Tracee Ellis Ross knows how to do summer right.

The 48-year-old actress and producer recently documented her time soaking up the sun in a series of epic Instagram selfies. In the pictures, the Black-ish star showed off her two-piece floral bikini while hanging out by the pool, striking different poses to get the full effect. In one shot she enjoys a glass of rosé, while in another she cools off by taking a dip in the water.

Without missing a beat, Tracee’s followers flooded the comments section with compliments. Most notably, there were several celebrities who stopped by her Instagram to shower her with sweet messages.

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥” Gabrielle Union wrote. “GORGEOUS 🔥🔥,” added Grey’s Anatomy executive producer Debbie Allen. “Glowingggg,” said Mixed-ish actress Arica Himmel. “🌶-y,” commented Walking Dead actress Lauren Ridloff. “❤️,” said Snowpiercer actress Rowan Blanchard.

Fans also joined in with their own positive comments. “Tracee you don broke the internet again 😭😍😍😍,” one person wrote. “Goddess 😍,” another added. “SHES FLAWLESS,” a different fan said. “😍😍😍😍🔥🔥,” a follower commented.

The High Note actress then followed up her first post with an Instagram Reel of herself in the pool. With a glass of rosé in hand, Tracee contemplated wetting her hair but ultimately decided against it.

Speaking with Health in 2020, Tracee gave thanks to her mom, legendary singer and Diana Ross, for instilling confidence in her.

“I got her courage: courage of self, courage to be who I am. My mom is like that: Who she is is who she is,” she told the outlet. “I got it from seeing her do it, seeing a woman unapologetically being herself and it working. There was no shaming of me being me. I had to work on that a lot, because I'm a large personality, so I had to own my specificity and love it.”

We’re definitely taking notes because it's obviously working for Tracee!
