When co-host Keke Palmer didn't know who Brooklyn Beckham was, 2021
During Vogue's Met Gala livestream in 2021, Keke Palmer, one of the co-hosts, found herself in a moment of confusion when she didn't recognize Brooklyn Beckham. The incident quickly garnered attention, partly because of Brooklyn's well-known lineage. In a seemingly genuine display of not recognizing him, Palmer directly asked Beckham, "Where are you from?"

One moment," she said, quickly finishing her touch-up to continue the interview. Harlow, unfazed by the brief delay, engaged in a light conversation with her, but their chat ended on a slightly awkward note.
