Here’s the latest on Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, and the Met Gala.
Gabrielle Union attended the 2026 Met Gala with her husband Dwyane Wade, with Wade stepping back on the carpet to let Union shine as the star of the moment. He described his role as supportive and non-dominant on the red carpet. This aligns with Union’s “Fashion Is Art” theme look, which featured a crystal-encrusted gown by Michael Kors crafted with around 170,000 crystals and about 500 man-hours of work. [Source: E!

The couple have historically attended multiple Met Galas together, often coordinating their outfits and making high-impact appearances. For context, they appeared together at the Met Gala in 2022 and 2024, with Union’s mermaid-inspired Michael Kors gown in 2024 and Wade’s complementary lavender-versace look noted in coverage of those events.
