Tracee Ellis Ross is proving age has nothing on her. The 52-year-old actress and entrepreneur turned heads this week after posting a series of bikini photos from a poolside shoot.
Wearing a sleek black two-piece and oversized sunglasses, the Black-ish star struck confident poses for the camera before dropping a cryptic caption: “2 things in these photos are coming out reallll soon….”
The tease sent fans into speculation mode. Some guessed a new clothing or swimwear line, while others pointed to her sunglasses as a hint. “Shades and swimwear!” one wrote. “You’re releasing a clothing line,” added another.

Celebrities joined the chorus — Lisa Rinna dropped fire emojis, while Chloe Bailey asked to borrow the shades. Fans praised Ross for her confidence, with one commenter writing: “You make me look forward to aging!!”
Ross already runs Pattern Beauty, a successful haircare brand focused on curly and coily textures. Last year, she expanded the company with its first styling tool, a blow dryer she said took two years to develop. “Like all of us, I have a relationship with heat,” Ross told People at the time, reflecting on her journey with natural hair and the pressure to straighten it.
The Girlfriends alum has long been an advocate for embracing authenticity — whether it’s through hair, style, or lifestyle. She’s been open about enjoying singlehood, telling Shape in 2020 that she’s built a “juicy relationship” with her solitude. “I am happily single, though that doesn’t mean I am not open to a relationship,” she said.
The daughter of music icon Diana Ross, Tracee has forged her own path across acting, business, and culture. With her latest bikini photos stirring speculation, fans are left waiting to see what her next move will be — whether it’s fashion, beauty, or something entirely unexpected.
