The best part of creating garments designed for real life and real bodies, is getting to see them in action. And to see Gabrielle Union—a woman who's inspired us for decades—strut her stuff in Knix underwear is nothing short of an absolute dream.

Known for being outspoken about everything from her fertility struggles to her perimenopause journey, she's just as vocal about advocating for issues surrounding women's collective health.

A multi-hyphenate talent and screen queen, Gabrielle most recently added Knix Global Ambassador to her list of feats. Though a lesser known fact about the starlet is that she has excellent taste in lingerie. 

From neon-hued mesh to sophisticated sheer, the star of our Knix for Life campaign stunned on the set of our Mesh Collection photoshoot. Ahead, you'll find our favorite of Gabrielle's lingerie looks from the new sexy mesh capsule. 

 Comfy Meets Sexy

In case you haven't heard, sheer-everything is having a moment right now—and believe it or not, it's more practical than you might think. Designed for everyday wear using soft, single-layer mesh, Gabrielle stuns in the Mesh Deep V Bra

This wireless bralette features a deep plunging neckline, sheer fabric, and an airy feel that can be easily layered and paired with low-cut tops.  

But, of course, what's a sexy bra without an equally sexy pair of underwear to match? Sultry as it is sensible, soaring confidence is a known side effect of wearing Light Leakproof No-Show Mesh High Rise underwear with its peeks of mesh and subtle leak protection. 

Once again proving that sexy can be comfy, these period underwear absorb about the same as 1.5 regular tampons worth of blood, sweat, or pee. 

Bold Bodysuits

We love seeing the Mesh Deep V Bodysuit come to life on Gabrielle with its deep-v neckline and sizzling mesh side panels. She effortlessly proves our point: everyone needs a cool, sexy mesh bodysuit. 

Made with soft lined-mesh cups, the underwear-as-outerwear potential of this little number is virtually limitless. Layer this bodysuit under a flowy skirt or your favorite pair of denim, or take to the boardroom with a blazer over top. 

It's also perfect for layering under boyfriend jeans and a cardigan for happy hour with friends—though we're willing to bet you'll have slouched it off by 10 PM.  

Shades of Neon

Neon fashion has been making a comeback for a minute, it was only a matter of time until its welcome resurgence made its way to our top drawers. With warm, sunny weather on the horizon, we can't wait to see high contrast underwear grace summer street style. 

Gabrielle, of course, radiates in the Citron-tinted Mesh Deep V Bra and Light Leakproof No-Show Bikini combo. These comfortable, machine-washable period underwear feature Leakproof technology that absorbs the same as about 1 regular tampon—perfect as backup protection during heavier days, or on its own for lighter ones.
