Gabrielle Union Went Topless Underneath a Leather Jacket

Gabrielle Union has embraced the sophisticated naked trend of our times: the topless jacket 'fit.

The multi-hyphenate, who showed off her fresh pixie cut over the weekend, celebrated her new look with a high-fashion stroll.

Union stepped out in N.Y.C. wearing a long brown leather Sportmax jacket, tastefully unbuttoned to reveal just a hint of bare skin down her chest and stomach. The actress and bestselling author paired her outerwear with a dark midi St. John pencil skirt and modern black GIA/RHW sandals. Union pulled it all together with a small brown purse.

Union opened up about her "#summerchop" on Instagram, sharing that she wanted to change the narrative surrounding dramatic hair changes for women.

"The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost, but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its' foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new," she wrote.

Between raising a toddler, setting new street style heights, and prepping for the release of her second book (!!!), she has quite a bit on her plate. Union recently blew off steam with husband Dwyane Wade and daughter Kaavia James, 33 months, on a family trip to the Hamptons and N.Y.C.
