It’s Halloween!
Beloved celeb Lala Anthony broke the internet with her costume.
Lala had “never been to a carnival,” so she brought the festivities to her this year. The television presenter/actress dressed as a masquerade for the West Indian tradition known as carnival or mass. Lala went all out, wearing a bedazzled lilac bikini, complete with large feathers on her back.
In the caption, the Power actress said: “I’ve never been to Carnival so I brought Carnival to me. HAPPY HALLOWEEN.” Take a look:
Celebrities showered her with love. Chloe Bailey said, “THAT,” Ciara wrote, “WOW WOW WOW she killed it!” and Lala’s girlfriend Kim said, “my inspo next year.” Lala’s son Kiyanne showed his mum some love and commented: “I can see it coming.”
Other netizens felt that Lala was disrespecting western Indian culture. One person said, “our culture is not a costume.”
The celebration of Carnival began during slavery when slaves, who were forbidden to attend their masters’ fancy parties, improvised by organizing their own costumed event in their quarters. Carnival is usually celebrated around the season of Lent, and is also a way to celebrate before fasting.
Lala announced to fans in the comments section that she will be going to the carnival next season, so we can see her in another beautiful costume. She recently opened up about her dating life and revealed that as a woman in her 40s, she is attracting men in their 20s. Because of the age difference, she hasn’t found anything serious, but is open to trying new things.
During the conversation, Lala also said that she would never date a basketball player again. However, she is open to dating athletes.
