Although it has been barely three months since she birthed her son, Palmer is crushing motherhood. So, it was no surprise when the actress treated her first Mother's Day celebration as a serious project, taking to Instagram to post pictures of herself and Leodis in honor of the occasion.

The new mom kicked things off with a breathtaking, black-and-white three-photo set that showcased her body in a black mini dress, an oversized black-and-white jacket, and pointed-toe white pumps. She served face with well-drawn brows, full lashes, and attention-grabbing eyeshadow while holding her newborn, who matched her in an all-black onesie and socks.

For her hair, the Primetime Emmy Award-winning star opted for her short tresses to be styled into big, bold curls, reminding us of the old Hollywood glam, and rocked minimal jewelry, leaving her neck bare. "Happy Mother's Day, to a MUVAAAAA." the Interscope Records signee captioned the post.

Palmer did not stop there as she decided to put her postpartum curves on full display in another two-set Instagram post. This time, she donned a white, figure-hugging number with tiny straps and a plunging neckline highlighting her bosom.

The "Barbershop 2: Back in Business" star maintained her Hollywood-themed hairdo, minimal jewelry, and dazzling glam, as she told her followers via the caption, "I'm not playing with these people, baby." 

The "Man in the Mirror" songstress made a final appearance, without baby Leo, in a third set of images. Although she appeared to be wearing the sexy black mini dress she rocked in the first set of photos, she had ditched the accompanying shawl and pumps for a pair of strappy black heels.

"New Era… #BigBoss," the mom-of-one penned as this Instagram post's caption. "just wow ???," singer Halle Bailey gushed in the comment section, as one fan exclaimed, "You're my mother too at this point keke !!!!" A third person appealed, "Keke, please... I'm begging," and a fourth claimed, "This is crazy you gettin finer everyday."

"The body," a fifth simply wrote, while a sixth declared that Palmer's "glow is real." The actress herself has noticed how even more beautiful and filled out she has gotten since February and has since thanked her son for giving her the glow-up.

Per The Blast, Palmer had previously credited her newborn son for her incredible assets. Alongside a video of her getting a face beat at an undisclosed location, the hip-hop artist typed in the caption, "Hips? NEVER HAD EM'! Boobs? Never had em'! Booty? BARELY. Thanks, son. ?.”

The 'True Jackson, VP' Alum Jokingly Manifested Her Son

Over a year ago, Palmer had joked about being pregnant when she was not. She soon discovered the power of manifestation later in 2022, when she learned she had taken in and was carrying her baby boy.

The "I Don't Belong to You" singer recently shared the details of the occurrence with her 12.5 followers using an expectedly-entertaining video of herself and Leodis. She is seen holding the infant while swaying to the song blasting in the background with an amused expression. 

Unlike his mom, Leodis was displeased, and his entire face told the story. Palmer did not help matters as she zoomed in a few times to show more of the tot's face, writing in the caption below:

"And to think! Just last April fools I "joked" about being pregnant… we manifested you, little buddy! I love hanging out with you, and you just look crazy like a caveman. He's already tired of me."

Amid the "Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella" Broadway star's quick grasp of motherhood, she still has a few things to learn, as she previously revealed that she was "learning how to balance it all."

To that end, she would be doing her best to prove the haters who could not fathom the "greater purpose" Palmer's son has "given" her life and thought she was a lousy mom wrong.
