Steal Gabrielle's style in a printed skirt by Royal Jelly Harlem

Our love affair with the matchy matchy look is still going strong. But if you're yet to invest in the trend, allow Gabrielle Union's outfit to give you push in the right direction.

She was spotted out and about in a bold bralet and skirt combination, featuring a multicolored tribal-inspired print. We love the button-down front and patch pockets on this full skirt, and when styled by Jason Bolden with tan platform heels, Gabrielle's look is a world away from your average LBD!

It's by Royal Jelly Harlem, a New York-based brand inspired by all things African and the adventures of founder Maya Gorgoni. Offering clothes for both men and women as well as homeware, there really is something for everyone, so click (right) to start shopping.

Or if you want to stay a little bit closer to home, we've tracked down some tribal print skirts on the virtual high street. This Topshop split front style is our favorite, or this sequin embellished Yumi skirt is super glamorous. Try tucking in a plain white T-shirt and adding ankle boots to your skirt if you're not in the mood to match.

Growing up she believed that blonde women were 'the ideal of beauty' and 'if I looked nothing like that, then I must be ugly.'

Gabrielle longed to be acknowledged for her looks, but admitted 'I was never really looked upon as being pretty.'

With a host of successful acting roles to her name, and a happy marriage, the star seems to have finally laid her insecurities to rest.

The good looking couple have recently returned from a getaway in the Bahamas, with former team-mate LeBron James and MBA superstar Chris Paul.

The group were seen having a great time kicking back on a super luxury yacht, the Amarula Sun, off the Bahamian island of Staniel Cay.

They spent a few days anchored off the island, and could be seen riding jet skis as well as throwing themselves down a huge water slide and flying around in a water jet pack.

Making the most of the tropical heat the stars even enjoyed a ride on a banana boat.

They also visited Pig Beach, where tourists can take pictures with wild pigs in the water, but only Gabrielle was brave enough to venture out to see them.

She posted on Instagram 'Creepin on the pig like...' 'Me and Babe... #ILovePork'.
