Tracee Ellis Ross proved that you can still power dress from the comfort of your own home.

For her latest style moment, the actress opted for an oversized power suit complete with wide-leg pants. The comfy yet tailored look is the ultimate fashion statement to pull off in 2021 thanks to its polished yet relaxed shape.

The “Black-ish” star topped off her outfit with a slicked-back bun that showed off her statement earrings. On her feet, she wore a pair of white ugly sandals. The style looks very similar to Birkenstock‘s Arizona Premium Sandals that retail for $430 online.

The luxury leather sandal’s hefty price tag is thanks to its all-premium leather construction. The shoe is sold at a handful of luxury retailers online, including Bergdorf Goodman as well as via Birkenstock.

The high-end sandal’s silhouette is strikingly similar to Birkenstock’s Unisex Arizona Essentials EVA Sandal which retail for $45.

Opting for a white sandal like Ross can double as a comfortable footwear option and a style statement. As many continue to work from home and social distance, the ugly sandal continues to be on heavy rotation even for the winter season. The roomy sandal even allows you to wear the shoe with socks, keeping your feet nice and toasty.

In terms of personal style, Ross continues to dress to impress even as COVID-19 continues to compromise normalcy. Last year, the “Girlfriends” alumnus showed off an athleisure chic look from YSL from the comfort of her own couch, as well as modeled Bottega Veneta’s biodegradable Puddle Boot, which she dubbed her “favorite pandemic shoes.”

You can snag the $650 boot online. The designer rain boot comes in a few different colorways including pink, neon green black and tan, just like the pair Ross is wearing above.
