Tracee Ellis Ross’ long-awaited return to the runway was nothing short of glamorous. After a 30-plus-year hiatus from the catwalk, the “Black-ish” actress, 52, walked the Marni fall 2025 show on Wednesday at Milan Fashion Week.

Risso did just that once again for Marni’s fall 2025 show held on February 26. During the show, models wound in between the small tables where guests sat with cocktails in hand, as Dev Hynes aka Blood Orange played lighthearted background music.

Tracee Ellis Ross returned to the runway for Marni's fall 2025 show, wearing a curve-hugging yellow dress. This appearance marked a beautiful return after having walked for Thierry Mugler twice earlier in her career.

The Milan tentpoles like Jil Sander, Diesel, Marni, Max Mara, Prada, and Versace will round out the schedule, making for one exciting week, despite the absences during this time, when many houses are between leadership.

Still in a transition phase, Milan Fashion Week offered escapism this season via fun, bold collections and plenty of celebrations.
