When it comes to fashion, no one can leave the Anthony family behind. From Carmelo Anthony being known as one of the best-dressed NBA stars, to his now ex-wife La La Anthony’s penchant for all things fashion and beauty, seldom do they fail to impress. Even their son Kiyan is now a tough competition to his parents, showing up with style and swagger.
Recently, the world got another example of the NBA superstar’s iconic fashion choices when he turned up for Armani’s spring 2025 runway show on Thursday night at the Park Avenue Armory in the City that never sleeps. Donning what the former basketball icon described as a casual yet timeless look, what stole the show was Anthony’s $13,120 diamond-embellished watch, the Hublot King Power 731.NX.1190.RX. The 2013 timepiece is sold out and available through auction in the secondary market. As per EVERYWATCH, the last seen price was $13,120 and can fetch up to $34,800.
Not just that, the watch also has a water-resistant rating of 4000 meters, is also enclosed in a titanium case, and is said to be a scratch resistant Sapphire! Talking about his style, the 10x NBA All-Star and founder of the StayMe7O fashion label, said to WWD, “It’s just me. It’s how I express myself and how I brand myself and kind of just who I am. It’s that same ‘Melo’ moniker of just self-expressing and feeling good about yourself and kind of understanding what’s your lane and having fun in that lane. Tonight, you will see that expression.”

For another huge event in the Big Apple, it was time for La La to turn heads with her outfit. The Council of Fashion Designers of America’s (CFDA) Awards took center stage at New York’s American Museum of Natural History. La La Anthony’s Jacquemus striped black and white dress was part of the 15th-anniversary runway show for Fall/Winter in June 2024. She accessorized it with Alexis Bittar’s pieces. As per Footwear News, the former VJ had three different necklaces: Solanales Gold Tubogas Collar Necklace ($595), Solanales Silver Crystal Skinny Collar ($255), and a Thin Collar Necklace – Silver ($195).
Let’s not forget her Molten Silver Puffy Teardrop Post Earring ($245) and her heels from Alaïa’s Polka-Dot Calf Hair Decollete pumps ($1,610). And the reason behind Melo wearing the watch was pretty simple.

17-year Kiyan Anthony already makes his “One Way” with the business venture
Owning a six-figure business is no small deal, but Kiyaan Anthony is already thriving. How many us can flaunt starting a business just because we were bored? Let’s hear from Kiyan himself how he embarked on such an ambitious journey: “When we started in February of 2023, I had just transferred to my new school and my friend; he was going to college,” Kiyan said. “We didn’t really have nothing to do…We was always into fashion. So we was like, ‘Why don’t we just try a clothing brand and we just did it?’ We went all out, put everything into it and yeah it’s where it’s at now six-figure brand.”
“One Way, it’s a clothing brand but we’re really trying to promote a whole lifestyle, not just clothes,” the youngster further proudly declared while explaining it’s ideology, before adding, “We chose to call it ‘One Way’ because we have learned that there are many routes to achieve happiness and success; no one way is the right way; you have to trust God and the process.” Recently, they even announced a special collaboration with Got Sole, a renowned New York-based sneaker brand. And Papa Anthony is definitely beaming with pride.

“I’m proud of him that he took it upon himself to set a little business up for him and not wait for me or his mom to set it up. It’s like he’s doing himself,” Carmelo Anthony stated. Thanks to his Kiyan’s entrepreneurial mind, he’s now reached NIL valuation of $1.1 million, even before selecting his next move.
Kiyan Anthony also wants to follow in his father’s footsteps and work with the Michael Jordan brand. So, it’s clear apart from the on-court activities, the son of Carmelo and La La Anthony is fully focused on building a business.
