Keke Palmer proudly shows off risqué Usher concert outfit that wasn’t up to boyfriend’s ‘standards’
Perhaps she’s ushering in a new style era.
After Keke Palmer wore a sheer Givenchy outfit to an Usher concert in Las Vegas — where she was serenaded by the R&B singer himself — her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, took to Twitter to express his disapproval with her sexy style.
“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” Jackson tweeted Wednesday, inspiring Palmer’s fans to defend her right to dress however she pleases and accuse him of being jealous that Usher singled her out in the crowd.
Undeterred by the backlash, the former fitness instructor — with whom Palmer shares 5-month-old son Leodis — promptly doubled down on his stance.
“We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is,” Jackson tweeted.
“This is my family & my representation. I have standards & morals to what I believe. I rest my case.”
For Usher’s show, Palmer wore a see-through tulle Givenchy dress ($1,690), but swapped out the look’s included slip for a sultry thong bodysuit that showed off her curves.
And while the “Nope” star didn’t directly address the criticism from her boyfriend, she doesn’t appear to regret her fashion choice.
Following the brouhaha, Palmer posted shots of her outfit from multiple angles on Instagram, even writing in her caption, “I wish I had taken more pictures.”

As Palmer once said: Sorry to that man.
