The 32-year old singer whose album has already reached #1 on many charts across the UK, signed autographs outside of the Rockefeller plaza, while basking in her stardom.
Partaking in the sheer dress trend, with the illusion of her barring her nipples, Miley’s ensemble was bold, daring and risqué. Apart of the designer’s “BDSM Ballet” collection, this dress was intended to evoke emotions. We can’t help but imagine how during the Victorian era how Miley’s look would have frowned upon, but it’s a new day, and she’s epitomizing the saying that “less is more.”
It’s important to note that everyone can’t pull this dress off like Miley Cyrus. It’s take’s confidence, edge, and a sprinkle of bad a**, all of which Miley has. Not to mention her fit body and arm tattoos which contributes to the overall silhouette, and vision of the gown.
We thought Miley Cyrus looked smoking haute, and if this is any indication of what’s to come during the rest of her press tour, then we’re so here for it!
“Culture’s Biggest Night” did not disappoint and the 25th annual BET Awardsfar exceeded our expectations. From the extraordinary fashion on the red carpet, to the vibrancy that came through on stage, and the inspiring speeches that followed, there were several moments that pushed the culture forward.
Kevin Hart hosted the extravaganza with his theatrics in full swing, while Jamie Foxx, Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg and Kirk Franklin were each recognized with the Ultimate Icon award.“The Icon Award is the most important award because it comes from us,” shared Foxx.
In a society that doesn’t always amplify black voices, the BET awards championed people of color last night on a broader scale. Our Fashion Bomb daily CEOClaire Sulmers, who know’s a thing or two about creating events “for US, by US,” was on the scene interviewing celebs on the carpet.
For the special evening, she sought out Celebrity stylist, Swanky Jerrywho she collaborated with during the MET Gala, to make a sartorial entrance. Showcasing architectural realness, Sulmers embodied regality in a nudeEmaginegown by BuKola that was progressive with dramatic swirls.
In addition to Claire, Swanky Jerry and the queen of the dancehall @spiceofficial also opted for Emagine looks. The duo mirrored African royalty in cobalt blue ensembles by BuKola that could have easily fit the bill for the costumes in the latest Coming to America. They say repetition is reputation, and Swanky Jerry is undoubtedly leaving his mark in the States.
When Ciara touched on the carpet, all eyes were on the “Ecstasy” singer who arrived in an all black Cong Tri look that was vastly different than a traditional couture gown. From her A fitted cap, to her leather button up top, and high low fringe skirt, her outfit definitely has StylistMarni Senofonte finger prints all over it.
Tisha Campbell is a prime example of “it get’s better later,” and she delivered wow-factor at the BET awards in a rich maroon leather dress by Anthony Lattimore. Stylist J.Bolin is to thanks for this cutting edge ensemble, and her hair matching with her dress was exquisite.
Representing for the Fashion Bomb men was Mario, who was the perfect eye candy in a green double breasted satin wrap top by House of Gray that he paired with black printed trousers. He accessorized with a diamond necklace, and embellished pendents, and his black patent leather loafers added sophistication to such a dapper look.
Ahead, see more celebrities who attended the 2025 BET Awards below!
Today is the 25th Anniversary of the “BET Awards“ , and “Culture’s Biggest Night” is bound to be star-studded with the who’s WHO of Hollywood.
The annual event which honors people of color in music, film and television, will be hosted by Kevin Hart, and include performances by Teyana Taylor, Glorilla, and Lil Wayne.
Over the weekend, The BET Experience 2025 presented by Shea Moisturekicked off with a variety of activations including industry talks, an open casting call, and our very own Fashion Bomb daily red carpet. (Yes, we’re partaking in the TikTok treadmill runway trend!)
From Real Housewives of Atlanta OG and newbie, NeNe and Kelli Ferrell, to R&B legends Mya and Amerie, check out who ripped the runway best below.
They often say to be careful of a lady in a red dress. NeNe Leakes looked dangerously haute in red Balenciaga pants set, with Christian Louboutin sandals, and we were so here for it. From her platinum blonde hair to her incredible glam, she exuded confidence and reminded us that she’s still THAT GIRL! Bravo…you know what time it is.
