Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade Share Their Must-Have Fall Fashion Picks
'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.

'Harlan Coben's best yet': Lazarus is the 'gripping psychological horror' series full of eerie twists
ICYMI: novelist Harlan Coben has been behind some of the biggest thriller shows of recent years, with his books being adapted into hits like Missing You, Fool Me Once and the forthcoming I Will Find You. He also has an amazing new project in the works which is said to debut in autumn 2025. While the author's novels have been repeatedly adapted for television, this time, he's written a show directly for the small screen. "I thought, 'I could write this as a novel, but I'm seeing it as a TV series'. It's a little more of a ghost story, very visual," Coben told Radio Times. Intrigued? We thought so. Here's what you need to know. Lazarus was announced in February 2024, with Variety reporting that Amazon had ordered a limited series written by Coben and screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst, from the Fool Me Once team. Coben is under a deal at Netflix that covers a number of his novels, but as this project with Amazon is original material, it doesn't appear to fall under the scope of that deal. The official synopsis of the thriller reveals: "Lazarus follows a man who returns home after his father's death and begins to have disturbing experiences that can't be explained. "He quickly becomes entangled in a series of cold-case murders as he grapples with the mystery of his father's death and his sister's murder 25 years ago..." Intrigued? We thought so! The cast of Lazarus is already looking seriously juicy, with Bill Nighy and Peaky Blinders' Sam Claflin attached. The series is due to be released in the autumn of 2025, but an official date has yet to be released.

30 Easy Ways To Look More Polished And Put-Together
Set alarms to make sure you're sticking to a schedule!

I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would.

Also, it doesn't make hair grow back coarser or darker." —Ellen R. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.99. Obtain the ballerina bun of your dreams by way of these Goody spin hair pins — just one pin can do the work of up to *20* hairpins. How does it work, you ask?

I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust can." —Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors packs).

The best part? It's so easy. No expert drawing skills required (unlike your regular brow pencil). Promising review: "So incredibly happy with this. It's incredibly easy to apply (I have to really wipe my wand first, though, or else it's too thick), and the color blends in SO well with my natural color. It gives my eyebrows JUST the right amount of attention; not too much, not too little. Just killer, natural, beautiful brows!" —Monique FrenchGet it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in six shades). Make "cleaning" as easy as one, two, spritz with a no-scrub Wet & Forget cleaner. This no-rinse product should be used weekly to keep your shower free of mildew, which basically means it will take all of two seconds to feel like you've deep-cleaned the place in which you bathe. Promising review: "This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves shower clean with no scrubbing actually necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is designed very well, with squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a longish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for quite a while now, and I love it. I highly recommend it." —Stephanie MartinGet it from Amazon for $20.98.

Lit-from-within radiance *and* sun protection in one swipe? Perfection. Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles and it doesn't dull or smudge them, it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup, other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it love it love it." —KristenBGet it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes/quantities). Running errands? Or I guess, well, actually running? May we present the tennis dress with built-in bike shorts, a put-together upgrade to the leggings you usually wear. This was described by one reviewer as being "perfect for a hot day" which is music to the ears of anyone who is perpetually sweaty. Promising review: "It's been feeling like 100 degrees this summer, and when I have to run errands, I don't want to be dripping sweat in a bra, shirt, AND shorts. I love this because everything is built in, the bra, shorts, and the dress are so cute! Keeps me cool and I feel confident in it! Perfect for a hot day." —JessGet it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors). Cackle in the face of coffee rings by way of a reversible waterproof desk mat — because if you don't have a space large enough to accommodate a fancy WFH set-up? Well, same. But slapping this bebe on your living room coffee table at least gives the *feeling* of typing away at a genuine office desk. Promising review: "I'm an art teacher, and working from home during the coronavirus outbreak was going to put a lot of strain on my wood desk (which I keep mostly for show but now am forced to use for work). I ordered this desk pad because mint green is my favorite color, and I wanted something to protect my desk from paint and other art supplies. It arrived today, and it was so cute! It's exactly what I wanted. It's thin enough not to add too much bulk to the desk, the color is so fun, and it wipes off easily. I love that it's reversible, too, so I'll probably use one side for making tutorial videos for my classes and the other for when I'm painting. I was worried that it wouldn't lie flat because it came rolled up, but it lay flat immediately. And it came with a cute little belt in case I need to roll it back up again and store it!" —Jill SGet it from Amazon for $8.90+ (available in two colors). Bliss = being able to remove the plastered pet fur on your black leggings within seconds. Pick up every speck of gunk that's attached itself to your clothing via this lint remover, a beast at making plain black tees look crisp and straight out of the dryer. Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding, no matter what I do. After using this, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). Another way to ensure a quick breakfast (unlike those irksome TV characters who have a bite of toast and say "gotta run" to the parent who has just prepared a gourmet meal)? Prepping frozen fruit every Sunday — just measure ingredients, pop 'em in a reusable Stasher bag, and store in your freezer! These smoothie recipes are delicious, simple, and will take no more than a few minutes to prepare. Promising review: "I've been needing a container to hold my prepped smoothies in the freezer and this is the perfect solution. I avoid plastic, so this is a great substitution. My fruit doesn't stick to the sides of the pouch and it can hold the perfect amount of fruit for one large smoothie. Happy with this purchase." —Anna Young Get the Stasher bags from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in multiple colors and sizes). To learn more, check out "12 Ways To Make Healthy Smoothies." And if "food prep" is simply not in your vocab, the Dash portable blender is great for on-the-go. Dump in your favorite ingredients, press the blend button while walking to your car, and you've got yourself a delicious breakfast. Plus, the compact design means no precious kitchen storage will be harmed. Promising review: "I am slowly buying all the Dash products. They are the perfect size for a single person in a small apartment. They are good-looking and do the job perfectly." —SeattleReign Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors).

