Actor Laverne Cox’s black leather look on the Grammy Awards 2023 red carpet won hearts. However, fans said she needs to work on her hosting skills.
“Laverne Cox is extremely good at red carpet hosting/interviewing, which seems VERY hard. (I would never get past the “anxiously hoiking up my dress” phase to even try to get to the “be warm and natural when talking to random celebrities on camera for hours on end” phase.),” a Twitter user wrote.
“Just because I think Laverne Cox is terrible hosting the red carpet and she’s really bad at this job #Grammys2023 doesn’t mean I’m transphobic,” another one added.

Cox rose to fame with her role as Sophia Burset on the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. She became the first transgender person to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in an acting category. She was also the first to be nominated for an Emmy Award since composer Angela Morley in 1990.
In 2015, she won a Daytime Emmy Award in Outstanding Special Class Special as executive producer for Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word, making her the first trans woman to win the award. In 2017, she became the first transgender person to play a transgender series regular on US broadcast TV as Cameron Wirth on CBS’s Doubt.
In April 2014, she was honored by GLAAD with its Stephen F. Kolzak Award for her work as an advocate for the transgender community. The same year, she became the first transgender person to appear on the cover of Time magazine.

She is also the first openly transgender person to have a wax figure of herself at Madame Tussauds.
The actress has always stunned people with her style. During Christmas last year, the actress shared a photo of herself in a Gucci swimsuit.
“It’s way too cold in NYC. Trying to remember what this beach moment in Anguilla felt like,” the “Orange Is the New Black” actress had captioned a throwback video of herself at the time.
“2022 served up lovely vacay time with the love of my life. #Gratitude,” Cox continued.
