Tracee Ellis Ross Is the Purveyor of the ‘Fashion Bath’
She's the reason why our plans for next weekend include
slipping into a waterless tub
Tracee Ellis Ross taking a “fashion bath.”
Every celeb’s red carpet prep looks different. Some document the
process of putting on face masks or getting luxe facials, while
others change things up entirely with an unexpected activity. Take
Tracee Ellis Ross’s, for
example. The Black-ish star prepped for the
socially-distanced 2020 People’s Choice Awards
by having a glamorous photoshoot in her empty bathtub.
Naturally, the shoot was documented on social media ahead of the
awards show on Sunday, November 15. Ross posed for the camera
wearing a striped, sparkly jumpsuit paired with pink heels. For
accessories, she wore multicolored feathers in her hair. “Taking my
fashion bath for tonight’s festivities …a day worth sparkles and
feathers,” Ross writes in the Instagram slideshow’s accompanying
caption. Indeed, it was a celebratory day because Diana Ross’s
daughter took home the People’s Choice Award for Fashion Icon of
2020.
Ross’s bathtub look was epic, but so were the two outfits she
wore for the awards show, which took place at The Barker Hangar in
Santa Monica, California. For the red carpet, she stunned in a
brown pantsuit by Italian fashion house Schiaparelli and Christian
Louboutin heels. Our favorite part about the look was how she
matched her suit’s gold buttons to her statement earrings.

(Left: Alexander McQueen, Right: Schiaparelli).
To accept her Fashion Award from Tyler the Creator, she changed
into a high-low Alexander McQueen gown, which she teamed with
thigh-high black leather boots. She completed the black-and-white
ensemble with earrings by Brazilian-born jewelry designer Ana
Khouri.
The star’s acceptance speech was touching, as she thanked those
who impacted her style: fashion designers, stylists, and her
mother. “Obviously I have to thank the icon herself, my mom,” Ross
says onstage. “Not only for great parenting and not acquiescing to
my many whimsical and outrageous requests — and tantrums, if I’m
being honest — but also her example, her epic closet and her
glamour that introduced me to the power of fashion.”
To celebrate Ross’s exciting win, we’ve rounded up some of her
all-time best fashion moments through the years. Keep scrolling to
re-live them in all their glory.
