Laverne Cox poses as Statue of Liberty
By Ben Kelly
Laverne Cox has posed as the Statue of Liberty on the new cover of Entertainment Weekly. The breakthrough transgender star is seen dressed as one of the ultimate American icons, in the latest in a long line of historic magazine covers for the actress.
The headline on the cover reads ‘America’s Transformation’, in a reference to the country’s fast growing understanding of the transgender experience, through individuals like Cox, and of course, Caitlyn Jenner, whose Vanity Fair cover ‘broke the Internet’ last week.
Cox also made headlines when she appeared on the cover of TIME in May 2014. She is also back starring in the new season of Orange Is The New Black, which went live on Netflix this weekend.
