Gabrielle Union Just Clapped Back at a Troll Telling Her to 'Dress Her Age'
For the past couple of weeks, actress Gabrielle Union has been showing off looks from her latest upcoming collaboration with New York & Company on her Instagram, which seems to have a “eat/pray/love/travel/chill” vibe going on, in her words. Out in early January, her designs seem to encompass a range of styes, including seriously comfy (and cute) athleisure. But when she posted her latest sneak peek on Friday (December 28), a troll came for the actress with an ageist attack—and you can bet Union had the perfect response ready.
On Friday, December 28, the new mom shared a photo of herself sitting in what looks like a loose-fitting black sleeveless dress and chunky sneakers. She captioned the post: “All my unfinished work/projects from 2018 looking at me as I prepare my vision board for 2019 like ???And a glimpse of my upcoming @nyandcompany eat/pray/love/travel/chill collection available next week! Sneakers by @lining.official.”
But one user apparently wasn’t thrilled with Union’s look. Instead of keeping her thoughts to herself, she let the Bring It On star know it in the comments section: “Can you dress your age please,” they wrote.
Union—who knows her way around a clapback and, in fact, just took down a mommy-shamer on December 7—certainly wasn’t going to let that one slide. “Oh I’d loooove to hear what you think is age appropriate,” the 46-year-old actress responded. “Please gimme allll the age appropriate fashion advise I didn’t know I needed in my life.”
Union’s other followers had her back, too, dropping comments like, “Loving the look, I might steal it,” and “u look you good luv, u killed it ?.” She also got some sweet support from her friend, Khloé Kardashian, who commented this morning, “You look beautiful ?.”
Luckily, all that positivity seems to have shut the troll down. Here’s to Union’s spot-on clap-back talents, all the cute and comfortable-looking dresses a closet can hold, and Internet trolls knowing better in 2019.
