Grammys 2022: Laverne Cox, 49, flashes lingerie beneath sheer black gown and dons purple wig
Transgender trailblazer Laverne Cox flashed her black bra and panty beneath a completely see-through black gown at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, which took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday.
The Daytime Emmy winner – turning 50 next month – left little to the imagination in the mesh dress, which featured short sleeves and floral lace embellishment at the top.
‘In some ways, I feel like I’m in the prime of my life. I think I look better than I’ve ever looked, and I’ve evolved so much. I’m turning 50 with some wisdom. I know some things, which is really nice. Could I know more? Absolutely. But I’m moving through the world with integrity, and that’s something I’m proud of,’ Laverne (born Roderick) said in the April edition of Health Magazine.
Werrrk! Transgender trailblazer Laverne Cox flashed her black bra and panty beneath a completely see-through black gown at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, which took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday
‘It’s a miracle that I’m a black transgender woman from Mobile, Alabama, who has managed to not just survive, but thrive. I’ve had a lot of guilt around that – because I’m aware that there are a lot of black trans people who are suffering. I’ve had to let go of that. I’m insanely grateful. I have to enjoy it – life is too short.’
Cox paired her sheer frock with black ankle-strap heels and diamond jewelry selected by stylist Christina Joy Pacelli.
Hairstylist César DeLeön Ramîrez coiffed the Inventing Anna actress’ long purple wig, which was styled in a partial updo and topped with bobby pins and a fishnet fascinator.
Make-up artist Deja Smith fully contoured Laverne’s complexion with a pencil-thin brow, purple eye shadow, and vampy pout for the CBS telecast.

Cox famously replaced Giuliana Rancic in January as one of the three red-carpet hosts for Live From E!
The iHeartRadio podcaster interviewed celebs like Olivia Rodrigo, who’s nominated for seven trophies – including record of the year, album of the year, and best new artist.
‘What I’ve learned doing my podcast, The Laverne Cox Show, is that I talk a lot. But it’s important when I’m interviewing people that I listen,’ Laverne told Health.

‘Just wrapped #uglies!’ Laverne will next portray a mystery role in McG’s feature film adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s 2005–2007 dystopian fantasy bestseller Uglies, which will eventually stream on Netflix (pictured December 19)
‘It seems simple, but that’s important – to be curious and to let them talk. Some people are going to give you a little bit more than others will, and it is my job to make everyone at ease so they can give the best inter view possible. You have to be so incredibly present.’
Cox will next portray a mystery role in McG’s feature film adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s 2005–2007 dystopian fantasy bestseller Uglies, which will eventually stream on Netflix.
The everyone is pretty movie – which was shot in December in Atlanta – also stars Joey King, Keith Powers, Brianne Tju, and Chase Stokes.
