Best Dressed of the Week: Gabrielle Union in Akris Fall 2015
Menswear-inspired looks may be overdone but take a look at how Gabrielle Union manages to bring a twist to the popular trend.
Menswear for women has been done to death and so has the sheer trend but work them together and you’ve got a whole new ensemble that effortlessly fuses femininity into the rigidness of typical menswear-inspired suits. Which is exactly what Gabrielle Union showed us as she stepped onto the premeire of Straight Outta Compton in a sheer tuxedo-inspired dress by Akris Fall 2015 collection.
While the outfit may draw similarities to Emma Stone’s Christian Dior gown at the SAG Awards earlier this year, Union’s look was a lot less formal and oozed sexiness from every angle.
The 42 year-old actress literally made heads turn as she swished down the row of photographers and gave them her brightest smile. Now what was the true surprise of the outfit was the completely sheer back and sleeves that got cameras going off furiously.
Pairing the look with an Edie Parker clutch and strappy sandals that peeked out ever so often from the slit of her dress, we definitely love how she managed to bring a whole different world to menswear-inspired looks.
