Gabrielle Union stuns in vibrant coat as she joins The Inspection co-star Jeremy Pope

Gabrielle Union stunned Friday in a vibrant coat adorned with multicolored polka dots as she arrived to speak at a Q&A in Manhattan for her latest film, The Inspection.

The 49-year-old actress was joined at the event by her dashing co-star Jeremy Pope, 30, and famed producer Effie Brown, 50.

Dazzling onlookers as she made her way to the event, Union stole the show in her multicolored Christopher John Rogers coat.

She paired the statement piece with a long white shirt and cream cargo pants.

The A-lister’s hair was up in a bun and Khiry earrings accentuated her face.

After wearing blush-colored stiletto sandals as she walked in, the star changed into a Paris Texas-branded neon green pair before taking the stage.

Both Pope and Brown made their own fashion statements when they came in to join Union.

Pope plays the young gay marine in the film, while Union plays the mother who rejected him.

According to the New York Film Festival’s websiteThe Inspection is “a nuanced portrait of American masculinity and military evocation during the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell era, as well as a powerful, electric work of autobiography.”

“I was an entertainer,” she said Vanity Fair when discussing the role and how it changed her career. “Now I’m an actor.”
