Keke Palmer Unveils Striking New Blond Hairstyle Amidst Recent Public Spat with Boyfriend Darius Jackson

Keke Palmer Steps Out With Platinum Blonde Locks After Argument With Boyfriend Goes Viral

Actress and singer Keke Palmer was recently spotted rocking a bold new platinum blonde hairdo while out in Los Angeles, marking a dramatic change up in style following a public argument with boyfriend Darius Jackson that took over social media.

The 29-year-old star turned heads with her lighter locks, which she showed off while leaving a dance studio in LA. The new hairstyle comes shortly after Palmer made headlines for a heated verbal altercation with Jackson that was captured on video and sparked concern among fans earlier this month.

In the viral clip, Palmer and Jackson are seen engaged in a tense exchange in which Palmer appears visibly upset and accusing Jackson of being dishonest about his whereabouts to her. At one point, she asks Jackson “why would you lie to me?” leading many viewers to speculate there were issues of mistrust in their relationship.

The very public nature of the fight provoked strong reactions online, with some critics calling out Jackson for provoking Palmer’s distress while others argued it should have remained a private matter. Palmer herself eventually addressed the incident on social media, tweeting that the dramatic argument was just a symptom of poor communication between the two and asking for compassion.

While neither Palmer nor Jackson have officially confirmed a split, her new platinum makeover has some fans wondering if the hair color change could signal a fresh start. The actor is no stranger to switching up her style and rocking bold looks.

Past memorable hair moments for Palmer include her edgy baby bangs and pixie cut at the 2019 Met Gala, her neon green wig at the

in June, and the sleek high ponytail she sported in her recent Jupiter’s Legacy miniseries.

The Nope star has long embraced hair as a form of self-expression and transformation, once declaring: “I’m a chameleon, so I really love changing my hair.” Her lightened locks certainly represent one of her most dramatic changes yet.

Beyond making a style statement, Palmer’s platinum hair may also be preparation for an upcoming acting role. Earlier this year, she shared behind-the-scenes photos switching between blonde, brunette and red wigs on set.

With Palmer’s star continuing to rise in Hollywood following her acclaimed performance in

Jordan Peele’s Nope and Emmy nomination for SNL hosting, the possibilities are endless for where she may rock her new blonde ‘do next.

No matter the inspiration behind her latest look, Keke Palmer clearly enjoys keeping fans guessing and her hair color in flux. The confident star pulls off even the most bold and unexpected styles with ease.
