Event Description
Lilliana Vazquez, GWSB BBA ‘02, style expert and entrepreneur, joins us for the next installment in our series, GW InfluenceHer. Ms. Vazquez will share the stories behind her GW experiences and the professional journey that began with a small blog now seen by millions daily on numerous platforms.
Vazquez was previously the host of E! Entertainment's daily morning shows E! News and Pop of the Morning, the first and only Latina to hold the role in the show's 30 year history. Today, she leads a new team as both producer and host for E!'s newest show, Pop on Peacock, produced exclusively for NBC's Peacock streaming service.
For the previous five years Vazquez was also a regular contributor on Today where she shared her experiences and expertise with millions of viewers each week, covering the latest in technology, business, travel, entertainment, and lifestyle. As a correspondent for Access Daily and Access Hollywood, she brought wit and passion to Hollywood’s most-watched red carpets, from the Oscars to the Golden Globes, and gave viewers entree into the lives of the biggest names in entertainment.

In 2008, she launched her bargain-hunting blog, CheapChicas.com (now theLVGuide.com), where she offers innovative ideas on how to shop smart along with a fresh perspective on fashion. To mark the 5th anniversary of the blog, Vazquez released the ultimate bargain-hunting guidebook, The Cheap Chica’s Guide to Style: Secrets to Shopping Cheap and Looking Chic (Penguin). Last year, in a partnership with Kohl’s, she launched The Outfit Bar, a first-of-its-kind in-store shopping experience featuring hand-picked looks curated by Vazquez for every occasion.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas to a Puerto Rican father and Mexican mother, Vazquez is first-generation Latinx, and among the first in her family to attend college. She received her BBA in international business and entrepreneurship from the GW School of Business in 2002.
