La La Anthony makes a return to her MTV roots — this time, however, she's the one answering questions, not asking them.
On this week's episode of "When I Was 17""When I was 17," airing Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV, La La recalls a hairstyle that now has her asking: "What was I thinking?" The former MTV VJ is often seen cheering on new hubby and New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony sporting her long, enviable locks courtside, but she remembers a time when her hair wasn't always at the top of its game.
The style she's referring to was inspired by T-Boz of TLC fame. "It was like the mushroom cut with two strands of hair hanging here on the sides," she dishes on the all-female episode, also featuring high school confessions from "Harry's Law" actress Brittany Snow and "Pretty Little Liars" star Ashley Benson.
While TLC were urging music fans not to chase waterfalls, it seems that girls all over were chasing their sense of style. La La was not alone in emulating T-Boz's 'do; she remembers walking into her hairdresser, and she knew instantly the style that she was asking for. "That was one of the most popular haircuts at the time," Anthony laughed. "I thought I was the coolest thing walking."
The stylish star revealed high school photos of her and the hairstyle, and she admits that her opinion about the style has drastically changed. "Now, looking back, I'm like, 'It looked great on her ... not so much on me.' "
"When I Was 17" — this week featuring La La Anthony, Brittany Snow and Ashley Benson — airs on Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.
