Oscars night has finally arrived in Hollywood, meaning the film industry’s A-list has brought their sartorial A-game to the red carpet. The looks so far have run the gamut from simple and sleek to absolutely over-the-top, but no attendee has sparkled quite as brightly as actress Gabrielle Union is in her custom Carolina Herrera gown.
Union worked with longtime stylist Thomas Christos Kikis to create the look. Entirely custom gowns are nothing new at this point in awards season, but Union’s custom gown had a unique start: It began as two separate pieces! Both pieces come from Herrera’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection. The strapless peplumed top of Union’s dress is a mini dress in its own right, while the column-style bottom was originally a maxi skirt styled with a crisp white button-down shirt in the collection.
