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 colors, 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.
Ross arrived at the Versace fall 2019 fashion show with a slicked-back updo, a playful red lip, and dual-color winged eyeliner.
It's hard to forget Ross's voluminous curls, deep red lip, and rosy blush at Marie Claire's 2018 Image Maker Awards.
At the 2019 Grammys, Ross stole the show with her extralong cornrow braids, which just skimmed the hem of her jacket. She finished off the look with shimmery bronze eyeshadow and an understated lip color.
Ross brought major '80s vibes to the 2020 NAACP Image Awards with her metallic purple eyeshadow (which just so happened to match her dress) and coral lip.
For the "Vanities" 20th anniversary celebration back in 2012, Ross was also unrecognizable with her auburn-tinted french twist and side bangs with a glamorous swoop.
Ross was the picture of sophistication at the 2016 NAACP Image Awards with her center-parted springy bangs and short curls secured at the nape of her neck. Let's not forget that subtle sparkly pink eyeshadow.
Ross turned heads at the 2018 Emmy Awards thanks to her hot-pink lips (which matched her dress, of course), slick ballerina bun, and tangerine eyes. The secret to her bold eye look: her shadow was actually lipstick.
With her bouncy, shoulder-length curls, silvery eyeshadow, and bright red lips, it was impossible to ignore Ross at Art of Elysium's Heaven Gala in 2012.
Ross's smoky black-and-gold cat eye at the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscars party deserved all the awards (as did her slicked-back curls).
Ross's thick eyeliner at the 2018 Met Gala was only made more dramatic by her gravity-defying bouffant (though unfortunately, her hair was so voluminous that it got stuck in SZA's headpiece when they tried to take a selfie).
Ross put a modern twist on classic Bantu knots at the 2016 opening of the Refugee exhibit by coiling her hair into several loose, spiral buns.
With her red lipstick and thick, charcoal-hued eyeliner, Ross looked like a straight-up goddess at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards. Even more striking was her silky black turban, which she wore in support of the Time's Up movement.
Ross stunned at the pre-Oscar Awards dinner in 2018 with her voluminous, slicked-back ponytail and dark purple smoky eye.

For the British Fashion Awards in 2019, Ross sported two eye-catching braids styled in large loops on either side of her head, making her look even more angelic than usual. Her braided loop hairstyle was complemented by the Twiggy-style mascara on her lower lashes.
Ross looked totally powerful at Variety's 2015 Power of Women luncheon with her barrel-curled, side-swept bangs, sock bun, and pale pink lips.
