For the big night, she wore a gorgeous Elie Saab gown as she walked the red carpet. Her off-the-shoulder gown was adorned with purple and black sparkles throughout. And she opted for minimal accessories, donning a stunning neckpiece, a bracelet, and a few rings. This gown is from Lebanese designer Elie Saab’s FW25 collection.

Complementing her bold look was Dwyane Wade’s soft yet suave ensemble. He wore a black suit featuring a large brooch tucked into the lapel. The couple had to serve their best. After all, it was a night celebrating film, artistry, and philanthropy. It marked the fourth Annual Academy Museum Night with an impressive lineup of A-list attendees.

Among the honorees was Gladiator II star Paul Mescal, who received the Vantage Award, alongside Rita Moreno and Quentin Tarantino. The post that featured Union’s look with Wade, was captioned, “#GabrielleUnion posed with hubby @dwyanewade wearing an @eliesaabworld FW25 gown to the 2024 #AcademyMuseumGala. Hot!

Stars like Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian in a stunning vintage Thierry Mugler, Zoë Kravitz, Kirsten Dunst, Demi Moore, and Saoirse Ronan also stepped out in style for the evening. The event’s co-chairs included Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, Tyler Perry, and Academy Museum trustee Dr. Eric Esrailian. Nevertheless, this was not the first Elie Saab dress for the actress, as she has often chosen the Lebanese designer’s brand.

The best Gabrielle Union’s Elie Saab moment!

One of her most memorable and iconic moments was when she wore a black gown to the Strange World’s London premiere. The gown was a black-and-white kaleidoscope sequin-embellished piece that perfectly complemented the event. And it wasn’t just the outfit. Her long hair was braided and styled into a flower shape, adding even more drama to her look. She made waves with this stunning premiere look.

Another standout look was the black lace gown that Union wore for the celebration night, marking the reopening of Tiffany & Co.’s flagship store. The dress featured frills cascading through several layers. Dwyane Wade’s wife has a deal with the brand. The flagship store initially closed in 2019 for renovation and reopened in 2023 with a party that featured a guest list of A-list celebrities.

It seems another look has just been added to the list, and it might be the most glamorous one yet.
