Tracee Ellis Ross may be known for her impeccable style and larger-than-life presence, but when it comes to traveling, the Emmy-nominated actress keeps it shockingly simple—and fans are losing it.
During the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Summit on July 15 in New York City, the Black-ish star dropped a travel confession that has everyone talking: she only packs two pairs of underwear on vacation.
“I pack one bathing suit, a flip-flop, one little dress I can roll up—and there’s always two undies,” Ross shared, flashing her signature grin.
For most travelers, especially those heading on long trips, the idea of living with just two pairs of undies feels… impossible. But Ross insists it’s not only doable—it’s downright liberating.
Tracee’s Travel Philosophy: Minimalism Meets Freedom
So how does she pull this off? Tracee explained her genius system for keeping things fresh while on the go:
???? “One sink is for soap and shower gel, the other’s for rinsing. You wring them out, hang them on the towel rack—and that’s that,” she said with a laugh.
This minimalist strategy allows her to pack lighter, move faster, and focus on what really matters: exploring the world.
“If I’m gone for a month on this trip, you can’t pack a month’s worth of underwear. They take up a lot of space,” she added.
