- Hold on.
- To your love, you got to hold on.
- Hold on.
Get the party going.
- See, see. That's why you have to hold on.
- What's up Vogue, my name is Dwayne Wade.
- Hey, Vogue, it's Gabrielle Union,
and I'm getting ready for the Met Gala.
- Get my haircut, just getting ready.
This is the time, this is, like, pregame right now,
pregame and got me a little drink.
Got a little gilded in me, but I got a little, my wife,
well, my wife says, she said I got gilded
mixed with only fans.
- Meets a kappa step show at any HBCU.
Meets maybe a little bit of Baywatch.
So in rethinking of, you know, gilded glamor
and what that actually represents
to black people in America and who has represented glamor,
we always come back to Diahann Carroll, Sidney Poitier,
golden age of black Hollywood,
and Versace was on the same page.
- What I'm wearing to me is very classic white,
a lot of Versace gold.
I have my cane.
I can't wait to bust out my cane tonight, but.
Yeah, so it's very clean. It fits very well.
Why I say a little only fans, 'cause there's a moment
where I gotta take, I gotta open the jacket up
and I gotta kind of show a little skin.
It's not over the top.
When you're with your wife,
try to make sure that you don't get in the way.
- From day one, it's been a complete collaboration
from sketch phase, to tweaking of the sketch phase,
to accent colors. We had to work together.
It's the biggest stage in fashion.
It's the, the, the super bowl of fashion.
Just the opulence, the risk taking that you don't see
at any other point in the year.
- That excitement of when your name is called
and you walk up.
You know, I love seeing my wife in these moments, you know
sitting back as, and watching her walk the carpet
and watching her pose.
And just once again, look around and see where we all are.
You know, this is fashion, this is very important,
but there's obviously a lot of other things
going on in the world,
but to be able to have this moment,
to be able to come together, put on beautiful clothes,
and represent something bigger than ourselves is cool.
- So we've got Fiona Stiles on makeup.
- How's it going?
- And we've got Mr. Larry Sims on hair.
Also, my partner in Flawless by Gabrielle Union,
our hair line.
Thuy! Yes, Thuy on nails.
- This is my barber right here, Donato.
- Hello, everybody.
- Chris Smith, everybody.
I would like to take credit for what I wear,
but my amazing friend and stylist, Jason Bolden,
he, he has it. He has an eye.
I paint my nails cause that's an extension
of my creativity and art to me.
Right now I'm doing three. My number was three,
if anybody know anything about me.
Ready for the red carpet, freshly done.
Shout out to Thuy, thank you so much.
[jazzy music]
So, I'm almost done getting ready.
Only my jacket is left. I'm dressed.
I'm just waiting on my wife.
[jazzy music]
- They need to just make them for men,
they need to make them, like, a watch.
[people cheering outside].
So Jay, so when I was.
- But it is more about holding that.
Yeah.
- Like this? With that, was that what you?
- Yeah, it's more about that.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'd marry me.
So, I'm pretty much ready.
The thing, when you a man, you gotta,
I live off my accessories,
so my accessories are very important.
And so it's, it's the watch.
It's what kinda watch is he wearing, right?
You got a little, kinda little bit going here.
So we got nice accessories going on
because we don't wanna do too much.
And then we just hit them with a 75.
I was named to the NBA Top 75 Greatest of All Time.
So, we thought we'd just pay a little homage to it.
So hit them with a little Tiffany here and there, you know.
It's all about, it's all about the,
these little details, man.
That's all we got, that's all we got as men, we got details.
So now that I'm ready, I'm feeling good.
I feel like I look good.
I cannot wait to see how my wife looks.
I'm ready.
I love the moment when I get dressed on my side,
and I walk to her side and I get to see her.
It's like that first time all over again, you know?
Every time, it's like seeing her in her, in her moment.
I love the red.
The red hits?
[photographers talking]
- I don't know if I'm more happy for, like,
how great it turned out, or the pizza afterwards.
- The pizza.
- The pizza. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling hungry,
but I feel like, I feel amazing.
[upbeat music]
- Here we go.
