La La Anthony Opens Up About Fashion Lessons from Son Kiyan Ahead of Rookie Kids Fashion Show
La La Anthony recently shared insights about how her son Kiyan has influenced her fashion sense as she prepares to host the 14th Rookie Kids Fashion Show in Los Angeles on September 26. The 18-year-old, whom she shares with ex-husband Carmelo Anthony, first took to the runway at this event in 2015, and since then, the mother-son duo has been swapping style tips.
In an exclusive chat with ET, the 42-year-old television star revealed that Kiyan keeps her updated on the latest fashion trends. “We bond over fashion,” she expressed, noting that he helps her stay stylish and in the know. The best fashion advice she imparts to him? To always embrace individuality. “It’s fine to follow trends, but loving what you wear is crucial. When you feel good in your outfit, it shows,” she remarked.
La La disclosed that her own style has transformed over the years, admitting that she sometimes revisits older photos and wonders, “What was I wearing?” Her current fashion philosophy leans toward cozy but edgy ensembles. Her fall staple includes “a really fly sneaker” paired with denim-on-denim, which she considers a classic that can be dressed up or down.
While La La enjoys feeling sexy, she identifies as a tomboy at heart, prioritizing comfort in her wardrobe. As she navigates her own fashion journey, Anthony’s experiences with Kiyan highlight the evolving nature of personal style and the bonds that come with it.
