La La Anthony, the mother of Syracuse signee Kiyan Anthony, donned a stylish outfit at the 2025 Met Gala in New York on Monday. Furthermore, she paid tribute to late American fashion designer Virgil Abloh.
Following the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, La La wore an Archive Off-White by Abloh with her black tailored satin pantsuit dress, combining it with Jimmy Choo pumps.
She shared a carousel of images on her official Instagram page on Monday, with a heartfelt message for Abloh in the caption.
"MET GALA 2025: Honored to be wearing Archive Off-White by Virgil Abloh. Virgil was a visionary who undeniably changed the game. Thank you to Shannon Abloh, Simon, & The entire @off____white team for allowing me to carry on the Off-White legacy at the Met. This is more than just a look, it’s a tribute."
The 2025 Met Gala was attended by several sports figures, including three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade, 2024 WNBA champion Sabrina Ionescu, six-time WNBA All-Star Breanna Stewart, seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton and two-time NBA champion Norman Nixon, among others.
La La Anthony's rehabilitation program wins social justice award
The American TV personality aimed to provide mentorship, life coaching, legal services and re-entry tools to young men (aged 18–21) incarcerated at Rikers Island, through her rehabilitation program named "ThreeSixty."
The official page of the program shared the news that they had won the JUMP Entertainment & Social Justice Changemaker Award on April 22.
"This work, this fight, this mission isn't about policy and programs. For me, it's about people," said Anthony. "I've sat across countless young men at Riker's Island who are written off before they ever had a chance to write their own future."
