Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade on Fall Fashion and Their Saks on Amazon Obsessions

“I have a problem,” Gabrielle Union confesses to ELLE, “I’m an online shopper.” And now that she can speedily browse Saks on Amazon, she admits, it could become an even bigger problem. “Probably more for my accountant than anyone else.”

The award-winning actress and founder of the hair care brand Flawless spoke candidly before an al fresco dinner at Swifty’s at the Hedges Inn in East Hampton. For the first time since the announcement of the momentous partnership, Saks on Amazon gathered fashion insiders and socialites together to celebrate. In addition to the bites and cocktails, the evening was filled with stunning outfits, especially from Naomi Watts, Union, and her husband, Dwyane Wade.

The couple is clearly enjoying the convenience of Saks’s curated edit now available via Amazon. “I didn’t enjoy shopping until now,” Wade confessed. “When it’s too much in the store, you lose me. But when it’s curated for me? It’s easy to enjoy the process.”

Union agrees: “You get all the perks of Prime’s fast shipping with Saks’s variety and luxury. It’s pretty awesome.”

The two also opened up about their coordinating style. “We get dressed on opposite sides of the room and somehow come out matching, but it’s never planned,” Union says. Wade added, “When you’re by yourself, you can wear whatever you want. But when you’re together, she needs to shine. And I’m just there to complement her.”

As for what’s on their wish lists for the upcoming season? “These dang [Stella McCartney] Ryder bags have me in a chokehold,” Union laughed, rattling off suede, snakeskin, and black variations that are already in her cart. She also shouted out designer Johanna Ortiz for her silk maxi dresses. “They make you feel sexy, but also let you eat. They’re forgiving, but still fly—like you walk in the room, and it’s ‘hello.’”

Wade, meanwhile, is leaning into what he calls “quiet comfort” for fall. “I’m looking for versatile pieces that transition well. Fear of God is one of those brands that gets it.”

And when it comes to gift-giving, the couple has their roles down. “I’m great if you’re ballin’ on a budget,” Union joked. Wade, on the other hand, claims range. “I play in both fields: high fashion and accessible elegance. And I listen. That’s the key to good gifts.”

Whether you’re shopping for date night or planning your own fall wardrobe, Union and Wade have you covered. And, yes, we took notes. Shop their favorite Saks on Amazon picks below.
