The actress announced on Instagram that she has designed a holiday collection for JCPenney. The line will launch in November with a wide range of sizes and accessible prices.

 
Tracee Ellis Ross’ holiday collection for JCPenney will launch on November 12, with 45 pieces ranging from tuxedos to party dresses. The actress and star of Black-ish wrote on her Instagram page that she wanted to create a collection that “empowers women to embrace their joyful spirit.”
 
Ross says she worked carefully on each piece in the collection, with the goal of making it accessible to many women. “There’s something for everybody and every body,” she wrote on Instagram. The line will include sizes small to 3X, with prices ranging from $9 to $75.

Fashion photographer Terry Tsiolis shot the collection’s lookbook, which stars Ross alongside a group of women of diverse ages, ethnicities and sizes.
 
Earlier this year, Ross starred in the Spring/Summer 2017 campaign for Kenzo alongside actor Jesse Williams and musician Kelsey Lu. Ross, who is the daughter of music icon Diana Ross, regularly appears on the red carpet wearing the likes of Chanel.
 
JCPenney has seen a series of change-ups to its leadership in recent months. The retailer recently lost its CFO Edward Record.
