How Zaya Wade is already a Gen Z fashion icon at only 15: 8 luxury brands that Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union’s daughter has rocked, from her Miu Miu runway debut to Louis Vuitton, Prada and Burberry
- Is Zaya Wade the next nepo baby to watch? She made her runway debut at the Miu Miu autumn/winter 2023 show at Paris Fashion Week – the transgender teen legally changed her name last month, too
- But her runway appearance comes as no surprise: Wade likes to wear casual and luxury pieces as seen on her Instagram, donning outfits from Valentino, Rodarte and Siedrés, to Alaïa and Tibi
The 15-year-old rising fashion model made her first runway appearance at the Miu Miu autumn/winter 2023 ready to wear show at Paris Fashion Week in March, strutting in a brown-green mini jumper dress with a matching jacket. She walked in pointed-toe kitten heels and modelled a brown handbag, too.
Parents Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union beamed as they watched their daughter hit the runway. In a joint Instagram post, they shared a video of Zaya walking and wrote, “She’s arrived.”
But before her modelling debut, Zaya has always loved fashion, wearing a diverse range of outfits. Here are eight labels she’s worn lately that prove she is fashion’s next rising star.
1. Rodarte
For her winter formal in late January, Wade wore an ivory sequin Rodarte column dress with a flower appliqué on the neckline and detachable tulle sleeves. She topped the look with a pearl choker and kitten-heel sandals from Dolce Vita.
2. Siedrés
Wade bloomed in a Siedrés ensemble consisting of a black floral polo neck top and a white-and-black colour-block skirt with the same matching pattern.
