Let Gabrielle Union Be Your Summer Date Night Beauty Inspiration

With nights on the town fast becoming standard practice (just in time for summer), a revisitation of date night aesthetics is essential. After all, we’ve all grown accustomed to quality time at home and face-obscuring masks, each significantly dampening the concept of glamour. For a quick lesson in bold beauty, look to Gabrielle Union, who stepped out for dinner at Nobu with husband Dwyane Wade over the weekend, sporting a look that demonstrated the balance between stylized and romantic.

A blunt bob, chopped to halt uniformly at the jawline, set the bar for a high-impact moment, its center-part sleekness leaning slightly futuristic, particularly when paired with a skin-skimming white dress. Union was up to the challenge: Her luminous skin made for an equally eye-catching foundation for sultry smoked lids and a crisp crimson lip. Together, the actress’s chosen notes made for a contemporary take on evening elegance, one that has us eager to test-drive some revamped beauty—and show it off in person!
