This week’s standout style moment comes straight from Salem, where Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) on Days of Our Lives brought serious fashion energy. Stepping out in a cozy yet high-fashion knit mini dress, Gabi has been named Soap Opera News’ Look of the Week for February 2–6, 2026.
Drama in the Details: The Power Sleeve
Gabi marched into the halls of the Hernandez kitchen while rocking a brown ribbed knit mini dress that made a statement all on its own.
While the body of the dress stays sleek and figure-flattering, the exaggerated bell sleeves steal the show. These dramatic sleeves create a bold silhouette, adding high-fashion drama that takes the outfit from simple to total main character energy. The dress is a perfect fit for a semi-formal event or even just a casual outing.
Naturally, Gabi paired the look with a pair of black stilettos and styled her hair in an updo with two delicate curls framing her face. After all, she’s a fashion pro herself. If you don’t know by now, she owns her own line, Gabi Chic.
About the Brand

AKIRA opened in 2002 as a women’s boutique in Chicago’s Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood. Founded by Eric Hsueh, Erikka Wang, Sarah Hughes, and Gordon Liao, it now has over 30 stores across 12 states, along with an e-commerce website and wholesale line.

Shoutout to the Team
Of course, this look wouldn’t have been complete without the talented hair, wardrobe, and makeup team at Days of Our Lives. Together, they created a statement-making ensemble that earned Cherie, aka Gabi, the Look of the Week honor.
