Lori Loughlin hit the red carpet on Wednesday night with the wives of her тАЬFull HouseтАЭ co-stars, honouring the late┬аBob Saget┬аat a fundraising event.

The actress posed alongside SagetтАЩs widow,┬аKelly Rizzo, and┬аJohn StamosтАШ wife,┬аCaitlin McHugh, in a floor-length halter gown as the trio smiled arm-in-arm for photographers. Rizzo wore a camel-coloured high-neck dress with ruching, while McHugh opted for a dark floral midi with a thigh-high slit.

LoughlinтАЩs appearance comes as it was announced that she had┬аscored her first new movie role┬аfollowing┬аher involvement┬аin┬аa 2019 college admissions scandal.

Rizzo served as co-chair for the┬аScleroderma Research FoundationтАШs Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine Event, which was hosted by┬аJimmy Kimmel,┬аJohn Mayer┬аand Jeff Ross. Saget had long been a supporter of the┬аcause тАФ and host of the annual fundraising event тАФ after losing his sister to the disease in 1994.

Stamos took the stage at one point,┬аaccording to The┬аHollywood Reporter,┬аto share a tribute video for Saget. тАЬIтАЩve spoken so much about him, written so much about him, and I just love him so dearly I would give anything to have him back,тАЭ he said of his late friend.

Another of SagetтАЩs longtime friends,┬аDave Chappelle, was among the nightтАЩs performers. He┬аdeclared┬аduring his set,┬атАЬTonight I got drunk because I love Bob so much. Bob, I can feel you in this room tonight.тАЭ

Saget first rose to fame in 1987 when he was cast as Danny Tanner on тАЬFull HouseтАЭ. Two years later, he cemented his fame as the host of тАЬAmericaтАЩs Funniest Home VideosтАЭ.

He┬аdied in January┬аin a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. The cause of death was initially unknown, but his family┬аlater announced┬аan autopsy revealed head trauma. тАЬHe accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep,тАЭ┬аthe statement read. тАЬNo drugs or alcohol were involved.тАЭ

Loughlin starred opposite Saget as Becky Donaldson Katsopolis in both the original тАЬFull HouseтАЭ and its 2016 Netflix reboot, тАЬFuller HouseтАЭ.

Following her involvement in the┬аOperation Varsity Blues scandal, Loughlin┬аbegan her sentence┬аof┬аtwo months in prison and┬аtwo years of supervised release in October of 2020.┬аShe┬аwas also ordered to pay a fine of $150,000┬аand complete 100 hours of community service.┬аShe┬аwas released┬аless than two months later.

Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, paid $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters, Isabella and Olivia Jade, admitted to the University of Southern California as recruits for the crew team, though neither of them┬аhad ever participated in the sport.┬аShe was subsequently fired from all acting roles at the time.

Now, she is starring in her first romantic comedy, тАЬFall Into WinterтАЭ, for Great American Family, and the networkтАЩs CEO has plans to make тАЬAmericaтАЩs sweetheartтАЭ the face of the network.
