Despite everyone trying to manifest fall already (looking at you, Starbucks Pumpkin Spice), it’s still technically summer—and it will be for another month. The warm temps aren’t going anywhere just yet, which means there’s still time to squeeze in one more late-summer getaway. And to help seal the deal, I’ve already found the perfect vacation inspo for you. Enter: Gabrielle Union.

The Being Mary Jane actress recently took to Instagram to drop a sunny little carousel from what looked like the perfect boat day. Captioned “today was the good part,” the August 17 post shows Gabrielle soaking up the sun, catching fireworks and hanging out with friends (yes, that’s Jason Biggs in the mix). Her husband Dwyane Wade also made a few cameos. But let’s talk about the real star of the post—her boat day outfit, aka a bikini look so chic, you’ll want to recreate it immediately (and, thankfully, she tagged the brands).

For a day packed with sunshine and vibes, Gabrielle looked effortlessly glam in a two-toned swimsuit by Monday Swimwear (Serena Williams was recently spotted sporting the brand too, btw). Gabrielle's top was the Palma style in Ivory/Black, featuring a classic ivory triangle cut trimmed in black. She paired it with cream-colored bottoms from L’AGENCE and topped it off with black Prada sunnies. When she hopped off the boat, she threw on a coordinating sweater that pulled the whole monochrome moment together.

Of course, this isn’t Gabrielle’s first time absolutely owning a swim look. Back in May, she posted another carousel to Instagram, this time wearing a bold, patterned two-piece while lounging on an outdoor hanging daybed. With tousled waves, relaxed poses and a full-body glow, the vibe was straight-up “unbothered queen.”

So now that the outfit is sorted, there’s only one thing left to do: book the vacay.
