Actor and Pattern Beauty founder Tracee Ellis Ross

Actor and Pattern Beauty founder Tracee Ellis Ross is set to receive the Hollywood Trailblazer Award at the l WWD Style Awards, an evening celebrating the best in red carpet fashion and beauty. Hosted by Women's Wear Daily, the event will take place on January 3rd at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Speaking about the honor, Tracee shares,"For me, how I dress myself is really a form of expression, and it's one of the ways that I wear my insides on my outside. It started as an armor, a way that I would feel protected, and now it's just one of the ways I express myself, and it brings me so much joy. I really feel like there's an importance to how we express ourselves, particularly in the world that we're living in. How I dress is one of the ways that I show up in the world and tell people how I want to be responded to."
