La La Anthony and Her Noir Ponytail Just Kicked Off Met Gala 2024
The Metropolitan Museum of Art steps are synonymous with grandeur, glitz, and glamour. As the curtain rose on the Met Gala 2024, every detail was meticulously crafted to capture attention. This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” with a dress code “The Garden of Time,” invited guests to reimagine fashion through an ethereal lens. Among the star-studded arrivals, television personality and evening red carpet correspondent La La Anthony took center stage with her noir-inspired ensemble, embodying the essence of a romantic femme fatale.
Anthony’s Noir-Inspired Ensemble
La La Anthony’s look was an intricate homage to the allure and mystique of noir aesthetics. She embraced this theme by pairing black lace layers with a gown featuring screen-printed blooms, creating a juxtaposition between darkness and nature. The pièce de résistance was her sleek mod ponytail tied in a black satin ribbon—a nod to classic film noir styling that immediately set her apart.
The Power of the Ponytail
Her high-slung, polished ponytail with fluid edges added an extra dimension of drama, framing her face and enhancing her makeup. This wasn’t just any ponytail; it was a statement—a symbol of strength and sophistication that complemented her entire look.
A Bold Beauty Statement
La La’s beauty look was every bit as bold as her outfit, embracing the evening’s theme with aplomb. Makeup artist Rokael masterfully crafted an ombré lip that blended mocha edges into a stunning apricot-nude center, providing a luminous finish accentuated by a dusting of bronze shimmer.

The Essence of Exaggeration at the Met Gala
In a night where exaggeration is celebrated, La La Anthony’s hair ribbon was more than an accessory—it encapsulated the spirit of her look. By leaning into the surreal aspects of her ensemble, she elevated the theme, embodying not just fashion but character. The evening thrives on this blend of costuming and personal flair, inviting guests to fully immerse themselves in their chosen personas.
