‘You Look 10’: La La’s Effortless Beauty Has Fans Shook

“Power” actress and entrepreneur La La Anthony is aging backward, as proved by a recent Instagram photo. The 38-year-old uploaded a selfie to her profile of her rocking a gray tank top and boxer braids while watching TV.

“Sitting here watching DONT F**CK WITH CATS on @netflix 😱😱😱😱😱😱OMG‼️‼️‼️this is WILD‼️” Anthony wrote for her caption.

Fans flooded the mother of one’s comments to admire her flawless beauty. 

“Who the hell watches Netflix looking this pretty this time of night?! Where ur bonnet at???” one fan jokingly wrote. 

“You look 10 here…gorge natural look that I love! 💕.”

“You Are Just So So Beautiful.”

“Can I be you when I grow up?! 😩😍.” 

“Lala is so pretty 😍.”

“U r Gorgeous 😘😇.” 

While Anthony launched her cosmetics line, Motives, with owner Loren Ridinger in 2012, it took some time for Anthony to develop helpful beauty tips. In 2016, Anthony interviewed with Elle, mentioning that friend and songstress Kelly Rowland helped her with a beauty regime, especially at night. 

“There are literally nights that I’ve spent the night with Kelly, and I’m falling asleep with my makeup on, and I just feel her with a makeup wipe, like, take it off, like, ‘You have to take your makeup off!’” Anthony said.

In a 2017 article with Bustle, Anthony also admitted to using baking soda in her beauty regime. 

“I started learning how many uses you have for it, from obviously cooking to … beauty products,” Anthony said during the interview. 

On how she uses the baking soda, Anthony noted that she uses it as a body exfoliator because she has sensitive skin. 

 While Anthony’s flawless skin is the topic of today, this past week she made headlines after being spotted leaving a restaurant in Manhattan with “Aquaman” actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

However, according to Page Six, Anthony and husband Carmelo are still together despite the photos. 

The Anthonys had a strained marriage in the past when word got out that Carmelo allegedly fathered another child with a woman named Mia Angel Burks. Carmelo has denied these rumors, but Burks disagrees by calling out Carmelo about not spending time with their purported lovechild. 

Despite the drama, La La spent Christmas with Carmelo and their 12-year-old son Kiyan by posting Instagram pictures of the trio in matching pajamas.

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.
