Not surprisingly, it all turned into a big fight and Gabrielle Union’s character dumped them both.

In August 2013, Gabrielle Union was busy serving up looks at the 70th Venice International Film Festival.

While the then 40-year-old actress opted to wear a glam red-and-black Miu Miu look for the previous day’s events — a screening of DuVernay’s short film “The Door” — she decided to go bright and cheerful for the third day of the festival.

Gabrielle opted to wear a head-to-toe Prada look on August 30, including a pleated Prada dress that featured a v-neck and peplum detailing.
