‘The Body Is Bodying’: Tracee Ellis Ross Bares It All In New Bikini Pics, Leaving Fans Drooling Over Her Physique

Tracee Ellis Ross’ recent Instagram post has fans doing a double take for the most unexpected reason.

The daughter of legendary singer and actress Diana Ross teased two new “things” in her Aug. 14 scorching-hot bikini collage post.

According to the caption, the “black-ish” star is keeping the items a secret for now. But that didn’t stop fans from trying to crack the mystery of her message, while others soaked in all of her beauty, gawking at her curvaceous figure.

Ross has had social media buzzing for weeks over clips from her “Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross” series on theu Roku Channel.

Her bikini pics were taken on one of her many excursions around the world, leaving onlookers drooling and further peaking their interest with her caption, which read, “2 things in these photos are coming out reallll soon….”

Ross kept it simple, wearing a black two-piece swimsuit as she flaunted her curvy and glossy body while rocking cornrows and black shades. In most of the photos, she posed near a small pool with a scenic view of a larger body of water and trees in the background. She also shared a selfie picture and a black and white collage full of photos from what looked like a self-shot session.

Fans zoned in on her body, and, more specifically, her derrière, by sharing reactions on her Instagram.

One person said, “Looking thicker than cold grits. I want to fold you like laundry” while a second noted, “Alriiiiiighty then the body is bodying!!”

Another drooling fan wrote, “You look mighty succulent beautiful sister as well as scrumptious and most definitely alluring.”

A fourth referred to her 2000s show “Girlfriends,” writing, “Crazy she ALWAYS had body. I been peeped since ‘Girlfriends.’”

Between the stunning views of Ross and the water as her background, it’s unclear exactly what she plans to release soon. With the extra glistening look of her skin, she could also be selling sunscreen or a body oil.

“I hope I get to be this sexy in my 50s too shiii,” said another one of her followers.

At 52, Ross stays in shape using holistic practices, dances, and structured workouts that focus on balance throughout the body, strength and flexibility, including the celebrity Tracy Anderson method.

“I feel sexy, and strong, and beautiful when I’m working out. The movements are very dancer-esque, and I’ve been really enjoying it,” she told PopSugar in 2017.

Ross also made a splash in another carousel of images, showing her in a dandified outfit from her appearance during her “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” interview from Aug. 14.

The “Black-ish” star’s outfit consisted of the same black shades with matching wide-legged trousers and a white collared long-sleeved top with black stripes. With the dapper look, she hooked a small set of keys on her belt buckle and added a black tie with white stripes to the top. 

As for any forthcoming products she may be selling, this would not be Ross’ first rodeo in the entrepreneurship world. She is the CEO of her own hair care line called Pattern Beauty, launched in 2019.

As a self-described “lover of fashion, beauty products and the beauty industry” in a 2022 People interview, Ross said, “It’s a natural thing for me. But I do make a conscious choice in certain places to use my body and my platform and my voice to uplift in areas that aren’t always getting that attention.”

Time will tell if she is about to step into the fashion lane with these shades and swimsuit. 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
