knows the trick to wearing knee-high boots in the summer is an impossibly high miniskirt.
Ever the , the actor and fashion aficionado showed us how it’s done in her latest Instagram post, which shared a peek at a recent party outfit. Posing by a pool at sunset, Ross stayed cool in a pair of sandy suede stiletto boots by styling the footwear with a unique dress.
The multitone piece featured an icy pale blue bodice covered in scrunchy ruched details. A drop basque waist accentuated the dress, with a skirt made out of oceanic fabric and white lace pillowing at her sides. The draping added an exaggerated effect to the shape of her hips, while the breezy asymmetrical hem—which inched high up her thighs—gave the look a summery touch.
Ross finished off her look with a rectangular clutch bag made of buttery caramel-colored leather. Beauty-wise, she kept her glam fairly natural, opting for a glowy and sun-kissed face, and wore her curly hair wet and slicked back, as if she just emerged from a sunset swim.
“Snuck outta the party to take some pics real quick,” the Black-ish star captioned the photos.
“Dressing up has always been how I express my creativity,” Ross previously told . “For a while, especially in high school and during my teenage years, clothing was like my armor, a way to protect myself. If my outfit was good, I felt that I could conquer the entire world. Later, in my 20s and 30s, when I began to feel more comfortable in my own skin, fashion became one of the most important means of my self-expression. I loved fashion and dressing well. Moreover, clothing—whether it’s a T-shirt with some text on it or an incredible suit—can be a statement about who you are.”
