Palmer is used to hanging with Hollywood stars as one of the players at Wrexham - owned by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
But he took things to another level when he was pictured at a Met Gala after-party alongside some of the biggest stars around.
Palmer posted an Instagram showing he and his wife Caitlin posing with six-time Brit award-winning artist Raye, who was also videoed performing on the piano at the party.
Other stars attended the swish after-party including Oscar nominated actor Barry Keoghan and social media star Haley Kalil.
Palmer has been living the high life since Wrexham secured promotion to League One last month.
The 32-year-old joined his teammates for celebrations in Las Vegas before swapping the Nevada sun for the concrete jungle of New York with his wife.
Fellow Wrexham stars like James McClean and Paul Mullin shared photos of their rowdy celebrations in Sin City as they were joined by co-owner Rob McElhenney to toast their back-to-back promotion campaigns.
Palmer is broadening his horizons away from the pitch in other ways too with the Red Dragons striker launching his own clothing brand.

How Ryan Reynolds has been watching Wrexham games in style
CO-OWNER Ryan Reynolds hasn't been able to make it to Wrexham in recent weeks due to filming commitments.
But that hasn't stopped him from watching his team in style.
Streaming the match on a laptop or even a TV was not grand enough for the Deadpool star as he worked on the set of his latest movie.
With a giant green screen behind him, he could not resist broadcasting Wrexham’s recent game on to the huge projector.
Reynolds and his crew watched on as the Welsh side notched their 23rd win of the season against Crawley Town.
He looked enamoured as the game played on behind him while surrounding by various pieces of Hollywood machinery.
And Reynolds captioned the moment: “Watching the Wrexham game at work: new level unlocked.”
It’s not clear what project Reynolds was working on at the time, with the actor currently developing several new movies including sequels to smash hits Free Guy and Red Notice.
The fashion label, named WXM clothing, launched back in 2022 and offers lounge wear for men, women and children and has been worn by both McElhenney and Reynolds in the past.
While fans think Palmer has also graced the silver screen since his arrival at Wrexham with many pointing out that a background character in the new Deadpool trailer looks like it could be the football star.
Ryan Reynolds all but confirms Wrexham star's cameo in new Deadpool movie as striker 'spotted in bar scene'
On the pitch Palmer will have to re-shift his focus to a new challenge when he returns from his stateside celebrations.
Wrexham will be competing in League One next season for the first time since the 2004/05 season.
And with high expectations and ambitions from the Hollywood owning duo, Palmer and Co could be looking for a third consecutive promotion campaign to try and earn a spot in the Championship.
