Following an appearance on “Good Morning America” to promote her new Netflix summer rom-com “The Perfect Find,” Gabrielle Union stepped out for the opening of Aston Martin’s new Q New York flagship on Tuesday.

The actress served a subtle take on the ubiquitous sheer fashion trend, slipping into a sultry black look from stylist-turned-designer Brandon Maxwell’s pre-fall 2023 collection.

Union wore a sleeveless black minidress featuring a scoop neckline and zipper detailing on the sides over a sheer crewneck dress with a hem that hit just above the ankle.

For accessories, Union layered two Tiffany & Co. HardWear necklaces featuring the popular collection’s signature gauge links. She donned both white and yellow gold versions dotted with pavé diamonds. She also donned multiple rings, also from Tiffany. Further adding to her sleek ensemble, the “Cheaper by the Dozen” star carried a small black leather hobo bag.
