D-Wade Takes “Metrosexual” To A New Level! NBA Legend Matching His Nail Polish To His Million-Dollar Watch Collection?? (PHOTOS)
Media Take Out has seen some fashion-forward moves in our time, but Dwyane Wade just officially took the crown for “Most Detailed Man in Hollywood.”
We all know D-Wade is a style icon, but lately, he’s been pushing the boundaries of traditional masculinity further than ever before. It’s no secret that the former Miami Heat star has one of the most insane watch collections in the world—we’re talking over $1 MILLION in timepieces alone. He’s got Rolexes, Cartiers, and Hublots in every color of the rainbow.
But our insiders noticed a very specific—and controversial—new trend Dwyane is rocking. He’s no longer just picking a watch to match his suit… he’s painting his NAILS to match the watch!
The Oscars: Black Diamonds & Black Tips!
The rumors started swirling at the Oscars this past weekend. Dwyane hit the red carpet looking sharp as a tack in a custom Versace fit, but it was his wrist and fingers that had people talking.
He was sporting an antique, diamond-studded timepiece with a sleek black face. And if you looked closely at his hands while he was posing for the cameras, he was rocking a fresh, high-gloss black manicure to match!
While we’ve seen rock stars and certain high-fashion models do the painted nail thing, it’s still a “shocker” to see a legendary NBA shooting guard leaning so heavily into the aesthetic.
The “Green Machine” Look!
If you thought the black nails were just a one-time thing for the red carpet, think again. Just days later, Gabrielle Union’s husband was spotted out again, this time keeping it “sporty.”
Dwyane was seen wearing a rare, green-faced Rolex (likely a “Hulk” or a “Starbucks” Submariner for you watch nerds). And wouldn’t you know it? His nails were painted the exact same shade of forest green. > “He’s obsessed with the coordination,” a source close to the star told Media Take Out. “He views his body as a canvas. If the watch face is burgundy, expect the nails to be burgundy by dinner time.”
Breaking Norms Or Going Too Far?
The trend of men painting their nails has been a hot-button issue in the Black community lately. While it’s a staple in the LGBTQ+ community, seeing a “straight” sports legend like Wade embrace it so publicly has some fans cheering for his “freedom of expression”—and others calling it “straight-up weird.”
Mase and Cam’ron have already poked fun at Dwyane’s “pampering” habits on their podcast, but D-Wade doesn’t seem to care. Between his $30 million career earnings and his gorgeous wife, he’s clearly living his life exactly how he wants—one color-coordinated manicure at a time.
Is D-Wade’s matching watch-and-nail combo the next big fashion trend for men, or is this a “flag on the play”? Let us know in the comments!
