Qerim rocked the ensemble for the midweek edition of First Take.
She was joined by Stephen A. Smith and Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo for the recording at ESPN’s Seaport studios in Manhattan.
Molly was praised by viewers for her “fashion game” before sharing more of the outfit with her 675,000 Instagram followers.
Qerim showed off the full look, pairing the red top with a grey skirt and high heels.
The 40-year-old posed indoors before heading out onto the streets of Manhattan.
“September in NYC,” Qerim captioned the sultry photos.
“You are simply stunning,” replied one fan in the comment section.
“The most beautiful woman alive,” added another.
“It’s gotta be a crime for Molly Qerim to be a moderator and that hot at the same time,” gasped a third.
“Whoever marries Molly wins at life,” commented a fourth.
Qerim has been the lead anchor on First Take since 2015.
She initially joined the crew as a temporary host, before making her position permanent months later.
Molly earned her stripes at the University of Connecticut, close to where she grew up in nearby Cheshire.
She obtained a Bachelor of Arts in communications and a minor in business administration from the prestigious school.
Molly’s Miami break
MOLLY Qerim took a break from her First Take duties to head down to Miami.
Qerim cut her teeth in sports broadcasting at ESPN, joining in 2006 and working for four years on their digital platforms.
Molly was formerly married to colleague Jalen Rose after the pair dated for around two years.
They wed in 2018 in a low-key NYC ceremony before jetting off to Turks and Caicos for their honeymoon.
Ultimately, the pair didn’t last the course, with Rose and Qerim divorcing in 2021.
Jalen – a former NBA star – has since spoken out regarding their split and insists it was amicable.
“I got love for her, we were friends before we were married, we just didn’t work as a couple,” he told GQ Magazine.
You can catch Molly every weekday on First Take from 10 am ET on ESPN.
