Laverne Cox: The Pride Parade’s glamorous grand marshal

She’s the belle of the ball!

Transgender actress Laverne Cox, who plays prison hairdresser Sophia Burset in Netflix’s hit series “Orange is the New Black,” is a glamorous grand marshal at the LGBT Pride Parade Sunday in a fitted salmon dress and carrying a white parasol along Fifth Avenue.

Thousands turned out in their brightest rainbow-themed colors for the two-mile celebration, from Midtown to Greenwich Village, marking the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which spurred the gay-rights movement in 1969.
