Gabrielle Union’s Instagram continues to be delightful and fashion-filled — and, as you’ll see if you get to the end, full of funny pics of her daughter Kaavia — up to and including Monday’s outing in a Stella McCartney outfit that I mostly really like. YES. A Stella outfit. THAT I MOSTLY REALLY LIKE. Look (and as usual, click the hyperlinks to load the page if the widget isn’t showing up for you):

The colors and the art-deco design are great, as are the yellow heels. Honestly, if Stella ever wants to design Serena some cute tennis outfits, this would work. She totally looks like she’s going to waltz into the country club and then swap in some sneakers.

This outfit, shown here on the designer’s IG, has very appealing Summer Day At My Beach Cabana vibes.

This Attico ensemble is pure Melrose Place to me (except of course she’d be wearing heeled mules). She has just shown up at D&D Advertising and is eavesdropping on Alison and Amanda hatching a plan to make Billy look moronic, not realizing that Billy does not need outside intervention to look moronic.

“That’s right, Amanda,” she is thinking in this episode. “I have stolen your client, and I will steal MUCH MORE.”

This is very Short Skirt, Long Jacket. In the sense that it is literally a short skirt and a long jacket. She looks really good in it, though. It was in honor of Michael Kors’s big anniversary show, and has that ideal Sleek American Sportswear vibe.
This one has a terribly perplexing bodysuit:

It seems incredibly perilous. One false move and ALL is revealed.

I don’t know if this was for a photoshoot, or for an event, or for backyard giggles, but it’s both very striking and deliciously ridiculous. If she pirouettes, she could scrub the dirt off her car.

I could do without the shoes on this Prada ensemble — though I realize it’s churlish to wish for interestingly hued shoes always, and then carp that these are TOO interestingly hued for the outift — but the skirt and top are great, and yes, she’s posing the hell out of it.

I assume that’s their home gym, and that the doors behind them roll up so they can walk out to where they park their cars/where their cars are brought to them. But the idea that they just wandered down after a party and decided to hop on the treadmill is most enjoyable.
She also posts her daughter Kaavia a lot, whom she jokingly calls Shady Baby because Kaavia has amazing stink-eye faces, and here is one:

The outfits are lovely, and I love this child and cannot wait for her to suffer no fools, ever, for her whole life.

I feel you, Kaavia. I feel you. EVERY DAY.

Full marks to Gabrielle for making bike shorts look both glamorous, and beside the point. (They seem utilitarian here, like cartwheel shorts, which is to me the only way other than biking that I can deal with them as fashion.) And Kaavia’s roller-skating ensemble is the best. Her kneepads look like googly eyes.

And their unconditional love and support of Zaya is wonderful — and is of course how it should be, but as we all know, too often that’s not the case. Much love to you all on this Wednesday.
