Tracee Ellis Ross Honored Her Mother's Style At AMAs And Did Her Justice

The gorgeous Tracee Ellis Ross hosted the 2017 American Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 19) and she didn't come to play with her looks.
From the minute we saw her strut her stuff down the red carpet, to seeing the many different outfits that she graced the AMAs stage with; the beauty turned heads and made countless jaws drop with each ensemble. Since her legendary mother, Diana Ross, was being honored this same night, Tracee's many looks had something to do her mom's style.
As you may or may not know, Diana was a fashion iconic long before any of our favorites even graced a stage for the very first time. Many of today's artists continue to be inspired by her daring looks, as they dress themselves.
So, Tracee knew that she had to remind the world how iconic her mother was -- and still is -- not only in the music world, but in the fashion one, too. Let's take a look at each of the actress' outfits at the AMAs and what people had to say about them.
Like her mama, she slayed.

Bodysuits were invented for Tracee Ellis Ross. Looking like a shimmering Michael Jackson glove.
