Molly Qerim returned to ESPN’s “First Take” this week after a quiet week away, and though she admitted she was still “on the struggle bus,” fans only saw confidence and style. The longtime moderator, 41, strolled back onto the debate desk like she never left, dressed in a look that sparked instant buzz across social media.
On Wednesday, Qerim rocked a mint green minidress with a white collar, designed by JoosTrictot, and it wasn’t long before her Instagram comments lit up with praise. While she downplayed her energy, the vibe she gave off was anything but low. Viewers immediately embraced her return, not just for the familiar chemistry she brings to the show, but for the effortless fashion statement that got everyone talking.
Fans React To Molly’s Summer Look
Qerim’s followers didn’t hold back once she shared the look on Instagram.
“That color is fire on you,” one fan wrote.
While another added, “Molly your always looking beautiful.”
Some kept it short and sweet, with a simple, “Damn Molly ” punctuated by heart eyes.
Another chimed in with, “Love the green queen Molly.”
And in true sports fan fashion, someone declared, “Hottest Chick in the game!!”
Though her appearance drew plenty of love, Qerim hasn’t shied away from being candid about what’s going on behind the scenes. Back in 2018, she opened up about her ongoing battle with endometriosis- a chronic condition that has required multiple surgeries. At the time, she described it as “a second job” and noted how unpredictable the symptoms can be.
“It can be frustrating at times because you’ll feel really good for a while, and then it hits and it’s like, ‘Ugh! You’re back,’” Qerim explained during a past interview. “So it’s kind of like your body is naturally keeping you in check at all times.”
While she didn’t elaborate on whether her recent absence was health-related, her honesty over the years has made her one of the more relatable faces on ESPN. And even when she’s not feeling her best, fans can count on her to show up, keep the energy high, and, as always, keep Stephen A. Smith on his toes. Her latest look just happened to grab the attention this time.
