Tracee Ellis Ross has an endless love for fashion.
The trailblazing 48-year-old star stunned in a white Alexander McQueen ensemble with thigh-high leather boots as she accepted the Fashion Icon Award at the 2020 People’s Choice Awards on Sunday, November 15.
“Tracee, do you take fashion to be your lawfully wedded wife? I do,” she joked at the start of her acceptance speech. “Thank you for validating my shopping habit.”
In addition to thanking the magazine industry and the stylists and designers she’s worked with over the years, she also paid homage to her mother, superstar Diana Ross.
“Obviously, I have to thank the icon herself, my mom. Not only for her great parenting and not acquiescing to my many whimsical and outrageous requests and tantrums … but also her style, her epic closet and glamour that introduced me to the power of fashion,” Tracee shared.
While her mother once denied her request for a “seasonal shopping budget,” Tracee went on to call the singer’s closet “the best fashion playground of all time.”
She recalled scanning the stage after Diana’s performances and gathering beads that fell off of her dresses, “so that I could have pieces of the magic, seeds of the fashion dream that I was cultivating for myself.”
Whether she’s hitting the red carpet in Valentino and Chanel or championing young black designers like Christopher John Rogers and Pyer Moss’ Kerby Jean-Raymond, Tracee Ellis Ross never looks less than flawlessly dressed. Here, a look at her best red carpet fashion moments over the years.
