Tracee Ellis Ross in Funky Red

Tracee Ellis Ross rocks a funky red dress to the amfAR Cannes Gala with red and blue shoes. She displayed her attire on her Instagram a few times by posting a video of her walking up and down the hall with her dress as well as in her car. This sparkly red dress with funky sleeves and a slit is definitely a wow factor dress. It flows really nicely when walking and looks amazing on Tracee Ellis Ross.

To finalize this look Tracee styled her hair in braids. Because the dress is so fantastic, she had to be careful to not do overdo her hairstyle, so the braids was definitely a great choice. Not only does it show off her face by putting her hair back, it is a great way to represent and celebrate the hair styles of women of color. Too often there is back lash for women of color wearing their natural hairstyles, whereas white women will be called interesting or fashion forward for wearing the exact same hairstyle. Here, Tracee Ellis Ross makes a statement about protective styling by wearing it to the Gala with an outstanding red dress. Go Ms. Ros, thank you so much for working to embrace women of color’s lifestyles.
