@dwyanewade and @gabunion wear custom #AtelierVersace to the #MetGala2022. Gabrielle Union-Wade's gown gives tribute to the changing roles of women and the emerging Black activism which occurred during the Gilded Age. The dress is crafted in hand-linked metal crystal mesh with a plunging neckline and snatched waist, and features a platinum satin-effect lurex train topped with duchesse and a degradé of silk and hand-embroidered crystal flowers. An embroidered red flower at the waist pays direct homage to a gown worn by Diahann Carroll—a women’s rights activist and first African-American woman to win a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Dwyane Wade wears a contemporary reimagining of Gilded Age elegance, with a slightly oversized jacket and matching tailored pants crafted from white heavy satin, and worn shirtless. The number 75 is embroidered to the sleeve in celebration of Wade's selection to the NBA 75th anniversary team. #VersaceCelebrities #AtelierVersace #MetGala #MetInAmerica
