In 2016, Keke Palmer played Marty Maraschino, one of the Pink Ladies, in the TV special Grease Live!<\/em> While it’s been over a decade since she crooned \u201cFreddy My Love,\u201d Palmer proved that it’s always a good time to think pink\u2014both with an update to her hair color and the prettiest rosy eye shadow.<\/p>\n Palmer did double duty as host and performer at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music Awards and absolutely lit up the red carpet pre-show with a gorgeous twist on her go-to copper hair color, styled by hairstylist Ashanti Lation. She’s changed up her pixie’s hue a few times in the recent past, including a darker auburn and a highlighted brunette, but for the Billboard event, she added a subtle hint of the prettiest warm deep pink and strawberry tones to her hair, reminiscent of one of those take-your-breath-away sunsets. The colors mingled together in an ombr\u00e9 pattern and shifted depending on the light.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n Palmer and makeup artist Kenya Alexis carried the pink theme through to her makeup, with bright rose-pink eye shadow brushed across her entire lid and outward, defined with bold strokes of winged liner and long, wispy eyelashes. A similar shade of soft, petal-pink blush was applied high up on her cheekbones for a monochromatic feel. Later in the show, Alexis added more sparkle to Palmer’s eye makeup, including diamond stones to frame her brows and lots of sparkle across her lids.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n![\"Keke](\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69f360477e4991a36f35a0b5\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/keke%2520palmer%2520sunset%2520ombre%2520hair.jpg\"\/)
