Gabrielle Union's See-Through Dress Combined Shimmer and Sheer

Gabrielle Union  may not be an official Bond girl, but after her latest look, it wouldn't be surprising if the  Bring It On  alumnae managed to snag a role in the long-running spy franchise. Over the weekend, she was on hand to celebrate her husband  Dwyane Wade 's Miami Heat statue unveiling. Together, retailers Revolve and FWRD hosted a James Bond-inspired celebration for the occasion and Union arrived looking like the ultimate femme fatale. Union's long, slinky gown featured alternating rows of sheer black material and shimmering bands. It made for a graphic mix of shimmer and shine between swathes of skin. The dress also featured halter neckline and ankle-skimming length. The actress and mother finished the look off with a rhinestone-embellished bag and strappy black heels. Of course, it was a family affair as Union and Wade posed alongside their kids at the event. Alexander Tamargo/Getty Images for FWRD Alexander Tamargo/Getty Images for FWRD The ...

As Prince William and Kate Middleton inch closer and closer to their 15th wedding anniversary, more stories regarding the specifics of their wedding day continue to come to light, with the latest update coming from Middleton's own brother, James.

In James's new memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life—he revealed that William and Kate's buttoned-up Westminster Abbey wedding on April 29, 2011, was followed up with a lively, tropical after-party. Upon taking his dog, Ella, for a walk on the property's "garden to potter around," he found an oasis before him.

"There, a replica of Basil's Bar in Mustique—a small private island in the Grenadines and a holiday spot the family had visited many times—has been set up," James wrote. He further described Basil's Bar as "social heart of the island," and said that celebrities like Jon Bon Jovi and Mick Jagger went to the "unassuming little venue" to put on performances.

"Now a perfect facsimile of it has been built in the grounds of the Goring Hotel so wedding guests can imagine themselves on the edge of the Caribbean while actually in the middle of a London garden," James wrote.

The owner of Basil Bar—who is named Basil—was so beloved by the Middletons that they were "one of the wedding guests." And as for James's dog, Ella "managed to visit the bar before any of the other guests."

James kept the rest of the details for the Caribbean-themed after-party to himself, but photos from the special day showed that Kate switched out of her white lace Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress into a flirty satin ballgown for the after party, also by McQueen.

Previously revealed details about the after-party confirmed that Ellie Goulding performed at Buckingham Palace, as well as the layout of the venue. A guest told the Telegraph, "there was a huge bar in the middle of the room, lots of sofas for everyone to lounge on when they weren’t on the dance floor, and a stage for the band."

Michelle Obama Put a Fierce Twist on the Pantsuit in Head-to-Toe Animal Print

  With just 9 days left until the 2024 Presidential Election,   Michelle Obama   is ready for a fight—at least, judging by her latest look on the campaign trail. On Saturday, the former First Lady attended a rally in support of the Democratic nominee,   Vice President Kamala Harris , in the swing state of Michigan while seemingly sending the opposing party a subliminal message with her outfit.  Looking fierce in a black and brown leopard print pantsuit from Theory, Obama wore a single-breasted blazer with sharp shoulders and coordinating slim-fit trousers. She layered a black top underneath and accessorized with a pair of black round-toe pumps. Obama continued the symbolism with touches of blue (the color of the Democratic Party)—including a set of blue stones that embellished her gold hoop earrings and a bold blue manicure.  Getty Her hair was worn in braids and pulled back into a low-slung ponytail, and she finished off her glam with a nude glossy lip and...
