Tracee Ellis Ross is known for her buoyant attitude in regard to all things—beauty included. And while her aesthetic often hinges on her collective of curls, a slicked-back mane moment is also a frequently pulled styling card. For an appearance on Good Morning America yesterday, Ross opted for a look centered on a plaited ponytail and a crimson lip, a nod to R&B icon Sade Adu s signature beauty.
To play up a duet of romantic suits—one by Robert Wun, the other from Carolina Herrera—hairstylist Chuck Amos combed Ross s raven lengths into a sleek updo, the midi ponytail positioned on the higher side, braided, and left to swing straight between shoulder blades.

A matte cherry lip and shimmering lids (the work of makeup artist Maud Laceppe) furthered the look into Adu territory, an undeniably chic place to be. Looking for a simple above-neck formula to bring into the year s last lap? One twisted ponytail plus one red lip equals an unequivocally glamorous vibe.
