Gabrielle Union wore a navel-grazing top with sexy shoes

Gabrielle Union has mastered the art of dressing in a refined manner. Whether she’s bringing back the peplum or baring it all, she looks great doing it — and Union’s recent ensemble has only further solidified her as a fearless fashion icon to take risks.

At the launch of Tiffany & Co.’s latest collection, Tiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams, Union wore a plunging Brandon Maxwell top that almost touched her belly button. A large collar sat flat on her shoulders, adding a preppy feel to this otherwise sexy shirt. A micro mini skirt from the same brand highlighted her legs and was complemented by a black and gold belt. Chunky necklaces brought the monochrome outfit to life, while patent leather Reformation heels were the icing on the cake, especially thanks to their strappy design.

The pointed-toe shoes from popular brand Reformation feature a nearly 4-inch heel, crossover ankle straps and a shiny shine. Whether you opt for Union’s exact shoes or a lookalike, the style coordinates perfectly with tweed dresses, wide-leg jeans, basic tees and more. Because of its versatility, you can easily wear this look to the office, happy hour, girls’ night out, and everything in between.

The strappy style is also surprisingly practical. With secure straps, you can walk with confidence knowing your shoe isn’t about to fly off, which is very important for commuters. A moderate heel height also adds the right amount of lift without making walking long distances impossible.

Consider these Sam Edelman pumps that feature a similar minimalist design, pointed toe, and shiny leather for an editor-approved selection. Lifestride has an even more budget-friendly option that includes a stretchy cross strap and a cloud-shaped insole, which definitely earns it extra points.
