Figure hugging dresses are difficult to pull off, but leave it to Gabrielle Union to make the impossible, possible. For this year’s Vanity Fair Oscar Afterparty, she donned an incredible creation. Want to know more? Read further.

For the famed mundane event, Gabrielle wore a Valentino Haute Couture brown tube bead-embroidered dress from the Spring 2022 Anatomy Of Couture collection.

The Black beauty accessorized the look with Messika Exotic Charm earrings, a Messika Exotic Charm ring, MessikaToi et Moi‘ ring with 7.06ct and 17.04ct pear cut diamonds in white gold among other diamond rings. She completed everything with a pair of black sandals and a black marbled plexi Tyler Ellis Lily Clutch with gold hardware.

Union‘s hair was styled in a structured abstract ponytail by the expert hands of Larry Sims using Flawless by Gabrielle Union products while her almond shaped nails were painted by manicurist Thuy Nguyen who applied little gold flecks on them, creating a perfect chic combo for the outfit.

Look at how radiant and beautiful she is, and as someone who saw her during Fashion Week, I can assure you she is even cuter in person.
