One celeb who always makes an appearance at fashion weeks both here and abroad is Gabrielle Union. Famously untouched by time, she always brings stunning looks to show front rows, so we weren’t surprised—but we were left in awe—when we saw her modern take on a retro bob at the Schiaparelli haute couture spring-summer 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week.
Union made a jaw-dropping entrance in a long, form-fitting black dress with felicitously placed mesh panels. But even if the dress weren’t off the shoulders, her hair would have come nowhere near the fabric, considering how short her style is.

The actor and entrepreneur debuted an asymmetrical bob styled by Larry Sims that was sleekly brushed back on one side and shaped into the stacked longer-in-front, shorter-in-back style that became so synonymous with Victoria Beckham a couple of decades ago. Union’s is a bit softer and more subtle than the often angular take on this look, and even with the Paris breeze blowing through her hair, it still looks so sophisticated and, well…posh.

Gabrielle Union has recently been seen in longer hairstyles, like beaded braids and sleek, straight, shoulder-length looks, so we can’t with confidence confirm that what we’re looking at is a haircut or a wig. But we can’t help but appreciate how she keeps us not only guessing but gushing about how gorgeous she looks in literally every hairstyle.
