Here is a tidbit from People Magazine:
Gabrielle Union's Sexy Style Secrets
From bargains to bling, the PEOPLE StyleWatch July cover girl shares her shopping tips and fashion must-haves.
WHITE NIGHTS
You'll catch the actress wearing lots of white before Labor Day, but with good reason – beau Dwyane Wade plays for the Miami Heat! "Whenever you go to a game, it's a white-out – everyone wears white outfits," she says (here sporting Elie Tahari to an L.A. event). "I've gotten really creative with white. And if you don't go too tight, it looks good on most people!"
HOOP DREAMS
The Neutrogena spokeswoman confesses to a major hoop earrings addiction. "I live in hoops: classic, funky, high end. I've never seen a hoop that didn't agree with me," she gushes. That doesn't mean she's shelling out for her huge collection, though: "I love going to Cost Plus, it's so easy to grab a bunch. Funky ones, ones with splashes of color, all-purpose ones. They're like $4.95!"
CAMPAIGN PLATFORM
"The platform stiletto is a girl's best friend," she says of her go-to shoe. "It's sexy but not painful. You can really get your strut on without your feet being tortured!"
JUMP AROUND
The statuesque beauty makes pulling off a potentially tricky jumpsuit look easy, but she's got a behind-the-scenes secret: "My tip when getting a jumpsuit is to get a size bigger," she shares. "Nothing looks worse than when it's stretching across your hips and butt. A bigger size can actually make you look smaller!"
NO PAIN, NO GAIN
Who needs a stylist when you've got Dwyane Wade to help dress you? "My honey is into fashion, and he told me to bring it. When I walked out of the closet, he said 'Wow!'" she says of this Mandalay dress, worn to a LeBron James-hosted bash. "That was a night I suffered for beauty. I got wobbly in those shoes, but they looked great in the picture!"
BLING IT ON
"My rule for sparkle is that there's no such thing as too sparkly!" the actress says of ultra-glam dresses like this strapless Nicole Miller mini – though she adds that it's best to play down the rest of the look.
ARM CANDY
The actress, who says she gets fit à deux with Wade, is proudest of her toned triceps. "My favorite feature is my arms – I work hard for them!" she says. "I've never met a tank top I don't like!"
BEACH ESSENTIALS
The star’s vacation checklist is incredibly simple: "When I go on vacation, I pack sunblock, maxidresses, lots of bikinis and a cowboy hat."
JEAN-IUS
Of her favorite pair of jeans, DL1961's "Nicole" ultra skinny, she gushes, "It says four-way stretch and really means it. For girls who like to eat every now and again, girls with butts and thighs, they're amazing!" Her pals love the style too: "They really are like the 'Traveling Pants'; my friends borrow my jeans and they literally look good on everyone – on all different bodies!"
SAVING GRACE
"I like to mix high-end, designer things with funkier, less expensive pieces," she says of her signature style. "I go to Cost Plus and Target and get hoops or power cuffs. There are lots of great pieces you can have fun with. I call it 'balling on a budget'!"
