“Nobody is touching you when it comes to the fashion darling.”

“Feels like an outfit Joan would have in her wardrobe today”

“When I say you absolutely slay everything you wear, that’s what I mean, love you girl.”

Meanwhile, a few zoomed on Ross’s unique pair of heels. Some of the comments were “All the way down to that cute baby toe” and “Need those shoes real bad.”

A third individual said, “Those heels im just so obsessed with you lately. your humor, your vibrancy, you’re down to earth & always a breath of fresh air !! Keep killing it beautiful.”

Ross has a habit of luring fans in with her classy and desirable ensembles. She recently sent fans into a frenzy after sharing vacation photos that show her rocking a blue tank top and low-rise baggy jeans. 

The Pattern Beauty founder’s style has afforded her the opportunity to collaborate with several different clothing brands, such as H&M and JC Penny. In 2021, she became an ambassador for the luxury brand Tiffany & Co. 

Ross was also named a fashion icon in 2020 at the People’s Choice Awards, where she told an E! News reporter that her love of fashion began at a young age.

“It started very young, I come by it honestly,” she said. “My mom is Diana Ross. She’s a fashion icon that I actually follow, and my father has impeccable taste. It started young.”

The 50-year-old continued, “Fashion, in the beginning for me, was armor. It was a way that I kind of protected myself and made sure that the world was seeing me the way I wanted to be seen.” 

As her interview progressed, she stated that fashion helped her shape her own “creative expression,” which then ignited her with joy.

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.
