When it came to footwear, Palmer was revealed to wear black patent leather platform-soled boots. The edgy set created the base for a whimsical pink and orange-striped Christopher John Rogers dress, paired with a gold Lillian Shalom choker and metallic gold gloves for a maximalist twist. Another photo showed Palmer wearing a hot pink ruffled button-up blouse and matching trousers by Valentino, creating a monochrome ensemble that embraced the current “Barbiecore” trend.
