She won the award for a show about one family struggling with a sense of cultural identity.

But Tracee Ellis Ross knew exactly who she was, and who she represented on Sunday night, as she dedicated her Golden Globe to 'women of colour and colourful people'.

Taking the stage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, the 44-year-old Black-ish actress used the opportunity to make a very special tribute.

Celebrating: Tracee Ellis Ross was celebrating a big win at the Post-Golden Globes Party hosted by Warner Bros. Pictures and InStyle on Sunday night, after dedicating the gong to women of colour

'This is for all the women, women of colour and colorful people, whose stories, ideas, thoughts are not always considered worthy and valid and important,' she said.

'But I want you to know: I see you. We see you,' she continued, after overcoming competition from Gina Rodriguez and Sarah Jessica Parker in the same category.

'It is an honour to be on this show, Black-ish. To continue expanding the way we are seen and known and to show the magic and the beauty and the sameness of a story and stories that are outside of where the industry usually looks.'

Something to celebrate: The actress thrust her gong into the air in celebration

Golden girl: She even celebrated in a golden dress to do it in style

The actress has traditionally picked dramas in which women shine, including TV series Girlfriends - about the lives, loves, and losses of four different women - as well as Bad Girls - a TV movie about a group of unlikely women in a federal prison.

On Sunday, Tracee - who is the daughter of The Supremes' Diana Ross - won the Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for a TV show that focuses more on the subject of colour.

With that, Tracee became the first black woman to win Best Actress in a Comedy since 1983, when Debbie Allen won for Fame.

Making a speech: Her speech was an inspirational tribute to the underappreciated

Taking a stand: The actress used the opportunity to take a stand

Well done: Actor Miles Brown congratulated his TV mum on the win

Celebrations: Her TV husband Anthony Anderson also wrote to say well done

Black-ish is a comedy about two parents Rainbow (Tracee) and Andre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) trying to raise their four children in a predominantly white, upper-middle-class neighborhood.

A tribute to their connection as actors, Tracee's TV son Miles Brown (who plays Jack) took to Twitter to say well done.

'Congratulations to the best TV mom who deserves this! @TraceeEllisRoss #GoldenGlobes #Blackish @goldenglobes' he wrote.

Yes, yes, yes! She couldn't stop showing off the huge award on the red carpet

Glittering: On the red carpet, Tracee shone almost as bright as her award

Kisses: It was obvious what the acting accolade meant to the star

Tracee's TV husband Anthony also sent well-wishings, after joining the actress at the ceremony.

He said: 'Congrats to my friend and best TV wife ever! #GoldenGlobes' and shared a picture of them together.

The actress certainly celebrated in style that night, regularly thrusting her giant trophy into the air when caught by the cameras.

After dazzling on the red carpet in a silver dress, she fittingly slipped into gold and continued the festivities at a Post-Golden Globes Party hosted by Warner Bros. Pictures and InStyle inside The Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Here come the girls: Walking off stage, it was actress Zazie Beetz that Tracee went to for celebration

Decorated: She contrasted all the gold with some silver jewellery

Who, me? She showed off her outfit with plenty of perfect poses
