While Gabrielle Union has always been one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, her style has often gone under the radar. But, after just a quick look back at her looks over the years, it’s clear to see that her style has always been impeccable.
From sexy skin-baring looks on the carpet, like her unforgettable dress at the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, to her bold printed looks, like the one she wore to the 34th GLAAD Media Awards, she has always balanced being a fashion risk-taker and a Hollywood beauty queen.
Getting ready for the 2022 Met Gala, for example, Union’s husband Dwayne Wade shared how much he loves seeing her grace the carpet. “I love the moment when I get dressed on my side and I walk to her side and I get to see her,” Wade told Vogue. “It’s like the first time all over again, you know? Every time it’s like seeing her in her moment.” How sweet!
