Tracee Ellis Ross was the star of the night at Birdie Beauty Lab’s special opening night, where she won the inaugural Birdie Muse Award. Known for her pioneering hair care line, Pattern Beauty, Tracy has become a powerful voice celebrating Black beauty, offering products specifically designed for curly, coiled, and tight textures. But her influence goes beyond beauty. PATTERN also supports Black organizations and women of color, and her recognition is well-deserved.
Tracy wore a stunning piece from Danish designer Niklas Skovgaard’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection. The rugged suede studded dress, cut to an asymmetrical length, looked edgy on paper, but the end result was surprisingly wearable for daytime events. Tracy expertly showcases how to balance bold fashion with practicality, proving that you can make a statement without going overboard.
What particularly caught my eye was the pop of red on her shoes. Known for her unique and vibrant style, Tracy loves the element of surprise. In this case, they inject energy into the outfit and show off her playful approach to fashion.
In an industry that often holds itself to unattainable beauty standards, Tracee Ellis Ross stands out as a beacon of authenticity. Her celebration at Birdie Beauty Lab wasn’t just about her personal accomplishments. It symbolized a larger movement towards inclusivity and representation in beauty. With her unwavering commitment to uplifting black beauty, she continues to be an inspiration to many and her recognition is even more important.
