Though she’s one many might not expect to see at the Met, La La Anthony still attended.

The ex-wife of former NBA star Carmelo Anthony interviewed celebrities walking the red carpet, but she did it while wearing a stunning dress of her own.

Anthony showed up in a red Laquan Smith gown and took a 21st-century approach to the Gilded Age theme.

Her silhouette was in keeping with the bygone times, but she added some sex appeal with cutouts around her waist. She also donned a fun metal hat by Laurel DeWitt in a unique spiral shape.

Anthony was then fortunate enough to receive exclusive information from stars about their takes on the theme and got the exclusive scoop from Kim Kardashian on her Marilyn Monroe dress.

La La Anthony was a guest host on E! Fashion Police in August 2013. Before her arrival on the set, the 34-year-old TV personality shared some photos on Instagram of her gorgeous outfit on the show.

She posed alongside the show’s hosts and with rapper Big Sean.

La La was va-va-voom in a V-neck black leather dress by Givenchy, and her side-swept wavy tresses and dark eye makeup made her look seductive.

The outfit was completed with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels featuring crocodile-embossed leather front straps, black mink fur ankle straps, gold-tone logo-engraved hardware at the ankles, back zipper fastening, and 5.5-inch stiletto heels.

They’re from the designer’s Fall 2013 collection, which explains the fur detail. Unfortunately, this style has sold out, but you can find more recent shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti on Amazon and Farfetch.
