No one could touch Gabrielle Union at Tuesday night’s ‘Meet Dave’ premiere. Her long, ‘70s-inspired magenta dress is the perfect shade and fit. It’s also a refreshing style, in a sea of oversized Maxi dresses and flouncy frocks that have dominated the carpets lately.

I also love that she kept the accessories to a minimum with a bold pendant necklace that complements the jewel tone of her gown, and a sexy clutch adorned with jade. (Will find out who designed the dress and bag and update accordingly, ASAP.)

Union is a study in knockout sartorial simplicity -- proving that a potent one-two punch of color and fit always wins.
