Throwback Thursday #TBT: The Style Evolution of Lala Anthony

Lala Anthony has long been on Fashion Bomb Daily’s radar for her amazing style, witty personality, and frankly, her #Boss lifestyle. Whether you know her through her work on MTV, being a radio personality host, her book, or even just watching her on Power, Lala has developed her signature style over the years both on and off camera.

Starting her entertainment career and growing prominence as an MTV VJ on Total Request Live back in the early 2000s, Lala Anthony has gone on to inspire women of all colors, shapes, sizes and ethnicities (any proud Afro-Puerto Ricans out there?!) that dreams are in fact achievable with hard work and time.

But of course, we have to also commend the style evolution of one of Hollywood’s hottest women of color. Come on a stroll with us as we do a Throw Back Thursday #TBT and take a look back on some of Lala’s wardrobe choices over the years.

Rock it or Knock It? Fendi’s Furry Feet

1 Fendi's Furry Feet

Designers from Celine to Gucci to department stores in between have been incorporating fur in their footwear.  We’ve seen slip on sandals, heels, and loafers from past seasons, turn fuzzy footwear into one of the hottest trends.  Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Venturini Fendi, creative directors for Fendi, are turning up the heat next fall with their 2016 sneaker collection that will be debuted along with unique coat-like bathrobes and platform slippers.

This collection adds the right pop of color for the fall season and is sure to be a street style fave.

Would you rock it? Or knock it?
