Tracee Ellis Ross Wore the Nostalgic Shoe Youre Going to Want to Bring Back

Chanel knows how to throw a party. On Friday, the fashion mover hosted a women’s luncheon celebrating the Through Her Lens program, where stars like Katie Holmes, Nina Dobrev, and Stephanie Hsu showed their support. Even more grand, Chanel hosted a Tribeca Film Festival dinner last night, where the celebrities dressed the part.

One of my favorite looks of the night was brought to us by Tracee Ellis Ross. The actress adorned herself in a tweed one piece, complete with a plunging neckline, oversized lapels, detailed buttons, and thick stitching. The suits’ red and orange coloring complemented the Black-ish stars’ coral handbag, while Ross’ peek-a-boo bra coordinated with her sheer Calzedonia tights. But her throwback shoes were the moment.

Ross wore a pair of patent Chanel sandals from the label’s 2022/23 Métiers d’art runway show. The shoe’s thick platform, chunky heel, and shiny exterior drew the eye, making it a controversial Y2k choice. Meanwhile, the red hue screamed summer with its vibrant hue.

Some may despise the return of anything prior to 2020, but tons of celebrities actually seem to approve of the nostalgic attire. Zazie Beetz wore the same pair in another colorway, while Amandla Stenberg did, too. Now, I’m no celebrity, but add me to the list of supporters. The only problem? They ring in at $1,375.

If you’re like me and can’t seem to justify spending that much on a pair of shoes but want in on the trend, then you’re in luck. I scoured the internet and found tons of pieces that encapsulate the same allure. This $53 pair features a similar layered design, while these Jeffrey Campbell finds offer you that thick comfortable platform. When it comes down to it, the shoe doesn’t have to look the exact same to achieve the look, but you want to make sure it includes a shiny material and broad sole.

Jump on board the early ’00s summer shoe movement and make like Ross (and tons of other celebs, too.) Shop similar finds from Amazon and Nordstrom, below.
