Molly Qerim knows how to command attention, and this Friday’s episode of First Take was no exception. The longtime ESPN host returned to the studio with her usual poise and a look that sparked plenty of buzz across social media.
After taking a brief break from the show earlier this month, Qerim, 41, stepped back before the camera last week. While she managed a slight cough upon her return, it didn’t slow her down. This week, she anchored every episode with her trademark presence and kept the fiery sports debates moving with ease. But by Friday, it wasn’t just the basketball chatter or Stephen A. Smith’s hot takes that had fans talking.
Qerim wore a sleek brown dress on Friday’s show, and fans wasted no time sharing their thoughts online. Her look quickly drew praise, overshadowing even the Knicks’ win over the Pacers that had the panel fired up earlier in the morning.

It wasn’t just a fleeting moment. Qerim’s style has regularly turned heads during her tenure at ESPN, and her fashion choices continue to earn attention without overshadowing her role at the desk. Since taking over as host in 2015, the UConn alum has brought both substance and polish to First Take, keeping the show sharp, quick-paced, and viewer-focused.
Behind the scenes, Qerim remains just as active. Off camera, she supports organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of America and the Innocence Project, often using her platform to highlight causes close to her. Occasionally, she weaves in personal insights during the show, giving fans a glimpse beyond the camera.
Qerim returns to First Take on Monday at 10 a.m. ET. Whether it’s leading the discussion or making a fashion statement, it remains to be seen.
