From Loewe’s architectural Origami Cubic pumps to minimalist Jude mules and timeless Prada satin pumps, each outfit demonstrates how Ross uses footwear to anchor bold color palettes, relaxed tailoring, and polished silhouettes.
Tracee Ellis Ross Wears Red Loewe Origami Cubic Pumps With Green Leather Pants
Tracee Ellis Ross brought bold summer style to the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen studios in a head-to-toe Loewe Pre-Fall 2026 look. The vibrant green-and-red color combination may give off Christmas-in-July vibes, but she made it look fresh and undeniably chic!
She stepped into a pair of bright red Loewe “Origami Cubic” pumps crafted from soft lamb leather. The shoes embraced this year’s popular glove pump trend, featuring a high-cut topline that covered more of the foot and created a flattering V-shaped vamp.
Their sharp pointed toes with a stitched seam running down the center gave the shoes a clean, architectural look. But what really made them stand out were the sculptural inverted pyramid block heels, debossed with Loewe’s signature logo. The architectural design fits naturally alongside the sculptural Loewe shoes worn by Julia Garner, Aubrey Plaza, and Sarah Pidgeon during Paris Fashion Week, highlighting the house’s continued focus on innovative footwear.
Tracee Ellis Ross’ red leather Origami Cubic pumps retail for $1,150 at Mytheresa, where the sculptural style is currently available in multiple colorways alongside Origami Cubic slingback pumps.
The wider Origami footwear family is also available at Farfetch, which carries Origami square-toe sandals, bow-detail pointed-toe mules, padded slides, and heeled mules, highlighting how Jonathan Anderson has expanded the architectural concept across a range of silhouettes.

Ross paired the striking pumps with Loewe’s bright green leather trousers, creating a bold color-blocked outfit that was hard to ignore. They featured an all-over debossed Loewe logo that gave the pants a subtle logomania effect. Sitting high on the waist with slightly wide legs, they balanced the fitted silhouette of the shoes while adding structure to the outfit.
Letting the statement pieces take center stage, Ross kept the rest of her look simple with a crisp white tank top tucked neatly into the trousers. I thought it was the perfect choice, creating a clean contrast that allowed the vibrant colors to shine.
Tracee Ellis Ross completed her look with gold hoop earrings and a black Loewe Small Amazona bag, designed with a relaxed unzipped silhouette and Loewe’s Toron rounded top handle. You can get this bag for $4,550 at Net-a-Porter.
Sleek sunglasses, bold red lipstick, and a slicked-back hairstyle gave the designer ensemble an effortlessly polished finish.

Tracee Ellis Ross Pairs Jude Haze Mules With Willy Chavarria Bermuda Shorts
Outside the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen studios, Tracee Ellis Ross was spotted in another chic summer look, this time embracing a relaxed, menswear-inspired silhouette. The outfit combined polished tailoring with relaxed styling, creating a timeless look that works beautifully from summer into fall.
Ross slipped into a pair of Jude “Haze” mules in rich mocha leather, handcrafted in Portugal from smooth calfskin. The slip-on design featured a cutout upper that created a slim strap across the toes, giving the mules a clean, minimalist look.
Their open-toe, open-back design made them perfect for summer, while the 2.9-inch sculpted heels added just enough height to elevate the outfit. The Haze mules build on Jude’s growing collection of sculptural footwear, complementing the brand’s Haze pumps worn by Tessa Thompson and Naomi Watts, which share the same clean lines and understated, modern aesthetic.
These Jude mules are available for $540 at FWRD.

Ross paired the mules with a Willy Chavarria ensemble that could easily transition into fall. She wore a plaid button-down shirt that worked beautifully as a summer-to-fall staple, featuring a structured collar, crisp white front buttons, and long sleeves casually scrunched to her elbows for a more relaxed finish.
She tucked the shirt into a pair of gray Bermuda shorts made from a linen blend with a flecked, heathered texture. The high-waisted silhouette and wide-leg cut gave the shorts a tailored look, while the lightweight fabric kept them breathable and comfy for warmer weather. I especially liked how the longer length complemented the menswear-inspired styling while adding a fresh, updated touch.
Ross completed the outfit with gold hoop earrings and sleek sunglasses, pulling together an effortlessly chic summer look.

Tracee Ellis Ross Styles Black Prada Satin Pumps With a Red Embellished Pencil Skirt
For her Good Morning America appearance earlier that day, Tracee Ellis Ross embraced summer color-blocking in a playful yet elegant Prada Fall 2026 look that put a fresh spin on business dressing.
She slipped into a pair of black satin Prada pumps that added a subtle sheen while reinforcing the outfit’s tailored elegance. The low-cut vamps, pointed toes, and sculpted 4-inch stilettos gave the classic silhouette a modern edge.
Similar satin pointed pumps remain a celebrity favorite, including the Jimmy Choo Brigitte pumps worn by Tracee Ellis Ross at the Costume Designers Guild Awards, proving how versatile the timeless style remains.

Ross paired the heels with a light blue long-sleeved button-down shirt featuring an open collar and sleeves casually scrunched to her elbows, giving the tailored look a more relaxed feel.
She tucked the shirt into a cherry red satin knee-length pencil skirt that instantly became the focal point of the outfit. The lustrous fabric already made a statement, but the hem, embellished with tonal red gemstones that gradually clustered toward the bottom, created beautiful texture and dimension that elevated the classic pencil skirt silhouette.
Her open woven raffia tote added an easy summer touch that contrasted nicely with the polished Prada pieces. Ross finished the look with a sleek ponytail and dangling statement earrings, keeping everything clean and sophisticated.
