The Black-ish star looked gorgeous in a royal blue checked power suit as she called in via live stream from her LA home. Tracee was joined by actor Leslie Jordan, and she couldn't help but joke that her ensemble was her "workout outfit" when she was complimented on her look by Leslie.

"This is my workout outfit Leslie, I just threw this on to go to a cycling class in an hour," she teased when the former Will & Grace star said how nice she looked.

Tracee wore her suit jacket with nothing underneath. She kept the rest of her look simple and accessorized with some drop earrings, chunky rings and added a pop of contrasting color with some purple lipstick.
