Throwback Thursdays #TBT: The Style Evolution of Gabrielle Union-Wade

From a high powered executive to a sassy cheerleading captain of a rival high school to an emotionally conflicted television news anchor, this actress’s body of work has evolved dramatically over the 20-something years she’s been in the business. And as her work has catapulted her into major success over the last few years, Gabrielle Union-Wade’s style has definitely kept up. Gabrielle Union spotted in a stylish outfit while out and about in New York City

Initially, this Omaha, Nebraska native wasn’t the red carpet star we know her as today. Should the time call for making an appearance, she was certainly a jacket and jeans sort of girl. And that simplicity at its core always stuck with her.

A fan of all things black, Gabrielle eventually took a liking to wearing more jewel toned pieces on carpets and at events. And with skin as gorgeous as hers, she can practically pull off any hue.  I mean, seriously.  Did she find and bottle the Fountain of Youth or what?!tbt-gabrielle-union-wade-51
