Gabrielle Union wore a bold sheer dress to a screening of her new Netflix film, "The Perfect Find."
Union arrived on the American Black Film Festival red carpet on Friday in a floor-length gown designed by Burc Akyol, a French couturier based in Paris.
The gown featured a black bodysuit with a high neckline, long sleeves adorned with white embellishments, and a sheer skirt. Union paired the gown with dangling earrings and black strappy heels.
"Just enough to get a glimpse," Union wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday. The post received praise from several of Union's celebrity friends, including Taraji P. Henson, Laverne Cox, and husband Dwyane Wade.
The film's other stars, like Keith Powers, also attended the screening and took part in a cast photo. According to Netflix, "The Perfect Find" is a romantic comedy that follows fashion editor Jenna (Union) as she navigates relationship and career struggles while having a love affair with a younger man (Powers) — her boss's son.
Director Numa Perrier told Netflix that Union wanted to make a film that was different than her previous work.
"When I first met with Gab, she told me, 'I don't want to make a film like all the films I've already made.' We know and love all of those films and she's an icon, but she wanted to really open up more," Numa said. "That's where all that good stuff is. That's where you will do something that is really remarkable."
"The Perfect Find" premieres on June 23.
