Gabrielle Union: A Modern Femme Fatale
While Gabrielle Union may not officially hold the title of a Bond girl, her recent appearance suggests she could easily fit into that glamorous role. This past weekend, she attended a special event to honor her husband, Dwyane Wade, during the unveiling of his statue in Miami. The celebration was organized by retailers Revolve and FWRD and featured a James Bond theme that perfectly complemented Union’s stunning look.
A Show-Stopping Ensemble
The actress dazzled in a sleek gown characterized by alternating panels of sheer black fabric and sparkling accents. This design created an eye-catching contrast between glimmering highlights and alluring glimpses of skin. The dress boasted a halter neckline and flowed gracefully to her ankles. To complete her ensemble, she accessorized with a rhinestone-studded handbag and elegant strappy heels. It was truly a family affair as both Union and Wade posed for photos alongside their children during this memorable occasion.
A Celebration of Achievements
The statue unveiling was part of what was officially dubbed the “003 Statues Are Forever Party,” commemorating Wade’s three championship victories with the Miami Heat in 2006, 2012, and 2013. According to press releases from the event organizers, it celebrated not only his athletic accomplishments but also his contributions off the court. Notable guests included DJ Khaled and Tia Mowry.
CNN reported that this statue marks an unprecedented honor for Wade as he becomes the first player in Miami Heat history to be immortalized with such recognition outside Kaseya Center in Miami. The bronze sculpture captures him mid-celebration from his iconic “this is my house” moment following a victory against the Chicago Bulls back in 2009—a testament to his legacy as he remains atop several franchise records including points scored, assists made, and games played.
Wade Reflects on His Legacy
“I want every fan who sees it to remember my career; I believe it encapsulates my journey,” said Wade during remarks made at the unveiling ceremony. He added with enthusiasm about how drivers passing by would see him captured forever saying: ‘This is my house.’ It’s certainly going to be quite an impressive sight from afar.”
