Gabrielle Union, 50, was oozing show business glamor as she arrived at Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood on the arm of her husband, Dwyane Wade, 41.
They had just attended the Truth Be Told season three premiere on Thursday. For her second look of the day, Gabrielle wore a trendy oversized blue and white striped blazer teamed with stonewashed jeans and black heels.
This comes after she hit back at critics who disparaged her for confessing she felt “entitled” to cheat on her ex-husband, Chris Howard, because she made more money than he did.

While speaking with ET’s Nischelle Turner, Union dismissed any criticism of her behavior as an example of unequal gender expectations.
Premise: Octavia leads the cast of the show as a true crime podcaster who, each season, finds herself trying to unravel a new case.

Season 3, which premieres Friday on AppleTV+, sees Union as a school principal who teams up with Octavia’s character to investigate the case of several missing black teens who have been ignored by the media.
