Tracee Ellis Rossis dialing up the heat.

The formerBlack-ishstar flaunted her sexy side in a series of pictures shared over the weekend.

In the first photo shared in her carousel, the 50-year-old actressposes in a bedclad in nothing but sheer tights from Calzedonia, a lacy black bra and sunglasses. She lays down while turning her head to the side for a sultry mood.

Another snapshot, a selfie, gives a closer look at her voluminous curls and bangs as well as her square-frame shades and plunging lingerie. She puts on a poker face for the more serious shot.

Others outfit pictures in the Instagram dump showed the actress basking in the sun in summer style. In one, she lounges in a floral-pattern cover-up, rainbow-striped bikini and a straw fedora. In another she sits on steps and takes a mirror selfie wearing a scoop-neck tank top and green pants. She also holds her hair up in a ponytail.

The Pattern Beauty founder didn’t caption the post, letting the sexy photos — and the praise from her fans — do the talking.

One follower commented, “This photo truly reveals the true essence of your beauty,” while another complimented, “You’re so inspiring!”

When it comes to rocking skin-baring style, whichincludes a bikini or two, Ross listens to her body.

“I have worn the same shape bikini since I was a teenager,” she told PEOPLE exclusively in April at Tiffany & Co.’s flagship reopening in New York City. “It’s justwhat works on my body. "

Ross also knows what shedoesn’tlike. “This whole high-waist, where people pull it up really high, no, ma’am,” she said.
