If ever you think all celebrities are one-trick ponies on the red carpet, you must not have explored the Gabrielle Union style evolution. The 44-year-old stunner, who captivated our hearts with her radiant smile and girl-next-door charm in the iconic '90s films Bring It On and 10 Things I Hate About You, has morphed into a bonafide fashionista. Join me on a walk (er, stream?) down memory lane, would you? When Union first hit the scene in the early aughts she—like Britney Spears and well, everyone—gravitated toward midriff-baring tops that showed major skin and accentuated her incredibly fit figure. It was a flaunt-it-if-you've-got-it moment in the best possible way. Fast-forward to today, and the Being Mary Jane star has completely elevated her look, opting for sophisticated designer cuts that favor shape and structure over skimpiness.
There's plenty of good reasons Gabrielle Union makes the best-dressed lists. Not only is she genetically blessed (prepare to gawk over her #nomakeup selfie), but she has somehow pulled off the impossible: Union actually looks younger as she ages. Her refined style evolution has certainly been part of this equation. From her sharp Armani pantsuit (talk about power dressing) to a thigh-high, one-shouldered Marc Jacobs gown, the clothing reflects the strength of the actress's talent and beauty.

When she's not all glam on the red carpet, Union can also be seen crushing the athleisure game in a fresh pair of sneakers with her basketball bae Dwyane Wade. As People reports, a sneaker boutique with fellow basketball wife Faith Rein Haslem (whose husband Udonis Haslem plays for Wade's former team, the Miami Heat) is in the works. As a girl who loves to get dressed up in heels but also appreciates a stylish pair of kicks, Union's business prospect sounds like a slam dunk.
