Fresh off her Met Gala red carpet walk this week, La La Anthony is back in business. The Met offered only a momentary glimpse of the actress, but La La has something more in store for her fans. She has no intention of limiting her public presence to a single weekend appearance. Instead, she’s gearing up — and it’s with a show her friend Beyoncé adores. Yet, while she delights one friend, she might risk sidelining another. What’s the professional tug-of-war in La La’s life? Let’s dive in.

Those attuned to the cultural pulse know La La has become a defining presence in premium television, bringing complex characters to life in hits like Power, BMF, and The Chi. Her capacity to portray daring yet vulnerable women who deal with the chaos of real-life decisions has really resonated with viewers. What is interesting is that this connection runs all the way to the Queen Bey herself. How so?

Well, the incident dates back to September 2024 when Beyoncé opened up about two of her current favorite shows. In a chat with GQ, “I’m currently watching House of Dragon and The Chi,” Beyoncé said. La La Anthony was bound to find out about this! And her response was: “Incredible moment and feeling.” She added, “Everyone from the cast, the crew, the writers, and Lena put in so much love, energy, time, and commitment. So to hear that is just a testament to how amazing the writing, the acting, and the show is overall.”

Once again, La La has a chance to impress the Queen Bey! This week, she took to her Instagram to share a major work update with her fans. She put up a picture on her Instagram Story of a billboard in Brooklyn, displaying her character from The Chi. “In Brooklyn and seeing THE CHI billboard with me on it was such a crazy surprise today!!!!” she wrote.

La La’s appearance on the poster verifies that Dominique “Dom” Morris is not done yet, and neither is the chaos around her. This is because Season 7 is officially on the way following the June 2024 finale. The new season will be available on May 16, 2025, on Paramount+

What are La La Anthony and Kim Kardashian up to?

As La La is ready to return to The Chi, another high-profile project looks to be developing this time in the realm of fashion, content, or maybe even reality television. Reports suggest they both are collaborating on their new TV series called Group Chat, based on La La’s book The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex and Happiness. Kim is said to be the executive producer of the show. Given their mutual passion for beauty, branding, and breaking the internet, speculation is growing about what precisely they are creating.

The friendship of the couple has been one of Hollywood’s most lasting since long ago, a rarity in the town where friendships change as quickly as fads. From supporting Khloé Kardashian amid the Tristan-Jordyn controversy to Met Gala confrontations to secret roller-disco parties thrown by Beyoncé, La La has become an honorary Kardashian in all but name. Their bond is based on loyalty, lived experience, and resilience with two women who have survived public heartbreak, co-parenting, and media pressure together, being far beyond surface-level glamour.

On this year’s Met, La La paid tribute to Virgil Abloh with a stunning Off-White archival piece, while Kim Kardashian changed the way edgy beauty was worn in Chrome Hearts. Both of them were the talk of the town and caused a media frenzy for their bold appearance. At Teyana Taylor’s special after-party, they were together after the Gala. There were quiet planning meetings, joint meetings, and Instagram posts that hinted at something bigger, but the real power move was when they took off the carpet. Whether it’s a fashion box, a beauty line, or a limited docuseries, La La and Kim are a cultural force that is unbeatable because they have a huge fan base.

Kim and La La’s relationship is based on showing up, not convenience. One example is when Kim and Khloé applauded courtside for La La’s son or when they handled divorce reports side by side. Fans are prepared for whatever follows next because of the complicated past, both beautiful and grounded. Whether on-screen, on a product label, or on TikTok, the La La-Kim link-up promises more than star power; it promises heart.
