Tracee Ellis Ross, age 52, still wipes out timelines with the same smoothness as walking down the runway on Paris Fashion Week. The Black-ish star decided to bless Instagram with seven sizzling photos in a black bikini, slyly writing: “2 things in these photos are coming out realli soon.”
The internet was abuzz with delight as Auntie Tracee fully owned the flamboyant aesthetic of the soft life, exuding the inescapable charm that is so distinctly her own without even trying. The post accumulated more than 270,000 likes, 14,000 shares, and 5,500 comments, highlighting the inalienable fact that where Miss Ross goes, the world will be sure to take notice.
The Praise, the Silence, and the Controversy.
As expected, Black Twitter and its lively equivalents on Instagram flooded the comments section, waving their church fans, microphones, and a copious supply of sassy put-downs.
One admirer went full cougar hunter writing, “Cougar can I scratch that cat.” Another took a more poetic route: “I just need two nights and a SZA album????????.”
While the internet constantly swings back and forth between love and hate, one user suddenly piped up, “Bitch not good looking. We gotta stop lying. She look like Kid from House Party.” Oh, that remark definitely deserves a life sentence in Instagram jail, without possibility of bail.
Indeed, there were quips that acted as cultural commentary, like this: “This is the best propaganda to never marry and never have children.” If that isn’t the equivalent of a billboard advertisement of “black don’t crack” health, then I simply don’t know what is.
The Evolving Controversy
Tracee’s photos reignited the age-old internet debate: is it Auntie slaying present-day or are these throwbacks from her archives? One fan asked bluntly, “Either this an old picture or black just does not crack.” Another added fuel with, “May yall let this old hag go ????????.” But here’s the thing: Tracee is timeless. Whether it’s genetics, Pilates, or just the blessings of Diana Ross’ bloodline, she has been defying Hollywood’s expiration dates since the 90s.
