If there’s anyone who exercises her prerogative to change her mind—specifically about changing her hair—it’s Gabrielle Union. She loves to hop from long braids to an asymmetrical bob and back again, often with a few other style stops in between. But despite how many looks we’ve seen her go-to hairstylist, Larry Sims, create for her, I can’t remember the last time she went with a style that feels so nostalgic in so many ways.

Union and hubby Dwyane Wade attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where the Academy Awards beauty bounty overflowed into even more enviable fashion and aspirational hair, makeup, and nail looks. She was among the most memorable, wearing a deeply plunging, silver Celia Kritharioti gown with an unimaginably exquisite starfish-like diamond and emerald Tiffany & Co. necklace.

A glamorous fit calls for glamorous hair, and Sims delivered, of course, giving Union 1990s supermodel vibes with a metric ton of volume. Her deeply side-parted hair was blown out and flawlessly curled to create big, bouncy swoops with smooth shine and softness you can feel through your screen.

But it wasn’t just ’90s glam that Union reached into the past for. Her hair was topped off with some seriously chunky highlights that take an early-2000s look and give it a sophisticated spin without compromising on bold contrast. The coppery, medium-brown streaks stood out against her otherwise dark brown waves, adding awesome dimension to an already outstanding style.
