Kaavia James Union Wade’s latest photoshoot is turning heads for all sorts of reasons. The 5-year-old daughter of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade shared a stunning carousel on Instagram (Well…her parents were probably the ones to actually post it), and our jaws hit the floor.

The little girl — who is affectionately known as Shady Baby (have you seen her iconic facial expression?) — looked absolutely adorable all glammed up in a sparkly white ensemble with pink feather trim. “Always ready for my close up,” the caption said.

Not only did she look so pretty in her shimmery ‘fit, but she looked so grown up, so fierce, and so much like her dad.

“Omg you have you dad whole face,” one fan commented, “and mom model ways 😍😍😍”

Because yes! She has the NBA Hall of Famer’s big eyes, round cheeks, and angular jawline, and she knows how to pose like her actress mom and her big sister Zaya Wade who walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week last year. (NBD.)

Fans adored the new batch of photos, saying the little girl gets “more beautiful by the day.”

“I just love the shady baby she is so beautiful growing up so fast got the best role models in the world❤️❤️❤️”

“Babygirl stays ready for a photo op!”

“Cuteness overload💖”

Kaavia might be her dad’s twin, but that doesn’t stop her from twinning with her mom. In January, Union shared a photo of Kaavia recreating her prom look which included a black gown with ruffly white off-the-shoulder sleeves, a string of pearls, dangly pearl earrings, and black gloves. (Very ’80s!)

“[She] definitely wore it better,” Union wrote under the side-by-side photo.
