Tracee Ellis Ross Is Our Forever Beauty Muse

Award-winning actor Tracee Ellis Ross is always serving glamour. From architectural ponytails and box braids to gorgeous afros and sleek buns, she’s continually giving us beauty inspiration. Tapping into her passion for a fabulous hair look (it's genetic, after all!), Ross’s brand, Pattern Beauty, continues to make waves within the afro-textured hair care space (Ross recently dropped a handy at-home steamer).

“Pattern started from my own personal hair journey and my experience with not being able to find products, or see myself and my hair texture mirrored back to me in a way that felt celebratory, supportive, and beautiful,” Ross told British Vogue of her venture upon its UK launch. “My childhood and teenage years were filled with me trying everything, searching everywhere, and eventually creating a fruitful relationship with my hair.

As the megastar turns 52, we look back on some of her best beauty moments to date.
