Revered actor LaKeith Stanfield left social media in tatters when he appeared on the cover of Replica Magazine dressed in knee-high stockings and women’s high-heel boots.
LaKeith Stanfield in stockings shakes the internet
The 30-year-old star of Atlanta is the face of the magazine’s latest issue, and in a number of shots that surfaced online, he is seen wearing female undergarments, including a pair of high-heel leather boots and a women’s satin gown.
In the 10th issue of the London-based magazine, Stanfield spoke to Mahoro Seward about his work ethic and ambition as a Hollywood mainstay.
“I approach everything as if it’s my last day on earth. 100 percent ambition and preparation meets decades of soul searching and spirit reaping,” he said.
Rumours have swirled in the past about whether the 30-year-old star “bats for the other team,” and this latest shoot does not hold up a good argument for the contrary.
Alas, the images surfaced on social media and here’s how users reacted:

This looks like hazing to me. 😂 Hollyweird has had Lakeith Stanfield looking all kinds of goofy ever since he publicly called out all these“black” imports that disrespect Black Americans while seeking to portray our historical figures on screen. https://t.co/Thz1tCl9oC
