Gabrielle Union Dazzles in a Crystal Dress Without a Bra This New Year’s Eve
Gabrielle Union continuously sets the bar high for trends.
The 53-year-old actress dazzled in a stunning silver gown while ushering in the new year. She showcased her eye-catching semi-sheer dress on Instagram on January 1, which she wore without a bra. The dress boasted delicate straps, a square neckline, and a tailored bodice, complete with a cinched waist and a flowing skirt adorned with sparkling crystals.
Union amplified her glamour with a flawless makeup look featuring smoky eyeshadow, long lashes, flushed cheeks, and glossy lips. Her brunette hair was styled with a middle part and voluminous curls.
She posed alongside her husband, Dwyane Wade, who looked dapper in a stylish monochromatic army green ensemble. His outfit included an oversized jacket, a fitted top, and coordinating straight-leg pants, topped off with patent leather shoes, a silver chain necklace, and an elegant watch.
“Wrapped in gratitude #2026 ✨🥂🍾,” she wrote in the post, receiving praise from her celebrity friends and fans in the comments.
“Vibes. ✨,” commented Michael B. Jordan, with Larry Sims adding, “🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤.” A follower remarked, “The Fabulous WADES 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯,” while another said, “❤️ So Beautiful and Amazing Couple.”
In a conversation with The Lift by Knix in March 2024, Union discussed her daring fashion choices. When asked how she approaches societal expectations regarding body image, she responded, “By challenging what’s deemed appropriate for a 51-year-old,” adding, “I’m going to wear the thong. Yeah, you’re going to see it.”
Union expressed that when she “stopped worrying about others’ opinions, the positivity began to flow.” She stated, “I refuse to be confined to a closet, waiting in a rocking chair. I will be myself every single day.”
She also mentioned that the term “age appropriate” hinders authenticity and stressed the importance of embracing “our true selves, our stories, and our bodies.”
“Feel valued at every age and stage,” she encouraged.
Union showcased her glamorous side again in September 2025 while enjoying a boat day in Miami with Wade, who is 43. She looked stunning in a red bikini featuring triangle cups connected by a matching chain, complemented by cheeky bottoms.
Union complemented her swimwear with a chic brown-and-white short-sleeve coverup featuring buttons and matching pants with a white drawstring.
The Bring It On star styled her brunette hair with French braids cascading down to her hips. She went makeup-free in the shared pictures, showcasing her radiant skin. Wade sported a brown swimsuit paired with a blue baseball cap and black sunglasses with a gold metal frame.
“Pier pressure 😉,” she humorously captioned the photos.
