STYLE STAR: FEATURING GABRIELLE UNION
Thursday, August 9, 2007

Here is another edition of Style Star for you, featuring actress Gabrielle Union.
One thing I’ve always admired about Gabrielle Union since she’s been in the business is the level of class, sophistication, and elegance she brings wherever she goes. She can be on the red carpet or at a hot club in Miami, and still pull off a sexy but, classy look.
One to not wear huge labels, Gabrielle is a fan of boutiques and soft but classic styles. Not only underrated with her style, but with her talent - Gabrielle deserves this week spotlight.
SHE LOVES THE BELTS

BLUE IS HER COLOR

LOOKS GREAT IN SLACKS

IS CASUALLY FINE

HAS GREAT SUMMER DRESSES

I simply love her style. It is very nice and very sexy. She shows that you can be sexy and look fun and not have everything showing or hanging out. It’s good to leave some things to the imagine.

She looks great in every one of those outfits and she is very beautiful…
@ #3 I get a similar vibe, I heard that some people said she can be a bitch for real…but who knows…that girl Garnette or whatever her name is from the Baldwin Hills show, reminds me of her…

I don’t agree that she’s stylish…everything she’s wearing there was a trend… The belts, the color yellow, the potato sack dress, the color blue, menswear… all of it… She has done nothing more than follow the season’s guidelines… That’s not even remotely individual… How, then, is it stylish? Just my opinion…

I love Gabby and her style. She really represents black woman well. You’ve never seen her assed out or Tits bustin out the top. One thing that made me really like her was when I seen her on Oprah and she talked about when she was raped. I was like Wow…. That is a strong black woman. And for her to still walk around with her head held high, and be on point with her appearance, You go Girl. Keep doing you Gabby!!!!!!

Gabrielle Union mos def has IT. For you who don’t think you would like her if you met her NEWS Flash get over yourselves. Had a chance to meet Ms. Union is a very nice young lady very down to earth and a survivor. She was RAPED at GUN POINT and the gun tried to SHOOT her but the gun JAMMED. So pistol whipped her thus the scar on face.
This is strong couragous determined Black Sistah.

Please stop talking about her being raped… That’s inappropriate… This is a post about fashion. I think it’s exploitative… it makes people who might express dissenting opinions about her STYLE feel accused or condemned… It’s just weird.
55.
Dark-N-Lovely
Thursday, August 9, 2007 /
People should stop talking about how they might not like her when they probably will never meet her. However you are right, IT IS ALL ABOUT HER FASHION AND GREAT SENSE OF STYLE. The girl is hot but at the same time others are inspired from knowing that Life hasn’t been no walk through the park to her either. Whatever you’ve been through you can still pull yourself together and be beautiful inside and out.
But know your point is well taken. There is a time and place for everything.

Gabby stay fly……we dress alike.
And she is an excellent, excellent actress….girl can go from sad to happy to funny. Not every actress can appriopriately take you on a emotional roller coaster and make you feel the character. Loved when she played “eva (thought this bitch was evil for real)” and i also loved her in daddys little girls (she really did seem uptight and classist until she got off her high horse), hell, i just love all her movies, including “two can play this game (she played a good man stealer too).”
My she-ro!

She is a big fan of Nicole Richie’s style…she has said that she considers Nicole the best dressed star, so far ahead of everybody, Gabrielle said. Well that seems a bit inconsistent with the conservative dress… I think it’s because she has low self esteem that she keeps herself so safe, so easily dressed. I think most of you are off the mark on this one… I find nothing about her style commendable.

A friend of mine was recently introduced to Ms. Union at a big function in Vegas and she was so nasty to her, she gave her a look like “and who the hell are you?”. She was so rude and unpleasant. Don’t know if it had to do with the fact that my friend who looked indian but is indeed Trinidadian was introduced by a once famous actor from back in the day (who was just a friend).
Needless to say she didn’t have a good time coz all the black females there kept giving her dirty looks since she wasn’t all black, at least that’s what it seems because my friend is one of the sweetest chicks I know……
It’s a shame that us black women continue to hate on other women of color especially when we’re around successful and famous black men.

