Tracee Ellis Ross Posts Extremely Rare Childhood Pic Featuring a Young Diana Ross

Tracee Ellis Ross officially won Throwback Thursday with her vintage black-and-white pic, which features a much younger (and very pregnant) Diana Ross.

The Black-ish star, 47, posted an old photo on Instagram of her family getting ready for a special event. And that smile on Ross's face? Priceless.

The actress wrote, "Little @therhondaross and I getting ready with Mama @dianaross and Grandmommy Ernestine. #tbt"

In the snap, Tracee dons a fluffy ponytail and white dress as she smirks slyly at the camera. Meanwhile, her mom, who's decked out in her elegant maternity gown, fixes Tracee's outfit. Behind them, we also see her grandmother helping her sister, Rhonda Ross, get prepared.

Rhonda reposted the same photo to her account and added an interesting detail about their mother's pregnancy. She wrote, "I love this!! Thank you @traceeellisross for posting it! (And that’s Chudney in mom’s belly!)" FYI, Chudney Ross, 44, is now a TV producer and production manager who's best known for Mesmerized and Fame.

This isn't the first time the Pattern Haircare founder treated us to a special mother-daughter flashback. In 2017, she shared an even older snap of herself with the legendary entertainer backstage and, you guys, their exchanged looks are totally meme-worthy.

In the post, Ross flashes her mom an annoyed look while the mother of five appears to be correcting her. Ross wrote, "On the set of #Mahogany with my mama. So in love with how we are looking at each other. TinyTracee: 'So, when I grow up can I have the clothes?' Mom: 'We will discuss' #TBT #TinyTracee."

Judging by that luxurious fur coat, we can definitely see where Tracee's glamorous sense of style comes from.

Keep the mother-daughter throwbacks coming, Tracee!
