    Throughout the late '90s and early '00s, Gabrielle Union starred in a plethora of classic movies, including Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You, She's All That, and Deliver Us From Eva. Proving that she completely embraces her status as a Y2K icon, Union was photographed on May 29 carrying an unforgettable Prada bag.

    To grab dinner with her family at Nobu in Malibu, California, the actress wore a long-sleeve white lace mini dress. She accessorized her outfit with a pair of celeb-beloved heeled flip-flops in a tan shade, and carried a matching bag.

    The bag in question? Prada's iconic Moon Buckle Bag circa the early '00s—reintroduced by the fashion house during its Spring/Summer 2023 collection. Created from nappa leather and featuring rounded, bubble-like detailing, the Moon Bag has become synonymous with both Prada and Y2K styling.

    Although the Prada Moon Buckle Bag is a little harder to track down in 2026, Union's endorsement is a clear sign that Y2K fashion is here to stay.
