Dressed in a shimmering metallic gold gown, Coupe stole the spotlight at The Egyptian Theater on Wednesday night. She completed her look with black suede knee-high booties and a draped black mink coat, while her signature blonde locks and a sultry smokey eye added to her glamorous appearance.
Fans quickly noticed how different Coupe looked from her Scrubs days, where she played the sharp-witted, no-nonsense intern-turned-resident at Sacred Heart Hospital.

Though her character often struggled with bedside manner, Coupe became a fan favorite for her sarcastic humor and on-screen romance with medical student Drew Suffin.
Reflecting on her time on Scrubs, she recalled a moment with co-star Sarah Chalke when showrunner Bill Lawrence spontaneously rewrote a scene just minutes before filming. “That’s where I learned that anything can happen in comedy—you better learn it on the fly,” she shared. “I love those guys.”
Eliza Coupe Takes on a New Challenge in The Residence
Following Scrubs, Coupe found sitcom success with her role as Jane Kerkovich-Williams in Happy Endings. Now, she’s diving into the world of mystery drama, portraying Margery Bay Bix in The Residence, a series that explores the hidden lives of White House staff.
With a star-studded cast led by Uzo Aduba, the show blends political drama with dark comedy, offering a twisted murder mystery inspired by Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House.
