Giuliana Rancic isn’t going to police the red carpet.
That’s why the Fashion Police alum—who spent 20 years covering award shows, premieres and more celebrity events for E! before her 2021 exit—is open to the growing wave of influencers serving as red carpet correspondents.
“It’s not about whether you have a journalism degree or you’ve worked in small markets and worked your way up, or whether you started with a YouTube channel or an Instagram page,” Giuliana exclusively told E! News in a joint interview with her husband Bill Rancic. “I really think it comes down to the personality, the person.”
She continued, “It has everything to do with your personality and how you connect with people, both the person you’re interviewing and the people that are watching you.”
However, the former E! News host also understands why there is resistance to the trend. As she explained, red carpet coverage requires a lot of homework as well.
“I was always very prepared,” she said. “I was doing a news every day—I was naturally in it all the time—so I knew every movie, every TV show, every celebrity because I was interviewing them through the year.”
