At Tuesday night's Black Girls Rock! awards ceremony, host Tracee Ellis Ross, 43, proved that she can not only keep a crowd that includes Rihanna and Gladys Knight thoroughly entertained, but that she can also literally pull off any lipstick color.

Throughout this year's event, the Blackish star made an impressive amount of costume changes and while her wardrobe was seriously on point - fringe, leather, sequins, velvet...she went for it all - it was her bold lip colors that we couldn't look away from.

Here, we highlight our favorite lip colors from the night. Get inspired to go bold with hues like burgundy and fuchsia and shop lipsticks to copy Tracee's looks below.

RED

A rich red is perhaps the most versatile of lip colors - or so the evening's host proved.

She wore it with a red leather bodysuit, a blue feathered gown and a gold sequin number at different points of the evening.
