Tracee Ellis Ross always knows how to make a statement on the red carpet, and Sunday night's Oscars was no different!
The 49-year-old actress walked the red carpet in a strapless, T-length, red Carolina Herrera gown. Ross paired the bold look with matching shoes, equally bright red lips, and a stunning diamond and pearl necklace.
She swept her hair back and kept her smile wide for photos ahead of Sunday's ceremony.
"It's awesome to celebrate," Ellis told ET's Nichelle Turner and Kevin Frazier about being at the Oscars. “When it feels really overwhelming and intense in our world, not just our country, it is exciting to have a beautiful thing like art to share and celebrate and come together.”
The black-ish actress, who attended the awards show as a presenter this year, has been on a roller coaster of emotions near the end of her ABC series.
In an interview with the WSJ in January, Ross also reflected on the ending of Black-ish, including his getting emotional during the final weeks of filming.
"I went into the final week with an open heart so that I could be really present for all the feelings that were moving forward," she recalled. "To the extent that, at any moment, tears would start pouring in. Anthony (Anderson) at the end was like, 'Seriously? Are you crying again?' Yeah, I'm crying, man, I'm crying, get over it Mr. Crankypants who're pretending you don't have feelings, but you are."
In December, Ross joined WWD's Beauty Inc. While talking with ET at the Rainbow Room in Manhattan for the awards, gushed over their four TV kids.
Ross, who received the Fashion Trade Journal's Changemaker of the Year Award, told ET that she'll be growing up right before she sees her TV husband Anderson and their TV kids — Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Marsai Martin and Miles Brown. her eyes.
"I think I'm just going to miss the kids and Anthony," Ross said. "The kids have just become such beautiful people. It was an honor when we started out, they were so talented. But they have become family."
