‘Yes Ms. Cherry’: La La Anthony’s New Hair Color Leaves Fans In a Frenzy

La La Anthony showed off her fresh cherry bomb hair in her new Instagram reel video. The video first showed the “Power” actress in a T-shirt and colorful bottoms as she ran her hands through the crimson color. The reel video then transitioned to her being in a vehicle wearing a skintight, all-red jumpsuit. 

The TV personality played “Keeps On Fallin’” by Babyface featuring Ella Mai in the background of her video and captioned it, “Ladies don’t forget, girls like you make the [globe emoji] [red heart] go round.” She made sure to tag Babyface and Ella Mai in her caption; both Babyface and Ella Mai commented on La La’s video.

“Yes [heart eyes] yes [heart eyes] yes!” Ella Mai wrote underneath the video. 

“Beautiful” Babyface said. 

The two singers weren’t the only celebrities who showed La La love. 

“My Baby!” said rapper Foxy Brown

“Stunning,” wrote Khloe Kardashian

Film director Anthony Hemingway stepped in the comments section as well and gave the actress an immense amount of heart eyes. 

Fans also displayed their love for La La’s different look in her comments. 

“Yes! Love that hair color on you La!”

“Yess Ms. Cherry! I love this color on you!”

“Keep the red all summer! [fire emojis].”

“At this point just throw my whole neck away!! [heart eyes] [fire emoji]”

“Red hearts for the red baby!! [red hearts]”

This reel video, which received over 29,000 likes, is not the first one “The Chi” actress has done. Her most-viewed reel is a video from March where she can be seen in a Chanel outfit with a burgundy hairstyle that included a deep side part. 

La La had the audio, “Snatched His Soul” by Makayla Marley playing in the background and the reel scored six million views along with over 600,000 likes. 

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.
