After spending the last months of 2025 traveling to Italy and Japan with her family, Gabrielle Union is getting back to business with a power suit and commanding pumps in New York. The actress stopped by for an interview at SiriusXM Studios for a conversation with host Bevy Smith on Tuesday wearing a navy blue, three-piece suit and Jude’s Fame pumps.

The high-heeled shoes have been a popular style for the brand this past year, with Union being among the first celebrities spotted wearing the Fame heels and other styles from Jude on more than one occasion. The “Being Mary Jane” star wore the Fame pumps in a gray suede color. The heels feature an elongated pointed pump with a slightly squared tip.
The shoes follow the silhouette of a traditional pump but what sets them apart is their curved blade heel that has become their most distinctive characteristic. The heels measure 4.1 inches. The shoes are made in Portugal from lamb suede leather and feature a leather sole. She styled the heels with a Ronny Kobo ensemble, that included an oversize blazer with structured and exaggerated shoulders, a vest and wide-legged trousers.

The Fame pumps retail for $630 and are available in an array of colors and styles, including mesh, croc embossed leather, python leather and more. Union has worn the heels in a red bordeaux leather with another blue suit in May. Most recently, Tessa Thompson wore the Fame heels in white brushed leather to both the Vanity Fair and Amazon MGM Studios Awards Season party and the BAFTA Tea Party on Saturday.
In December, Jude founders Jurgita Dileviciute and Denitsa Bumbarova were honored with the Emerging Talent Award at the 39th annual FN Achievement Awards. Since they launched their brand in 2024, it has received a lot of exposure thanks to their celebrity endorsements from stars like Kylie Jenner, Nicole Kidman, Kim Kardashian, Tracee Ellis Ross, Demi Moore, Kristen Bell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Rose Byrne and more.

“Sometimes, we’ve lent shoes for a celebrity, and they’ve come back to buy a pair. We know because we see where we ship,” Dileviciute said to FN. “It’s very special that they have them [through stylists] for events, but they then also want to own them and buy them.”
