The actor wore the sleeveless boxy mini to the designer’s New York Fashion Week show in September 2015. Aptly titled the Ellis dress, the ’60s-inspired silhouette is made from a lightweight cotton, making it which makes it perfect for late summer. He accessorized it with red bootie heels that add a pop of color (plus a matching red lip) and silver geometric earrings that matched LWD’s retro vibe, a very fun look that feels very Tracee.
