The 2020 E! People’s Choice Awards won’t air until Sunday, November 15, but Tracee Ellis Ross is already a winner.

On Friday, E! announced that the “Black-ish” star, 47, will receive the Fashion Icon of 2020 Award for her “trailblazing” and “transcendent” personal style, along with her use of fashion to champion the causes close to her heart.

A longtime fixture on best-dressed lists, Ross once worked as a model and contributing fashion editor to Mirabella and New York magazines before her big break on “Girlfriends” in 2000. She even made her runway debut for Thierry Mugler at Paris Fashion Week in 1991, strutting alongside her famous mom, Diana Ross.

In the decades since, Ross has hit the red carpet in jaw-dropping looks from Gucci, Chanel, Valentino and more. She’s also a champion of young creatives of color, memorably wearing a series of looks entirely by black designers to host the 2018 American Music Awards. And her hair care line Pattern, launched in 2019, caters to those with curly, coily and textured hair.

Above, take a look back at the “High Note” actress’ greatest style hits from over the years. We can’t wait to see what she wears to the PCAs.
