Gabrielle Union Just Clapped Back at a Troll Telling Her to 'Dress Her Age'
For the past couple of weeks, actress Gabrielle Union has been showing off looks from her latest upcoming collaboration with New York & Company on her Instagram, which seems to have a "eat/pray/love/travel/chill" vibe going on, in her words. Out in early January, her designs seem to encompass a range of styes, including seriously comfy (and cute) athleisure. But when she posted her latest sneak peek on Friday (December 28), a troll came for the actress with an ageist attack—and you can bet Union had the perfect response ready.
On Friday, December 28, the new mom shared a photo of herself sitting in what looks like a loose-fitting black sleeveless dress and chunky sneakers. She captioned the post: “All my unfinished work/projects from 2018 looking at me as I prepare my vision board for 2019 like 👀😒😐And a glimpse of my upcoming @nyandcompany eat/pray/love/travel/chill collection available next week! Sneakers by @lining.official.”
But one user apparently wasn't thrilled with Union's look. Instead of keeping her thoughts to herself, she let the Bring It On star know it in the comments section: “Can you dress your age please,” they wrote.
Union—who knows her way around a clapback and, in fact, just took down a mommy-shamer on December 7—certainly wasn’t going to let that one slide. “Oh I’d loooove to hear what you think is age appropriate,” the 46-year-old actress responded. “Please gimme allll the age appropriate fashion advise I didn’t know I needed in my life.”
Union's other followers had her back, too, dropping comments like, "Loving the look, I might steal it," and "u look you good luv, u killed it 😘." She also got some sweet support from her friend, Khloé Kardashian, who commented this morning, “You look beautiful 😍.”
Luckily, all that positivity seems to have shut the troll down. Here's to Union's spot-on clap-back talents, all the cute and comfortable-looking dresses a closet can hold, and Internet trolls knowing better in 2019.
