Gabrielle Union is no stranger to the world of sports. From playing Division 1 soccer at university and cheering on her former NBA star husband Dwyane Wade to dazzling our screens as a cheerleader in Bring It On, she lives and breathes great competition. That’s why her latest partnership with Casamigos to celebrate the FIFA World Cup comes as no surprise. Ahead of this past week’s World Cup kickoff games, I spoke with Union on all things game day.
“I’m such a crazy sports fan,” Union explains. When discussing her favorite part of the frenzy, she mentions, “There’s the preparation, all of your superstitions. You’re gonna wear your lucky socks. You’re going to put on your lucky jersey.”

From comfy at home to courtside at a basketball game, Union gave us all the details on her ideal looks and must-have beauty, too. Keep scrolling to read what she had to share.
