Tracee Ellis Ross's Best Hair and Makeup Looks

These Tracee Ellis Ross Beauty Looks Will Leave Your Jaw on the Floor

Tracee Ellis Ross isn't just known for her role as Dr. Rainbow "Bow" Johnson on Black-ish and its spin-offs — she's also known as one of the most fashion-forward queens in Hollywood. With her larger-than-life curls, bold lip colours, and flashy ensembles, the daughter of Motown legend Diana Ross is never afraid to take a risk on the red carpet, and we love her for it. Of course, it shouldn't be a surprise that Ross's hair is always on point, considering she owns Pattern Beauty, a hair-care line for curly hair. We've rounded up some of her best beauty looks of all time, and spoiler alert: they're all stunners.
