a pixie.” I mean short short—like, “does the back of your neck feel cold yet?” short.
And the vibe? Equal parts ‘60s mod, ‘90s R&B diva, and 100% Keke Palmer being that girl. Instagram is already in shambles over it: “Okay pixieeeee,” one fan wrote. Another simply said, “Hello, I’m obsessed,” which honestly—same.
Keke kept her glam Virgo-minimalist: dewy skin, just enough mascara to flirt with the camera, and a glossy lip that whispered “effortless.” Accessorized with oversized glasses and a Beyoncé tee? Chef’s kiss.
Of course, she’s sticking to the copper-red shade that’s basically her superhero cape at this point. Miss Palmer has been fully living her best redhead life this year—wavy, curly, bobbed, layered—you name it, she’s tried it in red. She even declared, “I’m never going back” in July. And honestly? We wouldn’t let her.
Year 31 was iconic—new music, a podcast, and that hit comedy with SZA, One of Them Days. But year 32? With this pixie energy? Mark my words, she’s about to run the zodiac.
So yes, Keke Palmer’s pixie cut is less “just a haircut” and more “an astrological announcement.” And if you weren’t ready for Virgo season, well… you are now.
