Keke Palmer leads a busy life. As a mom, actor, and singer, you could say the star has her hands very full at the moment. (Her personal new album, Just Keke—exploring themes of love, motherhood, and self-discovery—released last week.)
That got us thinking: What exactly does someone like Palmer pack when she travels—and tote around daily—to ensure that she always stays ready? We found out in Vogue’s latest installment of In the Bag, where Palmer shared all of her essentials.
Being a quintessential Virgo, Palmer shared that she first organizes her bigger bag with two smaller bags—including an “outfit bag,” courtesy of Chanel. Inside all of these compartments you’ll find her daily must-haves, including everything from glasses (“your girl is blind!”) to supplements, journals, and tons of snacks.
Her beauty staples include her trustee SPF by La Roche-Posay. “I would not be caught dead without it,” says Palmer. The star is also currently huge on taking her supplements, including Selenium, Vitamin C, D3, K2, and electrolytes. “When I turned 30, my knees started cracking,” says Palmer. “I was popping and locking. I said, ‘Girl, it’s time to start taking care of you.’”
As a proud mother to her son, Leo, Palmer also admits that much of her bag centers around his current needs and wants. She pulls out one of his toy cars, and some cookies. “Leo loves cookies,” she says. “Mama loves them too. Sometimes, they go missing, because she done ate ’em.”
Speaking of snacks, Palmer shares that she always has some treats on her person—including her favorite one, some freeze-dried soup. “You drop this in a hot cup of water, and you get exactly what you need,” says Palmer. When the star proceeds to pull out her trustee passport, she was also reminded of another surprising favorite snack she had in Croatia. “They had the best nachos I’ve ever had in my life,” she shares. “Can you believe it?” Booking our ticket now.
