Zaya Wade has been making strides in fashion and is now a runway model. 

The daughter of former NBA star Dwyane Wade and stepdaughter of Gabrielle Union walked for Miu Miu's Fall/Winter collection on Tuesday during Paris Fashion Week wearing a green sweater dress with a matching jacket. In her hand was a Miu Miu bag with cognac patent leather flats to match. 

Proud parents Wade and Union sat in the front row to get the best vantage point as their 15-year-old daughter walked the runway. 

"She's arrived," Wade and Union wrote on Instagram after the show.

Zaya Wade also celebrated the moment by posting videos from the runway, behind-the-scenes shots and a video of her dad giving her a big hug after the debut. 

"To witness your grace is something," Dwyane Wade commented, letting his daughter know he was proud of her.

The former Miami Heat player has championed Zaya after she came out as transgender in 2020. He first revealed his daughter's announcement on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

"This is her life every day. This is no game to us," Wade said later on "Good Morning America."  "We're all about protecting her heart, we're about protecting her joy and to do that, we have to support her."

During the NAACP Image Awards on Feb. 26, Wade and Union accepted the President's Award and gave a speech about supporting the LGBTQ community while praising their daughter. 

"Zaya, you’ve made me a better human just simply by being who you were born to be: our baby girl, Zaya Wade," Wade said. "So baby, thank you for showing the world what courage looks like. I’m proud that I was chosen to stand in place as your father." 

The Wade daughter was joined on the runway by other famous faces including Mia Goth, who opened the Miu Miu show, and Emma Corrin, who closed the show.
