STUART WEITZMAN LAUNCHES HOLIDAY 2026 "LIFE OF THE PARTY" CAMPAIGN STARRING KEKE PALMER

Palmer basks in the modern woman's ultimate luxury — a quiet evening to herself and her thoughts — while wearing the brand's new Holiday 2026 Collection

NEW YORK, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global luxury footwear brand Stuart Weitzman New York, a lead brand in the Caleres (NYSE: CAL) portfolio, introduces its Holiday 2026 "Life of the Party" Campaign starring Keke Palmer. The campaign marks the latest iteration of its year-long celebration of the Stuart Weitzman woman's pursuit of betterment — her infinite quest to become her best self — through the lens of the holiday season. After another year of thriving in the chaos, the high-achieving SW woman is indulging in the ultimate luxury: A quiet evening to herself and her cheekiest thoughts.

"Stuart Weitzman knows who their woman is: She's me. I'm always juggling a million things at once — family, life, career — so the idea that the ultimate indulgence is a night all to myself really spoke to me, especially because I've been journaling for decades. Plus, I've worn and loved this brand for years! The sparkling shoes and handbags in the Collection are just too good." — Keke Palmer

Beloved for her split-second wit, dynamic presence and meme-able interviews, all of which have made her the darling of the Internet, Palmer is the life of the party wherever she goes. As an Emmy Award-winning actress, singer, television personality, mother-of-one and New York Times best-selling author, Palmer embodies the high-achieving, multi-faceted spirit of the Stuart Weitzman woman. Now, as the host of the popular podcast "Baby, This is Keke Palmer," founder of KeyTV Network, a digital media network with a focus on diverse and underrepresented voices, and co-founder of the record label Big Bosses Entertainment, Palmer continues to expand her entertainment empire.

In the campaign, Palmer debuts the brand's Holiday 2026 Collection, a range of party-ready platforms, slides and pumps with radiant crystal-cut embellishments and shimmering leather noir materials. Lensed by fashion photographer Philip-Daniel Ducasse, whose work has covered leading publications such as British Vogue, New York Magazine and i-D Magazine, the campaign's black-and-white imagery nods to the brand's iconic minimalist visual vocabulary. It also features the work of stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, renowned for her narrative approach to styling and focus on diversifying the fashion industry.

Explore "Life of the Party" and the Holiday 2026 Collection available on stuartweitzman.com, in Stuart Weitzman New York boutiques and at select retailers around the globe.
