Gabrielle Union Shuts Down Facelift Rumors: Blames Stunning New Hairstyle!
Gabrielle Union is setting the record straight on those pesky plastic surgery rumors.
In a candid interview, the 52-year-old actress confidently dismissed speculation about a facelift, explaining that her go-to hairstyle is the real secret behind her youthful glow. “You can’t just vanish for six months to get a facelift — and trust me, I’ve never been absent for that long. Let’s get it right,” she asserted.
Union attributes her lifted look to a fabulous “high ponytail.” But don’t underestimate the power of a classic low pony when it comes to that snatched neck effect. “A high ponytail for a woman of a certain age is like a facelift,” she proclaimed. “A high snatched pony is all you need—and it won’t cost you a thing!”
With her signature slicked-back style stealing the spotlight on red carpets, Union turned heads most recently at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. She flaunted her gorgeous brunette locks pulled back into a chic bun, while the remaining hair cascaded down in sleek straight strands.
That evening, she paired her updo with a stunning gray gown that featured twisted straps and a figure-hugging design. Sparkling diamond jewelry and a chic printed leather purse completed her enchanting look, topped off with soft glam makeup.
Union also turned heads at the Met Gala in May, showcasing another stunning pulled-back hairstyle. With the help of hairstylist and Flawless co-founder Larry Sims, they created a shell-inspired look that was both timeless and futuristic. Sims revealed, “We knew we wanted to add a touch of mermaid to the hair, adorned with a starfish hair accessory.”
Her mermaid-inspired look didn’t end with the hair. She paired it with a breathtaking gown by Michael Kors that featured stunning scale-like details, blending a beaded silver top into a teal body and a flowing blue train. Talk about a showstopper!
