One of the best looks of the 2025 Met Gala came from inside the house. Of course, I’m talking about Vogue’s red-carpet host La La Anthony.
In honor of this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” celebrating the cultural impact and sartorial evolution of the Black dandy, Anthony dressed in archival Off-White by the late designer Virgil Abloh. The 43-year-old actor and TV personality held court on the red carpet, conducting celebrity interviews while dressed in a recreated look from Off-White’s Fall-Winter 2020 collection.
Apropos of the “Tailored For You” dress-code, La La Anthony wore an archival piece featuring a white tulle dress over a strapless black bustier and tuxedo pant, creating the effect of a half-gown, half-suit look. Anthony finished off the look with a pointed shoe and plenty of diamonds.
“It’s an actual piece of fashion history,” Anthony told Vogue of the piece. “The full-on gown, mixed with a sharp tailored pant, is a completely unexpected contrast that makes the look unforgettable. It’s glam but with edge—so me.”
