Ross, 48, is well known for her eclectic fashion choices.

But, the Black-ish star told Ellen, ‘if people saw me in my pajamas they would definitely strip me of my title.’

She then detailed her nighttime routine which left the chat show host dumbfounded. 

‘I tuck my t-shirt into my underwear into my pajama pants… I don’t want a draft, Ellen. I want to keep everything in order and in place,’ she said.
