They star as action heroes in the upcoming television series, L.A.'s Finest.

But Jessica Alba and Gabrielle Union traded in their detective threads for designer duds as they stepped out in New York on Monday morning for an appearance on Good Morning America.

Jessica, 38, sported a matching black-and-green plaid set while Gabrielle, 46, rocked a sweeping floral gown as the pair headed into the studio.

Look chic in a Proenza Schouler co-ord like Jessica

Co-ordinate outfits have become a statement look no matter where you’re heading, so it’s no surprise that Jessica Alba caught our attention in this ensemble.

Promoting her new TV show in style, the actress joined co-star Gabrielle Union for a stylish appearance on Good Morning America recently. The genius that is Jamie Mizrahi worked her magic again by dressing the actress in this woven co-ord by Proenza Schouler, with black pumps and croc-effect half-moon bag to complete the look.

Look closely and you’ll see the multi-colored striped pattern that is intricately woven on the top and skirt, which both have raw trims to add some texture.

The retro-inspired silhouette of the skirt and crop top also tick our boxes here at Fashion Finder HQ. We just wish the set wasn’t so pricey, but if you want to splash the cash and get Jessica’s look just click (right) to buy at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Alternatively, get the look for less and shop chic co-ords by Zara and our favorite at Free People.

'We’re not saved by anybody,' Union added. 'We’re the ones saving people. We got to be the action heroes, comedians and a little sexy on occasion.