Wow, r u serious about Gabby not having a acting range? I mean she’s played so many different characters, and i think she actually played them phenomenally:
A over protective sister (Deliver us from eva)
A corporate climbing man stealer (Two can play this game)
An uptight workaholic lawyer (Daddy’s little girls)
Down for the cause DEA agent (Bad Boys 2)
Kick ass urban cheerleader chick (Bring it On)
Regular woman who just lost her man trying to find another (Breakin All the Rules)
Down to earth housewife Alice (Honeymooners)
Street girl doing the strip tease (Cradle to the Grave)
I think she’s one of the most underrated hollywood actresses, cause when home girl is on the screen, her beauty and acting just lights tne screen up.

This is the thing, it’s like you’re chosing her just because she is black. That’s strange to me. I haven’t seen all these style star things so I don’t know who else was chosen besides Rihanna, but it’s a bit disheartening to think that you would choose celebrities for no other reason than being African American. This site seems to cover, overwhelmingly, mainstream celebs, and the reality of our situation is that there just aren’t that many stylish mainstream African American celebrities. When you get past Kelis (who I don’t even think is considered mainstream) and Tracy Ellis Ross, who will be left? Because those are the only two stylish ones I can think of… Vintage Lisa Bonet, maybe? Erica Alexander, a bit? But there are lots of non African American women, and I think it closeminded to exclude them in a fashion blog.

If i’m correct, this is largely a blog for african americans, and so that’s why the stories are in large about black actors/entertainers/models/dancers.
If i remember correctly, Angel said the reason why they created the blog was because if you go to the majority of the blogs, they weren’t about black people, instead they were about brad pitt, jennifer aniston, angelina jolie, paris hilton, lindsay lohan, britney spears, and etc. So they wanted to create a blog that highlights african amercans, whether its stories that relate to blacks or concerns blacks, or whether its about black celebrities.

hope you weren’t referring to me because first off, i never said this is a ALL BLACK anything, i used words like “largely” and “mostly”.
And you said this is a urban site, not a black site, well at last check, there’s a huge number of black people who live in urban areas, dare i say mostly urban areas of the cities. Dare i say, urban areas are made up mostly of blacks…that’s where our numbers concentrate.

And why is it when you don’t jump on the Love Bandwagon for certain celebs, then you are hating.?? I never could understand that.
ANYWAY.. like I said before in MY opinion, she is overrated. I haven’t seen her act in anything worthy of mentioning or seeing twice. Her style is cute, but not trendsetting.

@#70, Yeah, I’m serious. I have not seen the honeymooners & daddy’s little girls, but in every other movie, she always plays the character the same way. She’s always a smart, sassy female who is on point with attitude. The variables change very little (man stealer, don’t need a man, career woman, yada yada). Perhaps that is what the role calls her to play, but it gives me the feeling that she dosen’t have any range because she does not step outside of that basic character.
I understand there are not that many roles for black females in Hollywood, so she’s gotta do her thing, whatever that may be, they all do. But that’s what I see, it is what it is.

Thursday, August 9, 2007 /
JSCENE, I do think that is probably just her personality. I actually live in AZ and her father lives here with his family, so she comes through now and then and does the radio shows, her personality seems to be consistent with what we see on TV. One thing is very sure, she is a very strong woman. After being raped and brutalized in real life, she has defintately wound up on top, so she deserves her props!

I could have better articulated my last comment… I was beating around the bush, and it ended up sounding worse than if I had just said it. So, here goes: Yes, this is an African American site, and yes we do need one as I am so sick of seeing and hearing about subpar, inflated, white people BUT it does not make sense to inflate more mainstream African American women. I said the same thing in that other Beyonce post… How does that make this site any better if you harp on the same few black celebs “mainstream America” has chosen to embrace…or let into their fold, I should say. It’s like, why should you invent things that aren’t true just to talk about the same old celebs, when it is certainly true for other less popular African American celebs???? I think that’s an injustice… Especially since, as I said before, there just aren’t that many stylish mainstream African Americans… Highlight somebody who truly deserves it… I think bringing light to them and their sense of style is ultimately more interesting, anyway. That’s all…

Hey Amber Nicole.. I agree that it’s hard to tell who’s real and fake in Hollywood… I don’t think Gabrielle is ugly or anything like that.. I just don’t think she’s stylish or gorgeous.. just cute or average looking..

