A new sensation in the fashion world — she’s only 15!
Xayah Wade, daughter of retired NBA star Dwyane Wade and daughter-in-law of actress Gabrielle Union, made her runway debut at the Miu Miu show during Paris Fashion Week.
Wearing a matching jacket and brown handbag with an olive green dress, Xayah commanded the runway while her proud parents watched from the front row.
The momentous occasion was a proud moment for Dwayne, who shared his sentiments on social media. He posted, “I’m proud,” humorously adding, “I’m not crying. You’re crying.”
Dwayne couldn’t contain his joy at seeing his daughter succeed at something she loves and was seen laughing loudly throughout the show. After the presentation, he gave his daughter a big hug.
Xayah may have just hit the runway, but she’s no stranger to the fashion industry.
She’s already established herself as a rising star, shooting campaigns for Puma and styling her mother. self magazine cover. Her interest in fashion has been evident since her childhood, and she has curated her incredible styles and looks on Instagram.
Stylist Thomas Christos Kikis, who works with The Wades, shared a video of the show on his Instagram. He also said that they all “cried” when they saw young girls strutting their stuff. He also shared a carousel of photos on Zaya’s grid backstage and on the runway.
Zaya’s runway runway at Paris Fashion Week wasn’t without its challenges. She came out as transgender in 2020 and has been going through the legal process of changing her name and transitioning.
However, she has had the unwavering support of her parents throughout her journey.
Just last month, Zaya was granted a legal name change and gender assignment, and her legal name is now Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade. This milestone aligns the document’s gender markers with her gender identity, marking a key moment in her transition.
