Gabrielle Union Celia Kritharioti Spring 2025 Couture beaded dress Fashion Trust U.S. Awards 2025

While Keke Palmer went archival at the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards, Gabrielle Union went the Couture route—though you’d be forgiven for thinking her Celia Kritharioti gown came straight from a glamorous speakeasy rather than the Spring 2025 Couture runway.

The halter gown’s draped beaded details were pure 1920s magic. It didn’t feel like a costume, though—it felt like a clever and chic callback to a bygone era, with Gabrielle gliding across the carpet like she might break into a Charleston at any moment. The craftsmanship was immaculate, and the way the beading caught the light? Effortless drama.

With so much going on, it was a smart move to keep the rest of the styling pared back. Just a few elegant Tiffany & Co. rings, earrings and some strategically invisible PVC peep toes. No distractions, no fuss—just letting the dress and that radiant smile do all the heavy lifting.

There’s a fine line between theme-y and timeless when it comes to vintage-inspired gowns, but Gabrielle managed to walk it like a pro.
