‘Mel Fumbled the Bag’: La La Anthony’s Fashion Post Left Fans Marveling Over Her Beauty

La La Anthony‘s fashion post on Saturday, Dec. 11, left fans mesmerized by the star’s beauty.

In the Instagram upload, Anthony is seen wearing a brown patterned suede attire with matching gloves while seductively posing on the staircase. In addition to the curve-hugging ensemble, the 39-year-old paired the look with sunglasses, light wavy tresses and her voluptuous figure.

Anthony showcased the outfit’s entirety by incorporating various modeling techniques, including two poses where she’s looking back and a rearview pose. In addition to the upload, the mother of one seemingly teased her followers by writing the caption, “Just a reminder.” As fans began to view the post, many played along with Anthony’s caption and claimed they didn’t need a reminder to remember how “beautiful” she was.

“We didn’t forget, but go awf tho!!”

“What a #Reminder!”

“A reminder that you are one of the most beautiful women to exist?”

“Ooo we ain’t forget.”

“No need to remind nobody.”

Among the “reminder” comments, a couple of people mentioned Anthony’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Los Angeles Lakers player Carmelo Anthony. One wrote, “Mel fumbled the bag.” Another stated, “How can any man cheat on this woman s–t crazy.”

La La, who filed for divorce earlier this year, opened up about the former couple’s split timeline during an October interview with Angie Martinez. The “Power” star and Carmelo started dating in the early 2000s, welcomed their son Kiyan Anthony in 2007 and later married in 2010. 

In 2017, rumors began circulating that La La and Carmelo were separating because the basketball player allegedly cheated and fathered a child with another woman. The cheating accusation was never confirmed or denied by Carmelo. La La informed Martinez that before the filing for divorce earlier this year, the exes hadn’t been together for quite some time.

She said, “To a lot of people it feels like this single thing is new. It’s been years now that we’ve separated and stuff. So I’ve dealt with the emotions behind it, and I still have my moments, but for the most part I can talk about it now and laugh about it and find the humor in it all. Otherwise, I would be a basket case. I already went through that.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
