40 & HOT! Gabrielle Union Kicks Off Early Birthday Celebration In NYC

Oct 23 | by Natasha

Gabrielle Union is making 40 look incredibly fabulous. She doesn't turn the big 4-0 till next week (October 29th), but she kicked off the celebration early last night as she hit the NYC streets with friends.

Check out her cute look inside...

Gabby kept with her usual basic black look, but stepped it up with her new bangs and straight tresses and great makeup. The "Being Mary Jane" actress hit up her rooftop "birthday toast" party at the Dream Downtown Hotel, and rocked a black jumpsuit from "5th and Mercer," a new line from her bestie LaLa Anthony and stylist Jason Bolden.

Chick is looking majorly grown and sexy these days, yet still fresh and fab. Gotta love it.

And as for her festive black & gold birthday cake...it was made by Bravo's Chef Roble in honor of the Courvoisier Gold sponsored toast.

Jaleel White was randomly there.

And the Birthday Girl tweeted:

Great time celebrating @dreamdowntown w/ @chefroble @Ms_Nix & #CourvoisierGold tonight. Thanks @CourvoisierUSA! #goodfriends #goodtimes THANK YOU!

Happy 40th Gabby!

40! She better hurry up and pop out a baby if she wants one. Perhaps she doesn't since Dwayne already has two....but if she's waiting for the whole "wedding" thing to happen first, child don't blow your last few years of fertility waiting on a man!

I am Thirsty! I thirst for some of Gabriella’s Birthday Cake because that cake looks so delicious, and much too pretty to eat! – Hey Gabby, if you want to try something fun, and sexy on your birthday, you should try a short medium “Jerry Curl Wig” because they are so sexy now; I’m not talking about those “Jheri Curl Wigs” because those are ugly! … Well, have fun on your birthday, and don’t forget to party like its 3012!

Plus, why does a female

Plus, why does a female always have to be around her man... Ya'll hoe rely on your men or lack there to be at everything??? Damn, the girl can't just go out with her friends without being asked where's DWade? That's why most of you're men leave because you don't have lives of your own... SMH... It's not even her BDAY, it's a pre BDAY celebration, cuz you can do that when you're actually living your life and not sitting on your ass all day!

Ya'll are crazy.. Maybe she

Ya'll are crazy.. Maybe she likes being more dolled up for her BDAY events because it's her DAMN BDAY!!!! This site epitomizes judging others simply because they SIN differently than you all... I'm glad everyone on YBF is saved and Bible thumping!!!! SIDE EYE at some of your comments regarding her relationship... Some of you probably have 10 babies by 12 baby daddy's LMAO!!! Yes I said 10 to 12! Unless you wiated until marriage to get fucked, STFU!

Where's DWade? Um, he does

Where's DWade? Um, he does have a job and is probably playing in the preseason games with Miami Heat right about now. The NBA season starts next week. Anyway, Gabrielle looks amazing. Happy Early Birthday to her. Looking forward to seeing, "Being Mary Jane."

LOl @ some of these comments

LOl @ some of these comments and that's a good question. Where is Dwayne? He is probably with his other woman or women (the ones that he and Gabrielle Union have threesomes with)! LOL. That's another story! I agree that she does not need all of that make-up and she does good got be 40 yrs old but she looks younger and I am sure you guys agree with me. Her hair style is so common and only looks good on certain women. With that said, I think she is beautiful.

She has on too much makeup

She has on too much makeup which is unfortunate. She's already a cute girl but she looks too made up and fake in these pics. I'm gonna have to give her 2 thumbs down on this look.

This is what you Should look

This is what you Should look like If you eat right, take care of yourself (moisture your skin and regularly use soap), exercise consistently, CURB the pork grinds, McDonald's / Wendy's and Burger King feedings. Putting A LOT of 20 someThing's to shame. Do the damn thing Gabby ;-D

Whatever! Fabby Gabby is a

Whatever! Fabby Gabby is a homewrecker deluxe, she broke her boyfriends family up and slept with a then married DWade and now frolicks with his children in Miami. People forget so fast what these favorited celebs do. She was with Dwade while married to his high school sweetheart and sons mother, I cant praise chicks that do this. Families are broken and the boys will suffer when all the lights dim. A Keys is the same way, I no longer support her music because that behavior is unfair. Happy birthday Gabby but youve been dipping around for the longest, and you finally "got" one, good luck in keeping him. You lose them how you get them remember this.

She looks good for 40 though,

She looks good for 40 though, I am not a Gabby fan I'm more of a Sanna Lathan fan and she's flawless are 41! I wonder if Gabby is preggers because her face look very full something looks a little off here. I do hope DWade marries her like Justin Timberlake did w/ his long time girlfriend now wife Jennifer Beals. Happy B Day and hopefully a marriage proposal will come next. God knows she has put in the work to get this man.
