Met Gala Monday turned into a very special day for Gabrielle Union back in 2014.
On Tuesday, the actress shared a never-before-seen photo on her Instagram story of the time she went shopping for a wedding dress at the famed Kleinfeld Bridal boutique in New York City.
In the photo, Union is wearing the same strapless Dennis Basso gown with a full skirt that she wore on her wedding day on August 30, 2014.
"Me & @kaaviajames godmother @deirdremaloney wedding dress shopping hours before the #MetGala2014," she wrote on her story.
For her actual wedding day, Union wore two gowns. She walked down the aisle in a ball gown before changing into a strapless Dennis Basso dress with a thigh-high slit and crystal and pearl embellishments throughout.
"Like most brides to be, Gabrielle came in with her stylist Jason Bolden with a clear vision," Basso told People. "But everything changed when she tried on gowns! Together [we all] decided that she wanted to be surprising. She came in wanting sexy, and to accentuate her amazing figure, but that evolved."

Hours after Union found her wedding dress, she arrived at the Met Gala in a two-piece Prada design that featured a crop top covered in Swarovski crystals and an intricate fringe skirt.
