‘That’s How Friends Should Be’: Ciara and La La Anthony Strut the Streets of New York During NYFW

Singer Ciara one, two stepped out hand in hand with her bestie, TV personality turned actress La La Anthony, and the two proved why they are best friends forever as they walked down the streets of New York during New York fashion week rocking Ciara’s clothing brand, “LITA by Ciara.”

Ciara uploaded different clips compiled into one video of her and La La with each other as her unreleased song played in the background. 

In the first clip, Ciara wore a black trench coat with knee-high boots that matched her outfit. Standing right by her side was La La, who wore a tan two-piece set with a slit down the middle of her skirt, Both ladies rocked dark shades, which added an extra razzle dazzle to their outfits.

In the second clip, the “Level Up” singer rocked a black dress while the “BMF” actress rocked an pink two-piece set similar to her tan ensemble with a slit going up on the side. 

“Best Friend energy! Type a vibes we in #BetterThangs #NYFW” Ciara captioned her video. La La commented under her friend’s post, writing, “Better Thangs!” with too many heart eye emojis to count. 

Fans of the two ladies categorized them as bestie goals and commented on their undeniable love for each other that is apparent through viewers’ screens. 

“Love it, that’s how friends should be, hold each other up”

“No one does the streets of New York better than you two together”

“I’m so here for it, y’all are a mood and a vibe!”

Ciara and Anthony have been there for each other through thick and thin and never fail to show their love. The duo is so close that while Ciara guest hosted “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” she brought Anthony onto the daytime production where they had the opportunity to chat about life, love and their children in front of a live audience. 

Anthony even served as a bridesmaid during Ciara’s wedding ceremony that joined her in matrimony with her husband, NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, in 2016.

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.
