Charm La’Donna Competes Against Herself at the 2025 Emmys
Charm La’Donna is having a career-defining year. The Emmy Awards on September 14 will see her in a rare position—competing against herself. She’s nominated twice in the category of Outstanding Choreography for Variety or Reality Programming. Her work on Beyoncé’s unforgettable Beyoncé Bowl performance and Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show has placed her firmly in the spotlight.
The Compton-born choreographer has been behind some of the most iconic moments in music and performance over the past year. Few stars have shaped culture like Beyoncé and Kendrick, and La’Donna’s choreography has been central to both their shows.
Beyoncé Bowl: A Celebration of Movement and Power
The Beyoncé Bowl was more than a concert. It was a spectacle of strength, precision, and cultural pride. La’Donna’s choreography elevated the performance, blending fierce movement with storytelling. Each step, pose, and transition carried Beyoncé’s legacy forward while pushing creative boundaries.
Fans and critics alike hailed the performance as a moment of dominance in live entertainment. By marrying fashion, dance, and power, La’Donna ensured the Beyoncé Bowl would be remembered as one of the year’s most talked-about cultural events.
Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show
Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show stood out for its symbolism and artistry. With La’Donna’s choreography, the performance became more than music—it was a message. Dancers moved in unison to highlight themes of struggle, resistance, and hope.
The show balanced raw intensity with poetic beauty. Many praised the way the choreography captured Kendrick’s words and amplified their impact on one of the world’s biggest stages. As one fan put it: “The symbology of Kendrick’s show was so impactful… I think it should win.”
A Career of Iconic Performances
This isn’t Charm La’Donna’s first time shaping history. She choreographed The Weeknd’s Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2021 and has worked with countless stars across music and entertainment. Yet 2025 stands out as her strongest year yet, with two Emmy-worthy projects that showcase her range and influence.
Industry peers and fans flooded her social media with praise, calling her “That girl” and “a true queen.” La’Donna herself responded with gratitude, writing: “Thank you, I’m so grateful!”
What’s Next for Charm La’Donna
Whether she wins one award or two, Charm La’Donna has already made Emmy history. Competing against herself is a “great problem to have,” as one supporter noted. What’s certain is that her artistry continues to redefine choreography’s role in shaping music, performance, and culture.
