As individuals, the Union-Wade are always ones to watch on a red carpet event. Together? They’re unmissable. Last night, Gabrielle, Zaya, and Dwyane showed out in full force at the Out100 celebration in Los Angeles.
Union continued her love affair with Daniel Lee’s Burberry, wearing a sleeveless mini designed in the brand’s trademark check print. Zaya followed her step-mom’s cue in a teensy dress of her own.
The 17-year-old slipped into a black Ronny Kobo number that was trimmed with furry cheetah spots along the neckline and cuffs. Her dress appeared to pay homage to a look Fran Drescher wore in The Nanny over three decades ago. The night prior, Sabrina Carpenter happened to step out in New York wearing Drescher’s original dress from the beloved sitcom. Both Zaya and Sabrina weren’t even born yet when the episode debuted in 1993—however, they’ve clearly done their fashion homework. Dwyane, for his part, kept it simple in a white turtleneck, a denim jacket, and black dress pants.
Zaya has been popping up solo on the red carpet recently, but it’s been a minute since a family outing. In October, the trio were joined by their extended family at a party Dwayne hosted in Miami.
Union and Dwyane share a little girl named Kaavia, 6, who they welcomed in 2018 via surrogate. Gabrielle is step-mom to Zaire, 21, Zaya, and Xavier, 10. The former NBA star is also the legal guardian of his nephew, Dahveon Morris, 21.
Zaya, who came out as transgender in 2020, opened up about her bond with Gabrielle and Dwyane in March of last year. “They are such a giant support system and have always been there for me,” she said at the time, adding “No matter what happens, I feel strongest when I’m with them.”
