Jamie Foxx's daughter, Corinne, will serve as 2016 Miss Golden Globe at the Jan. 10 awards ceremony.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association made the announcement Tuesday night at its party honoring Corinne, and confirmed the news with a tweet and a red-carpet Instagram photo featuring the father-daughter combo and HFPA president Lorenzo Soria.
Selected by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Miss or Mr. Golden Globe often is the child of an industry icon and assists with the ceremony. Corinne, an 18-year-old fashion model who's made multiple appearances as an "Entertainment Tonight" special correspondent, appeared relieved to reveal her exciting secret to 33,000 Twitter followers late Tuesday night.
"FINALLY!" she tweeted. "I am able to announce that I will be Miss Golden Globes 2016. What an amazing honor!"
Her 47-year-old dad, an Academy Award-winning actor for "Ray," beamed with pride on the same social-media circuit.
"[So] proud of my little one for being chosen as Miss Golden Globes," the comedian tweeted to more than 4.5 million followers. "@corinnefoxx can't wait to see you on the stage!"
