Gabrielle Union attended the ‘Strange World’ premiere on Thursday (November 17) in a cold night in London, alongside her co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.

The reaction to her Valentino look was quite muted much to my surprised, but I have a feeling this Elie Saab Fall 2008 gown will be received far more favourably.

Firstly, this black and white kaleidoscope sequined gown sees the designer delve into his archives once again following Rita Ora’s EMA look, and secondly look at her hair.

Issac Poleon is a true artist, or should I say, hair contortionist? As he created magic through this incredible sculptural hairstyle that totally blew my mind.

My guess is that the inspiration behind this hairstyle came from her recent trip to Ghana with her family.

Back to the dress. WOW.  

One thing is abundantly clear, Elie Saab is back to retain his bling king title. 

Defined by a sequin-embellished profile this dress offers a masterclass in opulence and elegance.

What is with Gabby her end of the year gowns which attempt to force their way onto my BDOTY list?

Stylist: Thomas Christos Kikis. Hair Stylist: Issac Poleon. Makeup Artist: Esther Edeme.
