Gabrielle Union Packs On The PDA With Dwayne Wade In An Orange Bikini

Gabrielle Union is no stranger to setting trends, and her latest Instagram post is no exception!

The "10 Things I Hate About You" star recently gave fans a glimpse into her romantic summer getaway in France with husband Dwyane Wade, sharing some sizzling and flirty moments aboard a luxurious yacht. Union, 51, turned up the heat in a cheeky orange thong bikini, packing on the PDA with Wade while soaking up the sun.

As TikTok’s "very demure, very mindful" aesthetic continues to gain popularity, Union playfully engaged with the trend in her Instagram caption.

"Demure or nah?" Union wrote as a caption of an Instagram carousel on August 16. The post began with a stunning shot of Union leaning on the boat’s railing, donning a neon orange strapless bandeau bikini, complemented by a straw hat and beach waves.

The actress' question about being "demure" was quickly answered by a screenshot in the second photo -- a text she sent to a friend where she humorously described her look as “very mindful, very cutesy, very demure.”

The carousel didn't stop there. Union gave fans an intimate look at her time with Dwayne Wade, 42, including a series of PDA-filled photos and videos. One heartwarming image showed the actress gazing out at the ocean with her arm wrapped around her husband.

In another video, the couple danced together on the yacht's floor, clearly enjoying each other’s company. The most romantic moment came in a clip where the former basketball player lovingly kissed Union’s stomach and embraced her, highlighting the couple’s undeniable chemistry.

Union’s photo dump wasn't all about romance, though. It also captured some lighthearted and fun moments from the trip. The actress was seen diving into the crystal-clear waters, dancing with friends, and even showing off Wade's washboard abs in a close-up shot.

Their 5-year-old daughter, Kaavia James, made an appearance as well, with a hilarious zoom-in of her sassy expression. Union humorously captioned the snap, "Can I help you?"—a nod to her daughter’s famously "shady" personality.

Fans of Union are well aware of Kaavia’s "shady baby" persona, which has been a source of amusement on social media. In a March 2019 Parents magazine cover story, Union discussed her daughter's budding personality, revealing that Kaavia had a distinctive attitude even as a newborn.

"When I ask her a question, Kaavia responds with a lot of animation, and she'll pause so you can ask her more. She follows along, but she doesn't do baby talk. When people talk baby talk, she gives shady-baby looks," Union shared.

While Union's playful post flirted with the "very demure" trend, it’s clear she's mastered the art of balancing both boldness and mindfulness in her style. Whether the "Brat girl summer" vibes will be overtaken by a more "demure" fall aesthetic remains to be seen, but Union has certainly shown she can effortlessly navigate both worlds.
