In May 2018, Gabrielle Union took a major fashion risk at the premiere of her movie “Breaking In” at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood.
She wore a turquoise-satin blouse featuring oversized ruffled collars, paired it with baggy, yellow pants, then topped it off with a wide-brimmed top hat and electric-blue eyeliner on her lower lash line.

Gabrielle Union’s bold Marc Jacobs look sparked mixed reactions, combining dramatic fashion elements like oversized ruffles, mustard trousers, and Ferragamo wedges.
She did switch out the costume-y brogue shoes for Salvatore Ferragamo “Arsina” curved-wedge sandals, but the footwear change did little to save her look.
Do you disagree and think Gabrielle Union was able to pull off this blue-and-yellow Marc Jacobs ensemble?

The Salvatore Ferragamo “Arsina” sandals prove that curved-wedge shoes are here to stay! Though not as extreme as Lady Gaga’s no-heel platforms, the 4.1-inch s-shaped wedges of these sandals are curved enough to give that floating heel illusion.
