There seems to be a pattern when it comes to La La Anthony, Gabrielle Union Wade, and star-studded events. Think back to the 2025 Met Gala. That night, they both stole the show, turning the red carpet into a runway of their own. Gabrielle floated in with elegance in a strapless black gown, trailing a long white floral train that matched the blossoms in her hair. Meanwhile, La La brought a whole different energy, rocking a dramatic black jumpsuit. The wide-leg pants and belted waist were already statement enough, but the Atelier Biser corset and waves of gray fabric added an eye-catching twist. They clearly understand the assignment every single time—and this week, they were back at it again.

Under one roof, in yet another glamorous setting, Gabrielle Union Wade and La La Anthony turned heads all over again. This time, the update came straight from Gabrielle Union Wade’s Instagram, where she dropped a carousel post packed with celebrity power.

“When the clique matches every click thanks to @airbnb Services. Needless to say, they “brought it” with this Summer Release event,” she wrote, giving followers a glimpse into the event hosted by none other than Airbnb—the $71.06 billion brand.

Alongside Gabrielle and La La? Icons like Ciara, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kelly Rowland. And if that wasn’t enough, the crowd also included familiar names like retired soccer star Ashlyn Harris, actress-turned-businesswoman Jessica Alba, and more.

According to Latin Times, this marked a pivotal moment for Airbnb. Seventeen years after launching its platform for vacation rentals, the company unveiled what it’s calling its most significant reinvention yet at the Summer 2025 Launch in Los Angeles. It’s a bold move from the brand that redefined travel back in 2007 by turning ordinary homes into hotel alternatives. This time, Airbnb is reaching far beyond lodging.

The event introduced the world to a reinvented platform—one that caters to travelers who want more than just a place to sleep. Now, with Airbnb Services, guests can elevate their stay with offerings like personal chefs, makeup artists, wellness coaches, elite fitness trainers, and even photographers, all bundled under ten curated categories. No wonder they went all in on star power for this recent event in LA. And managing to steal the spotlight in their own right? Gabrielle Union Wade, and La La Anthony. However, for Anthony, this could’ve been much more than just another event.

La La Anthony has previously put her talent and skills to use for Airbnb

Not long ago, La La Anthony took on a fresh challenge—and it’s not what you’d typically expect from a media personality. Just last year, she officially stepped into a new role as a creative adviser for Airbnb. With years of experience in the entertainment world and strong Hollywood ties, Anthony brought a powerful blend of insight and influence to the global platform, helping shape experiences that go far beyond just booking a stay.

“I get to help Airbnb with their strategic alignment with entertainment partners, celebrities, influencers, studios, production companies, all that stuff. I’m excited about bringing some really cool activations and experiences that we can all be a part of to get closer to our favorite movies, our favorite celebrities, our favorite music albums,” Anthony told WWD.

And was in no mood to stop there. La La Anthony saw this as a real chance to bring fresh energy and cultural representation into Airbnb’s offerings. “We want to create more tailor-made experiences that resonate with different communities culturally. That’s really, really important to me and something I’m excited to dive into,” she said. So her presence at their Summer Release should not come as a surprise. As for Gabrielle Union Wade, it seems she was there mainly for her star presence.
