Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa was surely in for a treat as the fearless Gabrielle Union posed poolside exclusively for husband Dwyane Wade on June 1, 2022. What better way to welcome in the glorious month of June? Beautifully so, the photo highlights Union's waist-length braids falling down her torso. 

The actor and co-founder of Flawless By Gabrielle Union has a way with hairstyles, and this post is only further proof. She brings creativity, functionality, and a constant sense of effortlessness to each and every hair look she showcases. But this time, in particular, she brought it to the next level. Bare-skinned Union poses, back facing the camera with her melanated glow, her arms stretched above her head, and her hands intertwined atop her braids. I am, as I am sure all of you will be, drooling over the entire vibe of this photo. Ah, to be Dwyane Wade… And as I took a closer look at Union's soft, neutral-toned manicure peaking through, I noticed a portion of her luscious locks swirled into what becomes a half-up, half-down pony. 

I couldn't resist but to deep dive into the comments, where the queen of captions wrote in response to one, "you already know what we giving this summmmmmeeerrrrr." 10-year-old me, an East Compton Clover stan, is proud to say that this Bring It On alum definitely knows the vibes.

Union, without a doubt, is constantly gracing the streets of Instagram with an abundance of self-love and appreciation for the body and hair she was born with. Her subtle over-the-shoulder smile says it all as she poses poolside to perfection. To the girl who keeps on giving! Thank you, Gabrielle Union. This is exactly the energy we needed as the summer season begins.
