Look, we ask about race because we love labels. We love to put people in neat little mental boxes. But Lara? She laughs at our boxes. She takes those boxes, remixes them, and dances on top of them.
Honestly, trying to pin down her look is a fool’s errand. Is she this? Is she that? No, she’s just Lara. She has that unignorable star quality that makes you forget about categories. But since we’re curious cats, let’s look at the evidence.
Clues from the Family Album (Without Being Creepy)
If you go deep enough into her Instagram (you know you want to), you’ll spot her parents. Her mom has that classic Filipina warmth. Her dad has that classic Indian dad vibe. You don’t need a DNA test when the family photos are right there.
She also talks about her heritage. A lot. Which is awesome. She’s proud of her mom’s Filipino lado. She’s proud of her dad’s Indian roots. She’s not hiding anything. She’s wearing her culture like a gorgeous, custom-made jacket.
