Gabrielle Union Just Confirmed This One Denim Trend Is Chic for Any Occasion

Leave it to Gabrielle Union to throw all of the fashion rules out the window. During Kate Spade New York's dinner celebration of the brand's latest book, It's So You: The Joy of Personal Style, Union wore the denim trend that stylish people everywhere love but some people scoff at: denim at night. The actress, joined by friends of the brand at Downtown legendary hot spot Indochine, wore a pair of effortlessly slouched wide-leg jeans with a trendy emerald sequin top.
New York style, and Kate Spade New York, is nothing but a mix of chic high and low items that, when paired together, deliver a fun, eclectic vibe. Just like the rest of the brand's guests (including Everything Everywhere All at Once actress Stephanie Hsu and TikTok star and actress Delaney Rowe), Union celebrated the night in style and heritage, a nod to the brand's 30th anniversary from earlier this year.
If you're looking to get your own Gab Union–inspired denim look, opt for a pair of loose-fitting, low- or mid-rise jeans in combination with a statement going-out top.
