‘What Are Those?’: Fans Troll La La Anthony’s Shoes at New York’s ‘Power Book IV: Force’ Premiere

La La Anthony gave us winter fashion on the red carpet at the “Power Book IV: Force” premiere in Manhattan, New York, on Sat., Jan. 29.

The 39-year-old actress went braless underneath a long leather blazer, paired with black high-waisted briefs and an open-toe pair of thigh-high boots.

Anthony, who played LaKeisha in the Starz series, shared photos from the premiere, where she also reunited with “Power” cast member Joseph Sikora, who plays Tommy. She even added a note about how much she “loved” her outfit.

Anthony said, “Even in the snow, I was showing up for my Tommy aka @josephsikora4. Congrats on an AMAZING premiere of your new show FORCE. I’m laughing at the 2nd pic in this slide when you said, ‘Find you somebody that looks at you the way Tommy looks at Lakeisha.’ Last night was so fun. The gang was back together‼️ @50cent, you already know GREEN LIGHT GANG 4L…THEY NOT READY‼️ (Plus, I loved my outfit last night).”

“Power” creator 50 Cent and his girlfriend Cuban Link also attended the “Power Book IV: Force” premiere. Cuban Link took things further, joining fans and fashion lovers in the comments to gush over La La’s outfit. She said, “You know I can’t get over this look.”

Former “Power” star Naturi Naughton added, “You look, gorgeous girl!”

As her career grows, La La Anthony has grown accustomed to hitting the runways and the red carpet in show-stopping outfits and bold shoes. Although most fans complimented how beautiful the former TV personality turned actress looked, many were stuck on the thigh-high boots she wore Saturday night.

“You look fly AF but those shoes???? Ya, they’re not it. Sorry!” wrote one person in the comments, while another boldly asked, “WHAT ARE THOSE?”

A third added, “La La, you are beautiful! The shoes look like a pair of Yeezy gone wrong.”

Meanwhile, dozens were left pondering who helped La La Anthony put her look together.

“Someone update me on these shoes lol? She fire but these kicks I must evaluate further,” said one person, while another wrote, “Umm the shoes look a mess! Who styled her?”

Anthony tagged her entire glam team in the photo, including celebrity stylist Jan-Michael Quammie. Quammie was recently featured in Page Six as a fashion consultant and served as style director of Highsnobiety, according to the Zoe Report.

Away from the fashion side, lately, Anthony has been trying her efforts in the beauty department with her new hair-care line, INALA.

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.
