Gabrielle Union Sports Knee-High Boots and Pink Santoni Satin Sandals While Promoting Her New ‘Riff Raff’ Movie
Gabrielle Union took to the New York City streets in two stylish getups.
On Feb. 26, she opted for the matte chocolate brown slip dress from Fendi’s Spring 2025 collection while attending a screening of “Riff Raff,” a crime comedy in which she stars as the wife of an ex-criminal whose past comes back to haunt him. The bodice of the floor-length, chocolate brown slip dress was semi-sheer, while the skirt was almost completely transparent. The dress had a scoop neckline and delicate straps.
Union coupled the dress with Santoni satin high-heel sandal exhibiting unparalleled elegance and sophistication. Made in Italy, the bold, nearly 6-inch stiletto heel is supported by a platform for comfort, making them perfect for special occasions and evening wear.
For her daytime look on today, Feb. 27, on her feet, she sported a pair of classic black knee-high boots. Knee-high boots, popularized during the ’60s go-go era, offer leg coverage from the elements while still maintaining a stylish flair. These boots cover the calves and leave the knee exposed, making them a fashionable choice for fall and winter weather. They are often paired with skirts to show some leg while staying warm.

Donning a stunning ensemble from Proenza Schouler‘s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, the centerpiece of her look was a flowy fringe skirt that exuded movement and elegance with every step. The skirt’s delicate fringe detailing added a touch of playful sophistication, catching the light and creating a mesmerizing visual effect. Complementing the skirt, Union wore a sleeveless top that extended past her waist, creating a relaxed and effortlessly chic silhouette. The top’s clean lines and simple design allowed the intricate details of the skirt to take center stage.
Union is known for her impeccable style, which extends to her footwear choices. Whether she’s attending a red-carpet event or running errands, she always selects the perfect pair of shoes to complement her outfit. For formal occasions, Union often gravitates towards designer sandals or heels from brands like Paris Texas and Tabitha Simmons. These brands are known for their high-quality materials, intricate designs, and comfortable fit.
When she’s off-duty, Union prefers a more casual and relaxed style. She often opts for sneakers from popular athletic brands like Adidas and Nike. These shoes provide the comfort and support she needs while still maintaining a fashionable edge.
Union’s passion for fashion and footwear led her to collaborate with New York & Company in 2017. This multiyear partnership allowed her to share her personal style with a wider audience. The collaboration began with a limited-edition capsule collection that quickly sold out. Due to popular demand, the partnership continued with additional collections that featured Union’s signature style.
