Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade’s daughter Kaavia James graced the cover of Parents Back to School issue.
Ready for her close-up, the young star was styled in a pair of age-appropriate silver metallic ballet flats. The cutesie pair was comprised of shiny metallic leather uppers with almond-shaped toes and thick straps that sat across the tops of Kaavia’s toes and fastened the footwear in place.
The shoe gave Kaavia’s ensemble a dainty finish while the metallic uppers offered a playfulness not found in most neutral footwear. It’s safe to say that Ballet flats have taken over in 2023 thus far, becoming a must-have item in closets everywhere.
Worn by children and adults alike, many top brands have reinvented the classic silhouette in their own unique ways including Circus NY, Sandy Liang, Chloe, Alaia, Chanel, Simone Rocha, The Row, Manolo Blahnik, Prada and Maison Margiela and so many more. The style is extremely versatile, lending itself well to any season or silhouette with ease.
For the shoot, Kaavia was outfitted in a plain white summery dress that featured long sleeves featuring a wavy lettuce trim and gathered detailing around the waist. Additionally, the young star wore wooden beads in her hair.

When it comes down to Kaavia’s mother’s footwear, Union tends to gravitate toward a few simplified styles. On and off the red carpet, Union can usually be found wearing sandals by Magda Butrym, By Far and Gia Couture’s collaboration with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. She’s also known for wearing shoes from Paris Texas, Tamara Mellon and Tabitha Simmons. While off-duty, Union prefers athletic sneakers by Adidas, Reebok or Nike.
