Laverne Cox is E!’s Live From Red Carpet’s New Host

It was the red carpet shock heard ’round the world last night: Giuliana Rancic, E!’s longtime red carpet host, is stepping down from her coveted role—and transgender star Laverne Cox is taking over, according to Page Six.

The actress shared a sweet post on Instagram following the announcement, thanking Rancic for “setting such a high standard, for years of grace, class, and style.” Cox will now be hosting Live from E!, interviewing celebs and covering awards show style, starting with the 2022 awards season.

“For many years I would wake up early on awards show days, get my snacks in place and watch E!’s coverage all day long. I dreamed of walking red carpets … I can’t wait to get started while hopefully serving up fashion fantasies for the ages, honey,” Cox said in a statement.
