Tracee Ellis Ross has an outfit for every New Year’s Eve mood
Whatever your plans – or lack of plans – for New Year’s Eve, Tracee Ellis Ross has an outfit to inspire your choice of style for the night. The black star has become known for her refreshing and playful fashion sense, and Ross’s recent Instagram post shows only the latest in a series of memorable looks this year. On Tuesday, Ross posted a slide show with pictures of clothes from his couch. If you’re looking to dress up on New Year’s Eve, follow Ross’s lead and wear a sparkly sequined dress. For something more discreet, but still festive, choose a pajama set or silk jumpsuit. For maximum comfort, why not opt for the set without trendy pants? Ross did his version of the look with a relaxed white button-down shirt. Did we mention it’s perfect for Zoom parties?

She dominates everything from comfortable clothes to monochrome suits. Not to mention her beautiful red carpet dress from the Emmy Awards that came with a matching mask. If you’re thinking that your New Year’s Eve will prioritize coziness, look no further than the Ross-style sweatshirt set. In September, the actress combined a baby blue PANGAIA sweatshirt with an unexpected choice of shoes – high heels. The Lido braided Bottega Veneta sandals that have been everywhere this year, combined with their thick gold hoops and bold lipstick, take the look of the chic sofa to the chic sofa.

When Ross was nominated for an Emmy for Best Leading Actress in a Comedy Series, she wore a gold dress from head to toe with a low-cut top and a layered skirt that would set the perfect tone for the new year. “What fun to dress up!” Ross put the caption of his Instagram post showing his look. “I can’t say that I miss the frenetic energy of the red carpet or wearing high heels, but man, I miss a beautiful dress!” Really huge. But this year, with crowded parties not being a thing, you can skip the heels if you want and keep the best part, the dress.

It looks like she used it to do a few things, but this vibrant look couldn’t be a more perfect and stimulating choice for New Year’s Eve. And forget to match your shoes and bag. In 2020, it all comes down to combining your mask and shoes. Ross sneakers by Pyer Moss match perfectly with his yellow velvet mask with ribs by Lele Sadoughi. To make it look more casual, take a page from Ross’s style book and give a fist to the sleeves and pants.

Check out the big, men’s-inspired suit Ross wore in April (and also included in IG’s post this week). Keep the rest of the look simple by tying your hair back in a low, smooth bun and snuggling on the couch. As Ross makes clear, shoes are optional.

And thanks to Ross, we don’t lack inspiration for NYE fashion. Like what you’re seeing? How about a little more R29 goodness, right here?