We should just call her the woman version of Benjamin Button, because if we didn’t know any better we would say the Mya is aging backwards. The “It’s All About Me” singer looked stylishly retro in a white and green House of Gray belted trench coat that had matching pants. She kept things mod with white stilettos from Shoe Dazzle, and Mya’s ensemble definitely gave us 1960’s vibes.
Amerie can do no wrong, and her latest Tiny Desk performance on YouTube, made us fall in love with her music all over again. For the BET Experience 2025, she kept things simple and refined, in a grey tank top that she paired with cutout Rag & Bone blue jeans, and a black Dolce & Gabbana belt. She sashayed on the carpet in her black Dior boots while serving fierce poses for the camera.
She may be tiny, but her style extends far beyond her stature. Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Kelli Ferrell slayed on the Fashion Bomb daily red carpet in a snakeskin Lapointe dress that gave ultra sex appeal. She accessorized with her signature oversized bangles, and we loved her gold Esor Marie open-toe heels. We’re sure her stylist Paris Chea is the mastermind behind this look.
She’s not new to this, but true to this and Da Brat looked sporty chic in a black Pure Atlanta hoodie, with grey sweatpants. Instead of strutting, she kept things gangsta, with her swagger on full display. All we can say is from her hair, to her outfit, and persona, everything was on brand when it came to Da Brat.
Check out more celebrities who stopped by to walk to Fashion Bomb daily carpet at the BET Experience 2025.
The count down has begun, and this Friday June 6th, Tyler Perry’s latest film Straw is expected to debut on Netflix with an extraordinary cast.
There was a special screening on Tuesday at the Paris Theater in Manhattan, and the cast arrived with style & grace. Perry, who not only wrote and produced the film but also directed and shot it at his studio in Atlanta, looked dapper in a black tweed suit designed by Amiri. He layered his suit over a crisp white shirt that added sophistication, and his black boots were complimentary to his wide leg trousers.
From the talented Taraji P. Henson, to the multifaceted Teyana Taylor, and charismatic Sherri Sheppard, the film is bound to leave us glued to our screens. Henson, plays a single mother named “Janiyah” who encounters a series of unfortunate circumstances while caring for her ill daughter.
Showing us her acting chops in iconic movies likeBaby Boy, and The Color Purple, Henson will undoubtedly deliver a thought-provoking performance. She stunned on the carpet in a brown asymmetrical Stephanie Rolland gown that was strikingly beautiful.
In addition to Henson, Teyana Taylor showed up to the premiere in a ground-breaking black velvet dress by Schiaparelli. As one of the most avant-garde fashion houses in Paris, Schiaparelli is known for their bold, daring and theatrical details. Taylor embodied modernity with her gold accessories, including oversized earrings, a sculptural bangle and statement belt that was adorned with gold charms.
On our Instagram page, @jdot7ven shared, “She’s overdue for a fashion icon award,” while @quinita1908 commented, “Baby girl can wear a newspaper and it will look fly!“
Looking light and refreshed for the Summer season in a white rhinestone embellished Retrofete suit was none other than Sherrie Shepherd who illuminated on the carpet. The television host radiated and exuded elegance in her white monochromatic ensemble, and perhaps we’ve never seen Sherri look better.
With such a fashionable and multitalented all-star cast, we can’t wait to tune in tomorrow on Netflix to watch Tyler Perry’s latest film Straw.
The inaugural Black Women in Music Dinner, hosted by the Connie Orlando Foundation, was a stunning celebration of the Black women shaping the music industry—and Fashion Bomb Daily was truly honored to be in the building!
Held ahead of the June 9th BET Awards, the intimate dinner served as a kickoff to BET festivities, uniting trailblazers from across the industry to honor those making an impact in music and community empowerment. The evening also doubled as a fundraiser supporting breast cancer awareness and research, blending purpose with power.
The brilliant and illustrious host of the night, Connie Orlando, stunned in a Givenchy Large-Sequin Short-Sleeve Cocktail Dress, effortlessly setting the tone for an evening filled with elegance and intention.
