La La Anthony Trashed for Appearing to Borrow Kim Kardashian’s Look: ‘Thrifting Kim’s Looks, Be Original’

La La Anthony and Kim Kardashian have been friends for quite some time, but maybe too long because people are saying Anthony looks just like the reality star.

On Thursday afternoon, Anthony shared a photo of herself with Virgil Abloh, who’s the artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s men’s wear collection. The two were in Paris together, and many thought Anthony was actually Kardashian — mainly because of her outfit and hairdo.

“Thought it was kim 😩,” someone wrote.

But a lot of folks just didn’t think it was a coincidence that Anthony favored Kardashian, they thought the actress was purposely trying to look like her. In fact, so much so they mistook Abloh for Kardashian’s husband Kanye West.

“Thrifting Kim’s looks. Be original,” one person wrote.

“You are a Kim wanna be!! Stop it. Just be yourself,” wrote another.

“Budget Kim Kanye,” a third person weighed in.

There were others who thought Abloh was Lamar Odom, since Odom used to be a part of the Kardashian Klan when he was married to Khloé Kardashian.

And besides the Kardashian lookalike photo, Anthony shared another picture of herself on Thursday from Paris, and it showed her in a black and white mini dress that folks seemed to love.

“Those legs though @lala,” someone commented.

There was another person who some might say came off creepy when he responded to the second photo.

“La la I swear I love the ground you walk on baby come make my dreams true I’m some where waiting for you inside your head somewhere for you,” he wrote.

Anthony hasn’t responded to the comments about looking like Kardashian yet.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
