Before she was Giuliana Rancic, wife to Bill Rancic, mom to Duke, host of E! News and Fashion Police, journalist & reality star extraordinaire, she was plain old Giuliana DePandi! She was always gorgeous & always hilarious, so for today’s #FirstFriday, let’s take a look back at when Giuliana FIRST burst onto the scene as E!’s go-to reporter to the stars.

November 2003: And lest we forget, Bill wasn’t the only man who captured her heart. For several years, she dated actor Jerry O’Connell (pre-Rebecca Romijn, of course) and rocked a KILLER jean onesie. So 2003, so good.
