Tracee Ellis Ross isn’t just riding the wave of reinvention—she is the wave. At 52, the Emmy-nominated star of Black-ish and iconic Girlfriends alum is rewriting what it means to age, evolve, and absolutely slay while doing it. If you thought she was just taking selfies in couture, you’re mistaken. Tracee is out here dropping wisdom, walking runways, packing like a minimalist (kinda), and reminding us that being single and thriving isn’t a fallback plan—it’s a damn vibe.
Let’s start with her newest gig: solo travel star. Ross is headlining “Tracee Travels”, a new Roku series premiering July 25, where she takes us around the globe with carry-on bags, coconut oil, and charisma. Expect deep thoughts, cute looks, and a masterclass in finding joy—alone.
And don’t let the packing talk fool you. Sis caused a viral stir when she casually mentioned she only takes two pairs of underwear on trips. TWO. But before y’all start judging, she clapped back with her usual grace and humor: “I do check bags, okay? I bring it all.” Mood.
Oh, and did we mention the runway return? After 30 years, Ross stomped down the Marni Fall 2025 catwalk in a high-fashion yellow fantasy, proving that age ain’t nothing but a runway number. It was full-circle fabulousness since she originally debuted on the runway with none other than her mama, Diana Ross, in 1991. That’s generational slayage, honey.
Tracee also hit the 2025 Met Gala in a bubblegum pink Marc Jacobs suit and a hat that screamed, “I’m here, I’m bold, and I read fashion history for fun.” The theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and she nailed it like the style legend she is.
Beyond the glam, Tracee keeps it real. On Michelle Obama’s podcast, she opened up about her choice to remain childfree and unmarried. “There’s grief, sometimes,” she said honestly, “but I won’t settle.” She also admitted she prefers younger men—because they’re more emotionally available. (Tell us something we didn’t know, queen.)
And let’s not forget Pattern Beauty, her haircare line built for curls, coils, and all things texture. Now sold in 11 retailers with 50+ products, the brand is not just a business—it’s a love letter to Black beauty.
So yeah, Tracee Ellis Ross is booked, blessed, and beautifully unbothered. She’s not chasing timelines or begging for approval. She’s laughing, loving, and living loudly. And to that, we say—Still that girl.
