During Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour, in honor of Beyonce's birthday month, Tracee Ellis Ross participated in the silver-themed dress code as encouraged by the singer.

Tracee's choice, a silver Paco Rabanne mirrored sequin chainmail mini dress, held special significance as it paid homage to her iconic mother, Diana Ross. Diana Ross had previously worn the same dress by the Spanish designer for a performance with The Supremes on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' in 1967.
