Tracee Ellis Ross appeared in sharp style while speaking at the Courageous Conversations: Black in the C-Suite at Spelman College in Atlanta on Feb. 20. The “Black-ish” actress joined Spelman President, Helen Gayle for a candid conversation about the business and beauty of Black hair.
Ross made a vibrant statement onstage, wearing a red leather Tod’s trench coat. The outwear featured a sharp collar, loose-fitting sleeves, black buttons and a wide belted waist. To amp up her look, the Golden Globe winner accessorized with dangling statement striped earrings.

Ross fluffed out her signature curly tresses to create ample volume. As for makeup, the “Girlfriends” star went with soft glam and added a bold pop of color with a matte pink lip.
When it came down to the shoes, Ross completed her wardrobe with Andrea Wazen’s Ida Patent boots. Created in a slim 3.5-inch heel and crafted in a beautiful patent leather, the additional under-the-knee removable leather piece gives the illusion of flared leather pants and also includes an elongated triangular pointed toe.

Popularized in the ‘60 go-go era, knee-high boots leave the wearer’s knee exposed, but cover the calves. Often worn with skirts, the style is a wise choice in fall and winter for protecting the leg from the elements while still allowing the wearer to show some leg.

Ross always gives a masterclass in style. Her shoe wardrobe is just as impressive, ranging from pumps to sandals and boots from labels like Versace, Andrea Wazen and Gucci, among other top brands. When she’s not in heels, the Golden Globe Award winner will likely complete her looks with various sneaker silhouettes. She always offers sneaker outfit inspiration by proving that classic kicks can be styled in several different ways.
