‘I’m Floored By Your Beauty’: Tracee Ellis Ross Shows Her Rendition of a Photo Dump and Fans are Eating It Up

Tracee Ellis Ross caused a social media frenzy on Sunday, Jan. 30, after creating her own version of Instagram’s photo dump.

A photo dump occurs when an individual shares a series of unrelated images in one Instagram post. In the social media upload, Ross shared a carousel of photos of herself posing while sitting on the floor.

Ross’ various images captured candid moments of the actress smiling, showcasing her attire or promoting a product. Many of those photos incorporated similar arm and leg poses. In addition to the upload, Ross informed her followers that she could only condense her “floor” photos to the social media app’s 10-post requirement, despite having many others.

She wrote, “Floor dump… there were so many more.” As fans viewed Ross’ post, a handful of individuals flooded the star’s comments section with compliments while others praised the star’s beauty by using floor puns.

“I love you! I wanna be like you when I’m older so graceful even on the floor lol!”

“Your so Beautiful.. Floor Real.”

“I’m FLOORED by your beauty.”

“This floor dump is hittin.”

“I love this. One thing about Tracee Ellis Ross, she gon’ sit on the floor.”

Among the positive reactions, an Instagram user mentioned that Ross may have created a new trend. That person said, “You’re going to start a trend Trace LOL.” This post comes days after the actress announced that she would be appearing on “Hot Ones.”

“Hot Ones” is a YouTube series where host Sean Evans asks celebrity guests random questions, which could based on their personal or professional lives, as they attempt to eat chicken wings coated in various spicy hot sauces. The show premiered in 2015. Ross, who also shared behind-the-scenes photos, captioned the post from Jan. 26, “HOT ONE.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
