Tracee Ellis Ross Suffered Wounds From Her Oscars Dress, but She Says "It Was Worth It"

OK, we straight up love Tracee Ellis Ross. The hilarious Black-ish actress attended the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in a stunning Balmain gown with crystal-embellished sleeves and a satin skirt that was gathered at the center with a brooch. She appropriately played up this stunning detail with Roger Vivier slingback heels that were adorned with even more bling, a Judith Leiber clutch, and jewels by Ana Khouri and Nikos Koulis.

Tracee looked flawless, and frankly pretty comfortable, only she revealed the truth on Instagram via video. The dress was tight — so tight, in fact, that Tracee suffered bruises on the insides of her arms and on her side. But she hilariously admits she doesn't regret the look one bit and pretty much just had a blast. So, as she makes it clear, Tracee will wear Balmain and suffer pain — but what would you do in the name of fashion?
