Style Transition: LaLa Anthony Over The Years

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

LaLa Anthony’s style has transitioned from an unripe MTV veejay in the late 90’s who stood before us on stage with this big personality in blah clothes to a va va voom vixen to keep watch of. The Motives for La La makeup designer guided us through videos in over high-lightened bad hair (we’ve all been there), too-pale-of-a-face for bright studio lights, and surprisingly ill-fitting clothes (with a body like that?!) that were either sexed-up in the wrong direction or just plain frumpy. Nowadays the wife of NBA New York Knicks player, Carmelo Anthony, is looking the part and living up to her around-the-way title—‘first lady of New York.’

Always easy on the eyes (remember Carmelo inquired about the then-veejay he ‘had to meet’ just off seeing her on TV alone?), the “La La’s Full Court” reality star has taken her look to new horizons of hotness from those days. The mother-of-one, 5-year-old Kiyan Carmelo Anthony, is always on point with her style whether casual in skinny jeans and a cocoon tunic or utterly fabulous in a snatched evening gown for some gala, La La’s style is not only notched up from yesteryears, but she pulls the entire head-to-toe look off every time with ease.

We take a look at the buxom beauty’s style over the years just in time for the release of her new website launch for IAmLaLa.com. See how LaLa has grown in our eyes from a VeeJay to a style heavyweight.

Do you know how cute you have to be to still look cute in overdone brows and highlights? LOL!

La La was finding the right look for her while beginning to tone her brassy hair color down.

These pictures show her being more aware of what looks good on her busty figure and completely toned-down hair color with hints of highlights. Had forgotten about the side-shave look—not bad (on her).

I see a vixen taking shape. Clothes are sexy, but just enough without making men pass out upon arrival (LOL!). Playing with eyes more and darker tresses is becoming her thing.

Flawless: makeup, hair, clothes, and confidence! She’s attire-appropriate for whatever event she attends and her confidence is oozing through her bright smile which makes for any great beginning style. She looks comfortable (and straight fab) in the clothes she’s rocking, right?

What do you think of LaLa’s style evolution?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
