First of all, I am very proud of myself for not making a joke about how it was brought all year by Gabrielle Union and her stylist, Thomas Christos Kikis. But the fact remains that they did bring it. She looked fab these last twelve months, including one coat that I’m probably going to covet until I shuffle off this mortal coil. Join me as we take a look back at the year in Gabrielle Union, which was very enjoyable indeed. (And there are a ton of looks on her stylist’s instagram that I wasn’t able to source photos of for whatever logistical reason, in case you’re looking for more to eyeball!)
