Tracee Ellis Ross graced the 2018 American Music Awards (AMA) as the night's returning host, all while using her style to do it for the culture. Each look rocked by the Black-ish star was made by a black designer.
I’ve featured black designers in all of my @AMAs press looks, and will do the same for all my show looks tonight! Stay tuned for look-by-look details!#AMAs
