Tracee Ellis Ross<\/strong><\/a> grew up rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, but one of her mom Diana Ross<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 friends left a particular impression.<\/p>\n

Tracee, 52, named some of the celebrities she has been \u201cstarstruck\u201d by on the Tuesday, July 14, episode of the \u201cBaby, This Is Keke Palmer<\/a>\u201d podcast, recalling how she met Lucille Ball<\/strong> as a young girl and Marvin Gaye<\/strong> regularly called the family home.<\/p>\n

She then said, \u201cAndy Warhol<\/strong> painted me and my sisters,\u201d referring to her siblings, Rhonda<\/strong>, 54, and Chudney<\/strong>, 50. (Diana shares Rhonda with Berry Gordy<\/strong> and Tracee and Chudney with first husband Robert Ellis Silberstein<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not starstruck \u2014 I was actually frightened,\u201d the Black-ish<\/em><\/a> actress went on to reveal.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tDiana Ross\u2019 family members were the true stars of her jaw-dropping Met Gala 2025 gown. The \u201cQueen of Motown\u201d turned heads on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in May 2025 by wearing an 18-foot long white shawl that was embroidered with the names of her five children [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cProbably the look? He had a very distinct look,\u201d host Keke Palmer<\/strong> suggested, referring to Warhol, who was known for his shock-white hair.<\/p>\n

Tracee responded, \u201cI did not understand what was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1981, Warhol photographed Diana, 82, Tracee and her sisters for silkscreen artwork commissioned by the legendary singer. One of the portraits was later used by Diana for the cover of her 1982 album Silk Electric<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tracee previously opened up about growing up with a famous mom<\/a> in a 2023 interview with Flaunt<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n

The Girlfriends<\/em> star said that while there were often A-list names around, her mom wasn\u2019t a big \u201cpartier.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, Michael Jackson<\/strong> was around. Marvin Gaye called the house all the time. Cher<\/strong> and my dad and my mom and Michael played doubles tennis. Andy Warhol photographed me. You know what I mean?\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n
