‘Akeelah’ star Keke Palmer’s new role: style maven
Los Angeles ? Teen actress Keke Palmer can add fashionista to her repertoire.
As the star of “True Jackson, VP,” she plays a 15-year-old fashion maven who, to the chagrin of her older co-workers, lands a job as head of a major label’s youth division.
The series suddenly has Palmer paying attention to labels and designers.
“Before, I was just like, ‘Anything that looks good, throw it on,'” said Palmer, whose previous roles include a reluctant school spelling champ in “Akeelah and the Bee.”
The show makes it debut Saturday on the Nickelodeon cable network.
