Being flashy and unapologetic has always been Dwyane Wade‘s mantra. His wife Gabrielle Union matches him in that aspect. Recently the couple was seen at the Red-Carpet event at the Oscars. Though Wade didn’t win an award for his debut short film, he didn’t return empty-handed.

The Hollywood Reporter and Launchmetrics formed a partnership to conduct power rankings.
