In January 2013, Gabrielle Union paraded her sexy legs in a gorgeous white dress and silver pumps at the BET Honors 2013 pre-dinner. She glowed in metallic heels and a chic, sophisticated dress from the Christian Siriano Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

The American actress and former model completed the ensemble with a Tacori diamond cocktail ring and a white box clutch.

I love adding metallic heels to a neutral dress, as Gabrielle did here. I’d give this shoe choice a 9.

Gabrielle wore mirrored silver patent leather pointy-toe pumps from Giuseppe Zanotti. She could have paired her white dress with neutral or brightly colored heels, but her choice of metallic silver pumps added a glamorous touch.
