Gabrielle Union has fashion critics divided over the blue-and-black Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2017 couture dress the actress wore to the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

On one hand, Gabrielle’s body was banging, her self-confidence was slaying, and her flawless brown skin was glowing. But on the other, Mrs. Dwyane Wade was wearing what could be best described as a confused half-bikini half-dress that would have been much better suited for a video music awards show than for an Oscars party.

For all the skin that Gabrielle exposed, she miraculously avoided a wardrobe malfunction unlike poor Mariah Carey. Do you think she looked sexy or trashy? Peep her risqué look.
