Well, the anal fin of a male and female looks different.
Overhere a picture I've made with the difference between male and female ovoviviparous livebearers (where platies also belong to):

It’s a male platy. If you get more platys then I recommend two or more females since male livebearers harass females. Female platys are just as pretty as the males though!
 
Here is a short video of my coral red platies...
