Laverne Cox is reacting to being mistaken for Beyoncé at the U.S. Open. The “Orange Is The New Black” star took to Instagram on Monday to share a viral tweet from someone who thought she was Queen Bey.
Laverne Cox's response after being called Beyoncé? Flawless.
The "Inventing Anna" star inadvertently became a trending topic on Twitter when she stepped out on Aug. 29 to support Serena Williams at the 2022 US Open. During the sporting event at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City, the actress wore a black face mask, hoop earrings and styled her hair in a low ponytail. After being spotted in the stands, one Twitter user captioned a clip of the star, "#Beyonce at the #USOpen."