#91 DeeDee..thank you! Its the same part over and over again.. I haven’t seen any of those movies listed by #70 except Bad Boys 2, Two Can Play that Game (just shook her ass and that’s it) and don’t want to ( all train wrecks). It’s just the same typical black casting and movie.. It’s boring.. And as far as Bad Boys 2, she didn’t hardly do a damn thing but kiss Will Smith! No range..

I BET THE ONES ON HERE SAYING THAT GABRIELLE UNION ISN’T ALL THAT PRETTY OR IS JUST AVERAGE ARE LIGHT SKINNED AND JEALOUS THAT A BROWN SKINNED GIRL GETS SO MUCH PRAISE AND ATTENTION FOR HER LOOKS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
YEP-I SAID IT AND IF IT ISN’T THE CASE FOR YOU THEN I AINT TALKING ABOUT YOU
IT TRIPS ME OUT SO MANY WOMAN WHO HAVE A HARD TIME GIVING ANOTHER WOMAN HER PROPS ESPECIALLY IF THE WOMAN IS ON THE OPPOSITE SPECTRUM OF BEAUTY IN COMPARISON TO THEM-LIGHT VS DARK, TITS OR NO TITS, ASS OR NO ASS
IT’S OBVIOUSLY A SELF-ESTEEM ISSUE IF DOWNPLAY THE ASSET YOU DON’T HAVE THEN IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT NOT HAVING IT-OR IF YOU DOWNPLAY ANOTHER PERSON WHO DOESN’T FIT YOUR IDEA OF BEAUTY (BASICALLY DOESN’T LOOK LIKE YOU) THEN IT MAKES YOU FEEL SUPERIOR
AND YES I’M TALKIING TO YOU SPECIFICALLY LULA PEAR-YOU SOUND LIKE YOU JUST DON’T LIKE HER-YOU POINT OUT THAT NOBODY SHOULD BRING UP THE RAPE ISSUE BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT FASHION BUT YET IN STILL YOU TRY TO SUGGEST THAT SHE HAS LOW SELF-ESTEEM-ARENT YOU CONTRADICTING YOURSELF? THAT’S NOT THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION-
JUST MY THOUGHT…….
IF YOU DON’T LIKE HER (GABRIELLE) JUST SAY SO-YOU DON’T HAVE TO JUSTIFY IT BY MAKING UP NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HER-SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST LIKE THAT THEY LOOK AT A PERSON ON THE SPOT AND DECIDE THAT THEY JUST DON’T LIKE THEM-SHALLOW BUT AT LEAST IT’S WHO YOU REALLY ARE-STOP FRONTIN

Co-Sign with BAILEY #121 its time people stop thinking that beauty only has one definiton.
when i see gabrielle union i see beauty in her radiant buttery brown complexion, her infectious smile, her class poise and grace.
why is there always at least one non black female imagining that black women are lashing out in hate because they ar intimidated by her.if anything the only other women i have every felt intimitadated by were OTHER BLACK women. but then again non black females like to think of black women as the least desirable race because it makes them sleep better at night it gives them confidence and esteem. people are quick to assume a black girl is mixed or not even black as long as she has a COMPLEXION ,HAIR TYPE or facial feauture that doesnt look like anything they consider “BLACK”. think about the fact that maybe it is not these females gene pools that have some non black genes, but perhaps yours has been “tainted” by black genes.

I understand and appreciate your comment… no matter how venomous or accusatory. Perhaps, I should not have mentioned her color complex… perhaps, it was contradictory… I didn’t see it that way. I just don’t think she’s stylish, at all… I will leave it there.