Prevent clutter in your living space (and stop telling yourself you'll "do it later") by following the one-minute rule. Basically, this motto means tackling mundane tasks that take 60 seconds or less — whether that's making your bed or putting that coffee mug in the dishwasher. It'll be so much easier to focus on work when you don't have these annoying to-dos hanging over your head! To learn more, check out "I Lived By The One-Minute Rule For An Entire Week". Nip brassiness in the bud with a cult-favorite Fanola purple shampoo. The violet pigment in this formula works to wash away unwanted yellow in your 'do, meaning you can extend the time between salon visits — and the benefits of that are two-fold. You'll save a ton of money on appointments, plus won't have to subject your hair to additional bleaches and dye that will (I'm sorry to tell you this) cause additional damage. Use this only once a week (for about three minutes at a time) to prevent your hair from turning a slightly lavender shade. Promising review: "Finally! A purple shampoo that actually does something to my brassy hair! I have silver-white hair that is exceptionally hard to maintain due to how easily my hair gains brassy tones and how stubborn they are to remove. I've tried a ton of other brands, and none of their toning shampoos will do a damn thing to my hair even if I leave them on for an hour. I normally have to dilute violet direct dyes to make a dent in my brass. It's nice to not have to schedule a chunk of time to mix a batch of custom toner, painstakingly apply it, and then sit around for an hour while it does its stuff. This shampoo actually works really well and can cut a lot of time out of my bi-weekly color maintenance." —AudreyGet it from Amazon for $17.24. Replace leggings with linen pants, a happy medium for looking like you tried without compromising comfort. (Side note: If you're traveling this summer, these are perfect "touring around a new city" pant.) Promising review: "I bought these for a summer trip to Europe and want to wear them every single day. They're very lightweight, comfortable, and were great for travel days on trains." —AlyssaGet it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 15 colors). Turn any bra into a no-show racerback with the help of these handy dandy adjustable clip holders. Long gone will be the days of —> put on shirt —> bra shows —> take off shirt to change bra —> put shirt back on again. Not to be dramatic, but these clips will change your life when you're in a rush (which is always), not to mention these will make any ensemble will look 10x more crisp without colorful straps peeking through. Promising review: "My bra straps spend more time off my shoulders than on — but NOT ANYMORE. I was hoping something like this existed and when I found it, I was so happy. They're as glorious as I expected them to be. These are life-changing." —Amanda Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.97 (available in six colors). Tame baby hairs in a jiffy with this plant-based gel cream, which ought to help those pesky flyaways that no amount of brushing can get rid of. The best part? This formula is non-greasy, completely transparent, the mascara wand makes it super easy to apply, and will make your 'do look more polished with basically no effort required. Promising review: "I have super fine hair with lots of breakage and no matter how I put my hair up, I have bad fly aways. This stuff is great! So easy and it stays better and looks smoother than stiff hair spray." —Jill Stilfield Get it from Amazon for $6.99. Or! Try an edge control gel to help lay your edges and slick back baby hairs with just a few flicks of product. Major bonus points: It won't flake or leave behind any residue, which is *heart eyes* the definition of perfection in our book. BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they way want to! Check out, "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." Promising review: "Hands-down! The best edge control I have ever used and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and nongreasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" — it from Amazon for $4.95+ (available in four sizes and four scents).

Lovense's Gemini Sex Toy Offers a Fresh Sensation in the Bedroom—No AI Needed
I've never had particularly sensitive nipples—except for the first time I went to a clothing-optional beach and failed to use enough sunblock—so I was excited to give the Lovense Gemini a try. No, it has nothing to do with Google's AI chatbot. These are vibrating nipple clamps from Lovense, and I've had great experience with many of the company's sex toys. Many of my partners have had sensitive nipples, so I was curious if I could join the ranks with the Gemini. Usually sold for less than $80, they're an inexpensive way to spice up the bedroom. Great for Enthusiasts and Beginners Courtesy of Amazon After I fully charged the Gemini, which takes about an hour or so, I used it on myself. What I love is that I can clip the base of the clamps to my bra (there's also a cord you can put around your neck if you don't wear a bra), making them 100 percent hands-free. The Gemini is app-controlled (Android, iOS), so I can lie back and play with the slew of intensities and patterns—surprisingly fun even though I was solo. When I added a bullet vibrator to the mix, the vibrations all over made everything even more exciting in a low-key, kinky sort of way. I also appreciate that the clamps are adjustable, so if you love a tight squeeze, a barely there hold, or somewhere in between, you have options. Unlike some of the more intimate toys I've reviewed, like the Luxus Couples Vibrator or the Lelo Ora 3, I was able to get input from a handful of people with the Gemini. Especially people I know who really (like, really ) love nipple play. As much as I enjoyed the vibrations and found the sensation interesting, the Gemini made me realize that, ultimately, I prefer that my nipples get attention from a partner's tongue or with a slight graze of their teeth. Of the three nipple-play aficionados I used the Gemini with—one straight and two gay men—all of them became immediate fans of the toy. They liked the hands-free design and the simplicity of the Lovense Remote app. To paint a picture of this experiment, I had the app in hand, and three men sat on the couch across from me, waiting for their turn to try the Gemini. (It's the closest I'll probably ever get to an orgy.) Each man had a different preference in intensity and patterns, as well as the tightness of the clamps, so I was able to see just how much the Gemini can be the perfect fit for anyone who's into nipple play. Easy to Use The Gemini is well-built, too. Not only is it waterproof—for all those times you're craving a proper buzz on your nips while in the shower—but you also get a whopping two hours of run time when it's fully charged. The device is discreet, in case you're into public play where one partner enjoys the vibrations, while the other controls what they want you to feel.
