The see-through piece had a pleated waistline, an almost floor-length purple tinted skirt and was decorated with a floral pattern in velvet panels throughout.

Ross’ dress also featured eye-catching neon yellow sleeves that doubled as opera gloves. The dramatic gloves had billowy elements on the forearms and ruched accents near the wrists. The “Black-ish” star styled her hair in two long braids. As for makeup, the entertainer went with soft eyeshadow and a glossy neutral pout.

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.
