Tracee Ellis Ross has been slaying the fashion game for years, and it’s about time she got her flowers! As the daughter of the legendary Diana Ross, Tracee clearly inherited her mother’s glamorous flair and over-the-top style. She’s an effortless slayer. She mixes fabrics and colors, takes risks, and always wears what makes her feel good.
It doesn’t matter the event—Tracee brings her A-game.
Her approach to fashion is iconic. She constantly raises the bar and redefines style. With longtime stylist Karla Welch by her side, Tracee inspires both fashionistas and everyday women to elevate their mood boards and refresh their looks.
On January 3, fashion publication Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) honored Tracee during their first-ever Style Awards, celebrating “the fashion and beauty tastemakers, muses, and legends whose creativity, craft, and style create magic on the red carpet.” The event, held at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, put the spotlight on Tracee, and she was ready to shine!

The Pattern Beauty owner wowed the audience with both her words and her outfit—and we expected nothing less. The Black-ish star chose a bold black and silver Alaïa jumpsuit for the swanky Los Angeles event. The jumpsuit featured small silver grommets and a body-hugging fit that showcased Tracee’s natural curves and hard work in the gym. She accessorized with a black leather belt adorned with fringe-like swoop details and carried a white Alaïa purse to add a pop of sophistication to the ensemble.

During her acceptance speech, Tracee charmed the crowd with her humor and wisdom. “Thanks for looking at my Instagram,” she joked, “and for justifying my shopping habit.”
She went on to share a heartfelt reflection on style: “Style is the confidence that your bones give you to let your heart sing, your soul dance, and your feet walk your own path. It is the way you dress, and it’s the way you live. And if there’s any trail that I blazed, I hope it’s paved with the footprints of my humanity, my service, my wholeness, my accountability, my gratitude, my joy, and my delight.”
Tracee is forever that girl! Congratulations, Tracee!
