“Hot Chocolate” of the Week: Tracee Ellis Ross

At Cocoture, we do are best to stray away from Hollywood coverage. In a world where celebrities are on the front cover of EVERY magazine and newspaper, we strive to provide our readers with a more diverse outlook on stylish African-American women and what it means to be FABULOUS.

Nevertheless, we must acknowledge actress Tracee Ellis Ross. This “hot chocolate” has mastered looking fashionable and effortlessly chic on a consecutive basis (and lets admit it, the Girlfriends cast is pretty stylish, in addition to serving as one of the best portrayals of black women on television). Whether dressing down in a simple blouse and jeans or dolled up in a couture gown, she always manages to look fierce.

This “hot coco” of the week’s style is bold and elegant. In addition, Ross does not attempt to conceal her curvaceous body, but rather accentuates her fabulous shape with form fitting clothing that is tasteful and classy. As African-American females we realize that at times (more often than not) it’s difficult to find flattering clothing. However, since Ross is a master at styling clever ensembles, she never appears to have this dilemma. Rather than limit her style to the latest trends, this vixen draws inspiration from both old and new pieces.

It’s no wonder that Ross has made a name for herself as a fashion icon. Some might say that her style is inherited; others may believe that it was acquired during her earlier career stints as a fashion editor and model, but one thing is for sure, this style siren looks splendid every time we see her. Tracee Ellis Ross embodies Cocoture in every sense of the word.
