She's manifesting a summery Christmas with her newest 'fit.

The winter chill may be setting in, but Gabrielle Union isn't letting it bother her.

The Being Mary Jane actress stepped out in New York City's Times Square yesterday, Nov. 21, for a quick stop at Good Morning America to promote her upcoming film Strange WorldWhile the cut of her dress was giving nothing but warm summer breezes and ocean getaways, the pattern was simply screaming Christmas.

The thick red and white stripes—with thin blue breaks in between—were the embodiment of a wearable candy cane, which was a perfect precedent for the impending seasonal decor all around the Big Apple.

Meanwhile, the plunging v-neck, loose fit, and hemline fitted with beach ball-esque appliques make Union look like she's headed poolside, instead.

The dress comes from Loewe's Resort 2023 collection, though it is not currently listed for sale on their website. She paired it with lime green pumps for a contrasting pop of color, leaning even further into the holiday aesthetic.

But it was a late November day in the city and not a day in paradise, and while she smiled happily for the cameras, the cold certainly made itself known to her.

"Cold As Balls. #StrangeWorld 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣," she captioned an Instagram photo set from the day, which featured additional photos of the 50-year-old posing in front of floor-to-ceiling windows with several New York City rooftops in the background.

The comments were naturally full of fire and heart-eye emojis for the multi-seasonal look, with one person calling her "hella brave" for her lack of winter wear.

The upcoming Disney animation, which hits theaters tomorrow, Nov. 23, finds Union voicing Meridian Clade, a wife and mother with a history as a fighter pilot. The Clade family are "legendary" explorers, per the film's official synopsis, who must get better at working together in order to complete their newest mission. Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal also star.
