Meghan Markle, Kim Kardashian West, and Blake Lively All Have *This* Classic Dress in Common

In an Instagram post on October 29, 2024, Gabrielle Union shared a seven-slide homage to her 52nd birthday. The post is a collection of images, videos, and interviews that seem to represent Gabrielle — and how she's feeling — in this year of her life. In the mix of all that? A shot of Gabrielle in an outdoor shower, covering herself with a tiny towel.

It's no secret that Gabrielle is gorgeous, but she's taking any preconceived notions you have about how a 52-year-old woman should look and tossing them out the window. In her caption, the star wrote, "This is 52. This is grown woman sh-t. This is being accountable for mess ups. Being gracious when others mess up. Being open to being wrong and being proud and confident when your are right."

The caption continues, outlining even more of Gabrielle's birthday manifesto. She said, "This is loving passionately and unapologetically. This is clear and firm boundaries. This is sexy. This is audacious. This is fun and full of wild adventures. This is calling a thing a thing and not falling for the Okey Doke and demanding better. This is being alone without being lonely. This is enjoying nature. This is fierce and compassionate motherhood. This is fighting for my people and yours. This is me at 52. Loving ALL of me."

Seeing someone so bravely share their body, despite what others may think is incredibly inspiring. While Gabrielle is obviously a celebrity with access to plenty of products and treatments and other things of that nature, baring it all is still incredibly vulnerable — especially when so many people may act like "women of a certain" age should stay in their lane.

So here's to more women loving their bodies and embracing whatever chapter they're in!
