It’s simply too hot for real clothes. For Gabrielle Union, the only possible outfit to beat the August heat is a bright yellow halter dress that’s (barely) tied together with string. She posted professional and BTS shots of herself modeling the piece, from designer Kwame Adusei, to Instagram, accessorizing with just a simple bracelet and letting her hair fall around her shoulders in beachy waves. Now this is what we mean when we say “sundress.”

I cannot tell a lie, this was my first thought.
Ms. Union-Wade also posted a slo-mo reel of herself modeling the dress, set to “I’m That Girl,” from her friend Beyoncé’s new album Renaissance. Yes, Gab, you are that girl. She captioned the clip “40-FINE 😜,” a reference to her age, 49.

As SZA wrote on the photo dump, “I’ve prayed for fashion titties like this Lmao 🥲🤍🤍🤍 an icon.” Yup. I’d need the more supportive version of this dress, but some are blessed in other ways.
Gabrielle Union has been having a hot girl summer for months now; in June she visited Milan and wore a series of super-stylish Prada looks, including a crochet top paired with a micro-miniskirt and a fringe dress. She also twinned with her young daughter Kaavia in matching swimsuits. The Cheaper by the Dozen star and her daughter, with NBA star Dwyane Wade, wore red, white, blue, and purple floral swimsuits for Fourth of July; a one-piece for Kaavia and a bikini for Union. She shared the #dynamicduo’s video on her personal Instagram; Kaavia’s page, run by her A-list parents, posted a video of her lounging around with the caption “When they make you work on July 5th. Come on son. #ShadyBaby.”
Later in the month she had her hair styled into a faux pixie with strategic braids, twists, and curls for a night out in Los Angeles. Almost as complicated as this dress!
