In the Instagram post, the 49-year-old is seen wearing a coat in a shade of brown while posing for the camera. Ross sported a braided hairdo that appeared to be all wrapped up in a bun. The “black-ish” star’s makeup consisted of a full face with orange eyeshadow, blush and a nude lip. 

As fans viewed the upload, many flooded Ross’ comments section with compliments. Several individuals mentioned her new hairdo. 

“Hairdo right and tight.”

“So you came up with a new hairstyle? I like it!”

“Love the braids and makeup perfect!”

“My gurl!!!! Love it! The fashion sense is unbelievable!!! The shadow color is everything!!!”

Among the positive remarks, others pointed out how beautiful Ross appeared in the photos. One wrote, “WHY ARE YOU SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL???” Another said, “Ahh! The exotic beauty of a woman. It’s natural and radiating.”

A third person posted, “You are so beautiful to me.”

This post comes weeks after Ross gave fans a view of her voluptuous curls after sharing a stream of photos. The star was seen posing in various angles in what appeared to be a black bra.

In 2019, during an interview with Coveteur magazine, Ross shared the importance of taking care of one’s hair while promoting Pattern, her hair-care brand.

She told the publication, “Your hair is an extension of you. And like you, it can defy gravity. It is way more than any circumstance or limitation, and if you honor it, meet it where it is, nourish it, and spend time getting to know and understand it, the world is your oyster.” 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
