Overkill? Gabrielle Union steps out in double denim... and brings along a jean jacket too
There was once a time when wearing double denim was considered perhaps the biggest fashion faux pas around.
But Gabrielle Union looked nothing but confident with her style choice as she stepped out in New York on Thursday.
In fact, she took it to the next level and brought along a jean jacket in case it should get chilly.

The 42-year-old certainly looked in fine form for her age in a blue blouse and skirt combo, which she jazzed up with a pair of plain white trainers.
And the H-E Double Hockey Sticks star even added a dash of designer flair to her look by bringing along an expensive leather handbag.
Gabrielle was no doubt enjoying being back on solid ground after she was spotted indulging her love of water sports during a break in the Bahamas at the weekend.
The Bring It On favourite was pictured straddling a giant banana, along with her husband Dwyane Wade and his old Miami Heat sidekick LeBron James.

They looked like they were having a great time as they held on for dear life as the massive inflatable cut through the waves in the tropical paradise.
While die-hard fashionistas may think Gabrielle was being cavalier in her style choice on Thursday, it is hardly he first time in she has flirted with potential clothing disaster in recent weeks.
For at the BET Awards last month she was involved in a dramatic on-stage fashion face-off with transgender actress Laverne Cox.
The pair had turned up to present an award together in exactly the same outfit, with opinions divided on which of the glamorous ladies had worn it better.
Even the help are color coordinated: Gabrielle's driver appeared to be wearing a denim shirt too
