Gabrielle Union Elevates Sheath Dress With Heeled Thong Sandals at Proudly Haircare Launch

This week, Gabrielle Union hosted the Proudly Hair Care launch at the Babylist showroom in Los Angeles. Proudly, a sustainable baby care brand founded by Dwyane Wade and Union, offers specially formulated products designed to meet the unique skincare needs of children of color.

When it came to footwear, the actress opted for heeled thong sandals. This ‘90s style has been popular since its resurgence this spring. Footwear brands including The Row, Toteme, Tory Burch and Mango have all created their own versions of the popular silhouette.

The Row’s version is a sleek and minimalist take, while Toteme’s is a more relaxed and casual option. Tory Burch’s version is a bit more dressy, while Mango’s is a more affordable option. Regardless of the brand, the thong silhouette is a versatile and stylish choice that can be dressed up or down.

She slipped on Lafayette 148’s Petite Postcards Print Vintage Cotton Canvas Sheath Dress. The Postcards motif from the pre-fall ‘23 collection is exquisitely rendered in this sleeveless dress. The dress is intricately printed on structural Italian cotton canvas to create a soft, distressed look with a sun-kissed, vintage wash. The fitted silhouette softly hugs the body, while contouring darts add sculptural definition.

Union’s fashion sense has evolved over the years as she has become more comfortable with her style philosophy. Working with celebrity stylist and creative director Jason Bolden has helped her to develop her own unique style, as well as that of her husband, Wade. The couple has carved out a special place for themselves in the fashion world, and their daughter, Zaya Wade, is a rising star in her own right. It is safe to say that they are one of the most fashionable families in the world.
