Bond girls, take note.
Gabrielle Union may not be an official Bond girl, but after her latest look, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Bring It On alumnae managed to snag a role in the long-running spy franchise. Over the weekend, she was on hand to celebrate her husband Dwyane Wade’s Miami Heat statue unveiling. Together, retailers Revolve and FWRD hosted a James Bond-inspired celebration for the occasion and Union arrived looking like the ultimate femme fatale.
Union's long, slinky gown featured alternating rows of sheer black material and shimmering bands. It made for a graphic mix of shimmer and shine between swathes of skin. The dress also featured halter neckline and ankle-skimming length. The actress and mother finished the look off with a rhinestone-embellished bag and strappy black heels. Of course, it was a family affair as Union and Wade posed alongside their kids at the event.
The statue and the soiree (officially, it was the 003 Statues Are Forever Party, referring to Wade’s three championships with the team in 2006, 2012, and 2013) celebrated Wade’s “extraordinary achievements both on and off the court,” per a press release and guests included DJ Khaled and Tia Mowry. According to CNN, Wade is the very first player in Miami Heat history to be immortalized with a statue at of the city’s Kaseya Center. The bronze sculpture has the baller in his iconic “this is my house” celebration from the Heat’s win against the Chicago Bulls in 2009. To this day, Wade is the team’s leader in points, assists, and games played.
"I want to make sure that every fan, when they see it, you know, they remember my career and I think that sums up my career," he said at the statue's unveiling. "People are going to be driving and they're going to look up and I'm going to be like, 'This is my house.' I was like, 'That's gonna be pretty cool from the street.'"
