Tracee Ellis Ross Paired This White Suit With A Surprising (& Affordable) Accessory
The suiting trend has officially carried over to the new year. We're just a matter of days into 2019 and celebrities are already demonstrating chic new ways to style the menswear-inspired staple. Case in point: Tracee Ellis Ross' suit and sneaker combo was a major style highlight at the W Magazine pre-Golden Globes party on Fri. night — and it may just inspire your next outfit (or shopping spree).
Whether the Blackish star has her followers dying laughing with kooky selfie videos, or tapping for deets on her iconic style moments, the actor continuously delivers on Instagram. To absolutely no one's surprise, Ross looked equal parts cool and sophisticated in a white, sequin-adorned suit by Wes Gordon for Carolina Herrera at the star-studded event, nailing high-low mixing with Nike Air Force 1s peaking out from the wide-leg trousers. The $110 sneakers added a casual, streetwear-inspired vibe to the glitzy, glimmering outfit.
Ross' stylist, Karla Welch, took to Instagram to share the idea behind the actor's look, citing "Our Ladies in Congress" (that is, the record-breaking number of women serving in the 116th Congress) as their main inspiration. As an energetic activist and thought leader, Ross is no stranger to speaking out for gender equality and social justice, so the politically charged look is no surprise.
Ross added some extra length to her hair with voluminous extensions, bearing a striking resemblance to mother Diana Ross, and finished off the look with electric blue eyeshadow.
