‘Playing Peek a Boo with the Thigh’: Tracee Ellis Ross’ Fashion Post Derails After Fans See This 

Tracee Ellis Ross has taken Paris, France, by storm.

The actress, who has been overseas for over a month, stopped fans in their tracks on July 6 after showcasing an all-black ensemble she wore while attending the Balenciaga Couture Runway show that same day. During the event, stars like Naomi Campbell, Kim Kardashian, and many others modeled the company’s fall 2022 collection.

In the Instagram post, Ross was seen wearing a black dress with thigh-high boots as she posed in what appeared to be her hotel room. The first image showcased the “black-ish” star sitting on the couch as she gave fans a view of her thigh. Ross modeled the attire in several other images by placing her leg on the furniture. 

Alongside the upload, the 49-year-old wrote the caption, “BALENCIAGA COUTURE.” As fans viewed the post, many raved over how beautiful Ross looked. A couple of individuals went as far as to mention Ross’ thigh in their remarks. 

 “I MEAN…. TER!!!! Dang gurl!!! Serve!!”

“Gurlllll!!! Showing up and doing your thanngggg!!”

“Omg. drool came out of my mouth”

“Playing peek a boo with the thigh I see.”

“That thigh… I just can’t.”

“It’s the thigh for me.”

Among the previous responses, others brought up Ross’ boots. One wrote, “These boots (heart eyed emoji)!” Another said, “Tracee, dem boots, and dat dress! Yaassss honey, yaaassss.”

A third Instagram user stated, “It makes no sense! Thighs and Boots!”

This post comes weeks after fans raved over Ross’ toned legs as she posed in the hotel room in what appeared to be her bathroom. In the upload, the “Girlfriends” star rocked a black long-sleeved shirt and fringe shorts. Ross captioned the post, “Feelin’ myself!”

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.
