Why Tracee Ellis Ross is One of Our Favorite Style Stars

When it comes to fashion, the actress never misses.

Maybe it’s because she’s the daughter of legendary singer/actress Diana Ross, but for Tracee Ellis Ross, great style just seems to come naturally. Always setting trends and never afraid to push the envelope with colors and patterns, we look forward to seeing whatever Ross is wearing whenever she steps outside of the house.
