‘Fly Chick’: La La Anthony Stuns In Sporty Look

La La Anthony blew her fans away on Dec. 9 after she shared an upload of herself wearing a gray bra-and-sweatpants sportswear set while lounging around the house.

The model seductively posed for the camera as she captioned the post, “Grow through what you go through 💙.” She accessorized her ensemble with an oversized Christian Dior puffer jacket and jeweled Nike sneakers. Anthony’s fans rejoiced over the star’s casual gear.

While a stream of followers complimented the 39-year-old, several others referenced Anthony’s character Lakeisha Grant from “Power.” One wished they could bring Grant back following her death in the hit Starz show’s final season. “We need you to come to life in Power.”

Another brought up Grant’s boyfriend, Tommy Egan — who was portrayed by Joseph Sikora —when marveling over her get-up. “Tommy’s girl is looking GOOD.”

“I barely started watching Power and girrrrrrl, you’re so good on that show,” an Instagram user said while praising Anthony’s acting chops.

In 2019, the mother of one opened up to “Entertainment Weekly” about how this role helped her master her craft as an actor. “It’s been my life for six years. Professionally, I grew as an actor, I’ve learned so much being surrounded by such amazing talent.” She added, “I just learned so many things, not just from the actor perspective, but the writing perspective, like how to keep a show together, how to run a show. I was a student my entire time being there, and I walked out a better actor and a better person. And I’m excited to see what’s next for me.”

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.
