Gabrielle Union ushered in fall in earth tones at Burberry‘s spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection show during London Fashion Week on Monday. The “Bring It On” alum sat in the front row for the British luxury brand’s showcase.

Union opted for a brown flowing dress with a plunging neckline, layered under a long-sleeve coat with sharp lapels. The coat featured a complementary shade of camel, accenting the brown dress.

The dress featured an ornate paisley design, delicate beading and shimmering elements throughout. Additional details included ruffles at the hemline, neckline and waist for a defined look.

Union continued the autumnal color scheme wearing the Burberry Bay sandal heels in brown and a chocolate brown bag. The actress’ makeup featured a bold eye, rosy blush and a soft pink lip, while her hair was styled in sleek waves.

The British luxury fashion house’s spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection featured riffs on the classic trenchcoat, muted cool tones and a few additions of shimmering statement dresses. Grays and blues were prominently featured throughout the collection, while a shimmering gold dress presented a contrast.

“We were searching to bring more optimism, a sense of joy, lightness and summertime to Burberry, which isn’t typically a summertime brand. But the color still felt relevant. The muted tones still had the sense of the outdoors, of things that don’t feel too precious. You can wear them day to night. That’s what Burberry is for,” Daniel Lee, the chief creative officer of Burberry, said of the collection, per Samantha Conti’s reporting for WWD.

Lee helmed the spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, which debuted in London’s National Theatre. The British luxury fashion house is a longtime supporter of the arts.
