Three-time Emmy nominee Tracee Ellis Ross is featured on the cover of the September 2018 issue of Elle Canada, which will also include the “Black-ish” star in a high-fashion photoshoot inspired by the best of the fall 2018 runways.
Ross spoke with the fashion mag in a “playful and politically charged” interview that finds her discussing her love of fashion, growing up as the daughter of Motown icon Diana Ross, how she spends her downtime (including her secret to making the best salads) and her true feelings on aging.
“I don’t want to feel like I’m hostage to an Instagram version of myself,” says Ross. “My belief is that all these lines on my face and neck and the softness in my legs and my body are evidence of a life lived.”

On her famous mom, Ross says, “I felt like I grew up in her embrace, not her shadow. And that is a testament to her.”
