La La Anthony isn't afraid to stand out — as evidenced by her decades-long career, which has seen the multihyphenate embrace a variety of different roles, both onscreen and off. From cohosting a radio show and cementing herself as an indomitable media personality with projects like "Total Request Live" to starring in a slew of popular films and television shows like the Starz hit series "Power" (LaKeisha forever!), Anthony has proven time and time again that her talents can't simply be contained to one set industry or job title — and why should they be?
Anthony's also adopted the role of brand ambassador with PrettyLittleThing, a savvy fashion brand with whom she's released several limited edition capsules.
"PrettyLittleThing is an incredible company to be in partnership with. They are into philanthropy and giving back and a lot of the things that align with what's important to me. And on top of it, they have super cool, edgy, sexy, great fashion that all my friends love and family love to wear," Anthony tells PS.
Much like Anthony, PrettyLittleThing's size-inclusive styles are truly one of a kind, with pieces that range from sexy swimsuits and skin-baring two-piece sets to sheer outfits that are perfect for eveningwear.
Beyond celebrating her work with PrettyLittleThing, we had the opportunity to chat with Anthony about all of the products she's loving these days — from nourishing makeup removing wipes to noise-cancelling headphones. Keep reading to see her picks.

La La Anthony's Affordable Must Have
With this Inala Power Potion Complex Serum ($55), Anthony is proving that quality hair care doesn't have to come at a high cost. Made from a signature rice water and biotin complex, this lightweight serum is designed to stimulate the scalp by nourishing damaged hair follicles, and ultimately helping to strengthen your hair's overall growth. "They're a lifesaver, especially for keeping my edges healthy and growing," Anthony explains.

La La Anthony's Investment Must Have
Given how prominent of a theme music has been throughout Anthony's career, it's understandable why she would consider these Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) Wireless Earbuds ($89, originally $129) to be the ultimate investment must have — so much so, that she even acknowledges that she "will not travel without them," saying: "They get me through every flight because I am able to tune out the noise around me out and either listen to music, watch a movie, or get some rest."

La La Anthony's Morning-Routine Must Have
While Anthony's daily routine can often change depending on her work (or her son's rigorous basketball schedule), she prefers to keep her morning routine simple and to the point — starting with these Neutrogena Cleansing Fragrance Free Makeup Remover Face Wipes ($10, originally $14). "I start every morning and night by cleaning my face, and the first step to my skin-care routine is cleaning it with Neutrogena Makeup Wipes." The compostable wipes are made from an alcohol-free formula that works to deeply cleanse the skin's pores and remove all kinds of stubborn makeup — even waterproof mascara.

La La Anthony's Sleeping Must Have
Whether she's navigating an exhausting work schedule, nursing a bad case of jet lag, or simply trying to ensure she gets a good night's rest ahead of her next big red carpet event, Anthony admits that she has "a hard time sleeping at night" and therefore loves relying on these Lemme Sleep Gummies ($22, originally $30). "Lemme Vitamins help me calm my mind so I can fall asleep," says Anthony. The gluten-free supplements feature ingredients like melatonin, plus an herbal blend of chamomile, lavender, and elderberry, all of which is formulated together to help you fall asleep faster and enjoy a deeper sleep all throughout the night. For the full product details, see our review of Lemme Gummies.

La La Anthony's Travel Must Have
"I'm always traveling for work and it's so important to have reliable luggage that is also chic and stylish," says Anthony — hence where the Rimowa Classic Flight Luggage ($1,525) comes into play. The hardside suitcase is made from a durable aluminum material that's designed to withstand even the most rugged adventures (or flights). Plus, with TSA-approved locks and a functional multiwheel system, it's bound to elevate your next airport excursion for the better.
