Gabrielle Union put on a glowing show in a stylish ensemble as she stepped out in New York City on Thursday.
The Bring It On actress, 51 — who recently stunned as she celebrated being named global ambassador for Knix — ignored the rainy weather as she enjoyed an outing in the SoHo neighborhood.
The beauty turned heads in a faded yellow blazer that was left untucked at the front and also wore matching high-waisted trousers.
She opted for a plain white shirt underneath and threw on a pair of chic black loafers that provided a bit of color contrast to the outfit.
Her dark locks were pulled back tightly so that no loose strands could fall on her face.

Union accessorized her look with a pair of gold hoop earrings to add a striking flare to the look.
She easily carried a black bag in her right hand, in which she could store a few things she needed during the drizzly spring outing in the bustling city.
Her makeup was glamorous and consisted of voluminous lashes and a warm blush to enhance her cheekbones.
As a finishing touch, the She’s All That actress wore a glossy nude shade on her lips.
Gabrielle was seen making her way through a busy sidewalk and at one point smiled brightly before heading to her next destination.
During a recent interview with People Earlier this month, the star opened up about her personal sense of style, saying: ‘I’m myself 100% of the time. I follow where my passion lies.’
“Today I’m in sweats and my Uggs, all over LA. But last night, honey, I had a split in my tuchus and a heel, which I usually fight back against the heels.’
“My style evolves daily and I dress how I feel and sometimes I feel powerful in a suit and sometimes I feel most powerful naked,” Union continued.

“I give in to whatever I feel because the expression through clothing will be much more authentic if I dress the way I feel and not as a pendant for someone else. That worked for me.’
Gabrielle also told the publication, “I stopped caring what other people thought and I realized that the thoughts of the peanut gallery don’t pay just one bill.”
“They’re not in the trenches with me, so why do I give them control over how I look, what I wear on my body, who I’m friends with, or the opportunities I seek? I’m myself 100% of the time.’
Union has been keeping busy, attending a lavish dinner in New York at the end of March to celebrate becoming a global ambassador for lingerie brand Knix.
She wowed in a white blazer, a black maxi skirt and a bralette top underneath.
The beauty also starred in a campaign for the company, and in a statement at the time, per WWDshe said, “I’m proud to work with a brand like Knix.”
“Their mission to inspire people to live unapologetically free, at any age and at any stage, resonated with me most.”
Gabrielle added, “Because when I stopped caring about what others thought and focused on what I thought, I felt powerful and free.”

In 2014, Union tied the knot with NBA player Dwayne Wade, and she became stepmother to his three children he welcomed with ex Siovaughn Funches: Zaire, 21, Zaya, 16, and Xavier, 10.
Gabrielle and Dwayne also welcomed their daughter Kaavia, five, via surrogate in November 2018.
While I also spoke recently People, the 10 Things I Hate About You actress opened up about being “transparent” with her children. “I think as parents we often never want to admit that we don’t know.”
‘Sometimes we have no idea and sometimes we need help or have to look up the information. We want to give the impression at all times that we are in control, omniscient.”
‘We don’t actually want to be that transparent, because we are afraid of being judged and we want to be able to determine how other people see us.’

The beauty continued, “And all that does is create an illusion of who we are and it closes the door to real family intimacy, real information and a real understanding of who your parents are.”
She also explained that she started knowing her own mother – who turns 77 this year.
“I don’t want to learn more about you at 77. I could have had a very different relationship with you if I had been given these stories and information and your fears and your hopes and your dreams when I was growing up.”
“So I want Kaavia and Zaya to know me, and not the illusion of what I want them to think,” Union said.
