“The Magic Touch: La La Anthony Bewitches in ALAÏA at ‘Wicked’ Premiere”
In a moment that seemed plucked from the Emerald City itself, La La Anthony graced the “Wicked” New York screening at the Museum of Modern Art last evening, orchestrating a masterclass in modern feminine refinement. The screening, hosted by fashion’s sovereign Anna Wintour, transformed Manhattan’s MoMA into a sartorial wonderland where Hollywood and haute couture converged in a spectacular display of pink and green chromatics.
Anthony, ever the style savant, opted for an ALAÏA creation that whispered rather than shouted, proving once again why she remains a fixture in fashion’s upper echelons. The piece in question – a soft pink maxi dress that married athletic sensibility with ballroom grace – demonstrated the house’s masterful understanding of the female form. The funnel neck ascended with architectural precision, while the open back delivered the kind of dramatic reveal that has become synonymous with red carpet excellence.
The ensemble’s true virtuosity lay in its deliberate juxtaposition: a sleeveless silhouette that celebrated strength, paired with a diaphanous skirt that danced with every step. This duality of powerful and ethereal elements created a modern fairytale moment that felt perfectly aligned with the evening’s theatrical undertones.
In a stroke of styling brilliance, Anthony elevated the look – quite literally – with Le Silla’s Eva pumps in a harmonious pink palette. These 100mm masterpieces, crafted from buttery lambskin leather, represented Italian craftsmanship at its zenith. The pointed toe silhouette, a perennial favorite among fashion’s cognoscenti, extended Anthony’s frame while the 3.9-inch stiletto provided the architectural foundation this ethereal look demanded.
The entirety of the ensemble was crowned with Anthony’s platinum blonde tresses, styled in an innovative high-low configuration with waterfall bangs that framed her face like a modern-day Glinda. Cat-eye sunglasses added that essential touch of Hollywood mystique, completing a look that balanced fantasy with urban sophistication.
The screening itself was a parade of industry luminaries, with Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum, and Jonathan Bailey leading a cast of fashion-forward attendees. Notable guests including June Ambrose and Lea Michele paid homage to the production’s signature color scheme, creating a visual symphony in various interpretations of pink and green.
In a sea of notable appearances, Anthony’s look stood out for its restraint and refinement – a reminder that in the realm of high fashion, sometimes the most spellbinding statements are made in whispers rather than shouts.
