Tracee Ellis Ross has once again affirmed her status as a modern fashion icon. Known for her fearless fashion choices and unique personal style, Ross stepped into the spotlight during her latest press tour appearances with looks that effortlessly balanced sophistication and flair.
During a screening and conversation event for Black Mirror hosted by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Ross turned heads in a scholarly yet stylish ensemble that felt straight out of a runway-meets-faculty-room fantasy. Layering was the key to her outfit—a mustard yellow corduroy blazer from Acne Studios worn over a navy and white striped button-up shirt and a navy turtleneck. Paired with high-waisted navy trousers, the entire look channeled a retro academic vibe, updated with contemporary tailoring and color blocking.
This wasn’t the only time Ross played with texture, silhouette, and tone this week. Earlier in the day, she brought vibrancy to the streets of New York while heading into Good Morning America. She wore a structured tomato red sleeveless top with a matching low-waisted A-line skirt from Entire Studios. The bold co-ord was styled with black Bottega Veneta V-cut pumps, a brown suede clutch by Métier, and chunky gold earrings—an ensemble that perfectly married bold color with clean structure.
Later that evening, for an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Ross reinterpreted the two-piece concept. This time she embraced sleek minimalism in a head-to-toe black leather look from Brandon Maxwell’s Fall 2025 collection. The outfit featured a long-sleeve top and matching midi skirt, accessorized with silver jewelry and the same signature pumps. Her Bottega Intrecciato handbag added texture, while a pair of oversized square eyeglasses lent a quirky, intellectual edge.
Through these wardrobe shifts, Ross showcased not just her personal style, but how fashion can be used as a form of expressive storytelling. From bold red color blocks to textured layers and sleek leather, each look was a lesson in how to approach dressing with intention and elegance.
Whether dressed like the chicest professor or channeling power through monochrome minimalism, Tracee Ellis Ross is proving that style isn’t just about clothes—it’s about confidence, creativity, and owning the room.
