Keke Palmer made her debut as “Saturday Night Live” host over the weekend, while also sharing big news with her fans.
The actress and producer hosted the show for the first time, wearing a Sportmax three-piece ensemble for her monologue number. The outfit featured a long brown trench coat, a pair of brown cargo pants and a brown cropped fitted blouse.
While hosting the show, Palmer opened up about her career as a child actor, talked about upcoming projects, and jokingly asked fans to stop hounding her about pregnancy rumors. Surprisingly, she confirmed the rumors, opening her oversized trench coat to reveal her growing baby bump.

While hosting the Wearable Art Gala in October, she channeled the 1920s era in a vintage Yves Saint Laurent black dress adorned with feathers on the chest.
