She paired the pastel-colored garb with a muted green duster coat. For her accessories, Ross skipped earrings and let her assortment of diamond necklaces be the focal point. TheGirlfriendsalum added to her look with decorative rings on each middle finger and styled her hair in a sleek bun.
Back in 2016, Ross got candid with PEOPLE about her stylistic choices.
“I’ve always been connected to the narrative of clothing,” she said at the time. “My mom taught me that you can spend money on nice things if you’re going to use them. For example, I have an Alexander McQueen jacket that I wear with everything, even sweatpants.”
American Fictionfocuses on the story of Dr. Thelonious “Monk” Ellison (Wright), “a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from ‘Black’ entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes,” perMGM.

In order to prove a point, Monk, under a pen name, writes a “Black” book which ironically thrusts him into the very world of media that he claims to disdain.

The upcoming film marks the third project Ross has taken part in that released in 2023, alongsideCold CopyandCandy Cane Lane. Earlier this year, the star toldToday,“I thinkI’m the sexiest I’ve ever been. I feel fantastic and I feel like the world is my oyster.”
She doubled down on that point during an episode of the podcastIt’s Been a Minute, where she stated “I know we are obsessed with youth. I would not go back if you paid me. Sure, my skin was tighter. Sure, my legs held muscle in a different way. But, I am so much more comfortable in my skin.”
American Fictionhits theaters on Dec. 15.
