Tracee Ellis Ross to Receive Fashion Icon Award at 2020 E! People’s Choice Awards

Tracee Ellis Ross is truly a style icon, and E! is honoring her good taste in fashion with the Fashion Icon Award at the 2020 E! People’s Choice Awards next month.

The trailblazer will be recognized for her one-of-a-kind personal style over the past two decades, her passion for self-expression and how she uses her voice and reach to inspire others to believe in themselves

“Tracee Ellis Ross’ style is transcendent,” said Jen Neal, General Manager, E! News, Live Events & Lifestyle Digital. “Her influence in the entertainment and fashion spaces are incomparable and we are delighted to honor her with the Fashion Icon Award.”

Born from a legacy of style, Ross is known for her sartorial flair and taking fashion risks with ease. Whether walking red carpets in Valentino, Chanel or Ralph Lauren couture, thanking her shopping habit for her oft-documented street style, or inviting her more than 10 million followers on social media to poke fun at her dad sneakers, Ross uses fashion as a means of self-expression and communication.

Ross is a champion of young talent and designers, most notably putting racial inclusivity front and center by featuring Black designers in all of her looks for stage and press when she hosted the 2018 American Music Awards. As a co-founding signatory of the Time’s Up movement, she is actively involved in working towards the goal of creating safety and equality in the workplace. Her production company, Joy Mill Entertainment, is committed to amplifying multilayered content that intentionally inspires possibility and joy in order to create connection and understanding. Her haircare line, PATTERN, serves the natural hair community and is an active space for upholding and celebrating Black beauty. She is a fixture on Hollywood’s best-dressed lists, and in 2017 she launched her first-ever fashion line, co-designed with JCPenney, which was celebrated for its inclusivity and accessibility.

Since her breakout role on “Girlfriends,” she has displayed grace, talent and a strong sense of self. Best known for her role in the previous People’s Choice Awards-nominated hit TV series “black-ish,” Ross recently also starred in the 2020 People’s Choice Awards-nominated film “The High Note” where she is up for “The Drama Movie Star of 2020.” You can view a full list of nominees here.

The 2020 E! People’s Choice Awards air LIVE from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on Sunday, November 15 @ 9PM ET/PT on E!
