Actress Tracee Ellis Ross‘s best style moments live rent-free in our heads!
In the early 2000s, we fell in love with the bright-eyed, big-haired Joan from Mara Brock Akil‘s acclaimed sitcom Girlfriends. Then came the 2010s, when we were introduced to Rainbow in Kenya Barris’s Black-ish. As if each of the classic characters hadn’t won our hearts enough, the woman behind the iconic portrayals made even more of an impact —from the cameras to the carpets.
From her captivating wit down to her effortless slay, Tracee has always been that girl and then some! With the help of her stylist, Karla Welch, the 51-year-old has mastered the art of merging vintage threads with a chic, modern-day twist — and we’re here for every bit of it! Here are 8 of Tracee Ellis Ross’s style moments that still have us in a chokehold!
Tracee Ellis Ross rocked a two-toned pantsuit at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture 2023-2024 Fall/Winter show.
Like mother like daughter? On July 3, 2023, the California native popped out at premier style house Schiaparelli’s fall/winter fashion show in Paris, France. Per Vogue, she wore a piece from their Spring 2023 Ready-to-Wear Collection. Tracee’s gold and white accessories (earrings, shades) were great additions to this fabulous fit! Pricing and exact jewelry details are unknown. Judging by the website, none of Schiaparelli’s upscale clothing appears to be under €1,000.
Tracee Ellis Ross pulled out the faux fur for the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala!
On February 3, 2024, Tracee attended a gala by the non-profit organization Fifteen Percent Pledge at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. Per fan account @traceeellisrossstyle, Auntie rolled up in Fear of God’s Shearling Lapelless Overcoat (around $12,000) and paired it with the Undone Corset ($400) from luxury line Déhanche. Tracee also sported Mara Paris’ Wave Earrings, Gold Plated ($379), and Christian Louboutin’s So Kate 120 Leather Pumps ($795).
The Hollywood icon slayed this YSL x Prada look.
While still in France for Schiaparelli’s Haute Couture event, the TV phenomenon posted up in Yves Saint Laurent Straight Leg Lace Pants (research tells us they’re valued at $1,500-3,000) and a tux jacket, Prada Embroidered Lace Midi-Dress ($4,200) and Bottega Veneta pumps. Per the website, Bottega Veneta’s heels range from $650 to $3,500.
Tracee Ellis Ross wearing BALMAIN was a LEWK!
Tracee hit the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party wearing a stunning layer from Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing’s Fall/Winter 2023 Collection. She topped it off with shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti (not captured) and Boucheron’s Serpent Bohème Solarité Hoop Earrings ($50,600).
She promoted the final season of Black-ish in a beaded dress by Kevin Germanier.
On April 19, 2022, Tracee took to her Instagram to share flicks of a feathered, silver-beaded dress by ex-Louis Vuitton designer Kevin Germanier. The detailing of the up-cycled fit + the yellow pumps by Christian Louboutin = EVERYTHING! A Slaycee flaunted Kevin’s work during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The cost is unknown, but similar dresses on his website are priced at €1,200.
Tracee Ellis Ross gave Golden Goddess at the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
This couture stunner came from Zuhair Murad. On February 9, 2020, the Pattern Beauty owner graced the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet and completely stole the show! Again, we’re not sure how many coins were spent on this one, but we can assume it was a pretty penny! Things Tracee did: THAT.
She’s definitely Diana Ross’s daughter!
Tracee went big and bold for her mother’s 75th birthday party in March 2019. The bright-orange feather coat from Marc Jacobs’ Spring 2019 Collection set her Versace-crafted, sparkly dress and Christian Louboutins on fire. The price: expensive.
We can’t forget when Tracee Ellis Ross wore Moschino to the Met Gala!
On May 6, 2019, Tracee was a work of art at the Met Gala… literally. She arrived in custom couture designed by former Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott. The ballroom ensemble was an ode to famed Black artist Lorraine O’Grady’s Art Is (1983), which captured individuals in gold frames at Harlem’s African American Day Parade. Tiffany & Co. provided her with simple silver jewelry to accompany the look. Price: rich people’s business.
