Gabrielle Union’s fashion statement at the recently held premiere of Straight Outta Compton drew attention and admiration from attendees of the premiere.

The actress showed up wearing a sexy black dress that looked like a tuxedo in the front. The sheer material used for the back and sleeves lent a very feminine touch to the tuxedo-like dress. The dress was also designed with thigh-high-slit, adding to its sex appeal. This unique Akris gown was picked from the Fall 2015 collection.

To complete the look, Union wore a pair of strappy high-heeled sandals with a minimalistic silver Y-necklace.

She arrived with her husband Dwyane Wade who appeared in a casual yet trendy grey shirt, jeans and black boots. Wade kept his style simple with a gold chain necklace and a black hat for his accessories.
