Gabrielle Union is flaunting her birthday suit about a month in advance. To recap her summer of sun and fun, the 51-year-old “chose the bare” and kicked off her Instagram carousel with a bombshell photo of her in an outdoor shower—completely nude, but without violating social media guidelines.

"I chose the bare," Union captioned the photo set, a pun on the popular question that took over the internet in recent months asking whether women would rather run into a bear or a man in the woods. The spelling was fitting, as the Bring It On star shared a snap of her in the nude showering under a refreshing cascade of water.

Gabrielle Union showed off some of her most stylish looks — and one glamorous nude shot — from her recent family vacation to France in an Instagram post published Sunday.
