Gabrielle Union brought in 46 with a huge birthday bash this weekend that had the original Queen B perform — Lil’ Kim. The actress held a 90s-themed party at Byblos Miami, which saw the actress dressed up like Gwen Stefani. Pairing a cropped shirt that read “Gwen” with a red bra, Union rocked plaid pants and combat boots. She even wore a wig with Stefani’s signature blonde pompadour.

Her hubby Dwyane Wade was also there to support in his outfit, inspired by The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.

Based on her epic reaction, it is obvious that Union was not expecting Lil’ Kim to be in the building, let alone to give a performance. The rapper performed some of her biggest hits, including “Jump Off”.