The Connie Orlando Foundation has a mission to empower underserved communities through education, mentorship, and health advocacy, brought depth and purpose to the night’s festivities.
Niecy Nash lit up the room with her signature charm, presenting the Guardian of Vision Award to the incomparable June Ambrose while dazzling in a gold Andrew Gn gown. Few are more deserving of the honor than Ambrose, whose visionary work has shaped the fashion and music industries for decades. The style icon accepted her award in a striking all-black Bibhu Mohapatra ensemble—bold, refined, and unmistakably her.
Ciara made a radiant entrance alongside her daughter Sienna, both twinning in sleek black suits by Bishme Cromartie. Meanwhile, Lori Harvey exuded effortless sophistication in a textured white Alexander McQueen maxi dress that turned heads on the carpet.
Muni Long’s presence was as radiant as her voice and she showed out in a striped bodycon mini dress by Hanifa. Her clear heels and updo hairstyle were the perfect components to tie her look together.
Our founder Claire Sulmers was in the building wearing a strapless, silver-toned Christian Siriano Spring 2025 gown featuring a sculpted bodice and sheer, embroidered overlay that flowed with every step. She completed the elegant look with metallic silver ankle-strap heels and a mirrored clutch, delivering a bold yet refined statement perfect for the evening’s celebration.
The Black Women in Music Dinner was more than a moment—it was a movement. The evening left attendees inspired, grateful, and proud to witness the power of Black women coming together to celebrate, honor, and uplift one another.
“Miss Wednesday Adams” is coming out, and she want’s the world to know!
On the brink of becoming one of Hollywood’s leading Actresses, Jenna Ortega attended the Netflix Tudum event at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles over the weekend, and was a standout sensation.
Donning a black and gray MarkGongSpring/Summer ’25 ombre trench coat dress that was belted at the waisted, Ortega embodied sophistication, and elegance. From the fit and construction, down to the impeccable craftsmanship, Jenna pushed the envelope and gave main character energy.
Her dramatic kiss curl and retro white heels felt vintage, and we adored her black shades and ombre headscarf that evoked old Hollywood glam. Not to mention her layered necklaces and statement rings that tied her ensemble together.
Fashion Stylist Enrique Melendez is the mastermind behind this cutting edge outfit and in a video posted to our Fashion Bomb Daily Instagram page, fans couldn’t get enough of how bomb Jenna looked.
@bosslauralee commented, “Even she knows she ate this up. Best outfit I’ve seen on anyone since the year started. From head to toe🔥🔥🔥🔥.” @queen_saline also shared, “I’m screaming SHE BODIED THAT!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾😍😍😍😍.”
They often say, “the proof is in the pudding” and based on the feedback from our Fashion bombers and bombshells, Jenna Ortega’s look ATE, so all we can say is bon appétit.
You ask, we answer! @synclairemichellehair says, “I would like to know details on Latto’s jumpsuit for roots picnic?!”
The 18th annual Roots Picnic took place over the weekend at the Mann Center in Philadelphia, with headliners like Maxwell, and Lenny Kravitz taking the stage, and a diverse lineup of artists including Latto, GloRilla and Jeezy setting the crowd ablaze.
The ‘Big Energy’ rapper was all smiles and in her element while performing in a black NiiHai halter style jumpsuit that had a bodice cutout and silhouette of a cross. Her jumpsuit which retails for $76, was form-fitting showcasing her curvaceous body and sickening abs.
Keeping her accessories to a minimum, her bulls head Jose Cortes belt hung at the hips, and her gold rings were complimentary to her french manicure. When it came down to Latto’s glam, she was a total stunner.
With blonde curls, and baby hair that shaped her face, Latto radiated natural beauty. Her make-up was subtle with feathery lashes and a nude lip that glistened next to her diamond hoop earrings.
We thought this look was on brand for Latto, who enjoys embracing her femininity and stepping out in some of the most seductive looks. We’re also sure 21 Savage is probably somewhere rubbing his hands together like Stevie J. (Wink, Wink)
Hello June! We made it through another month of 2025, and boy was May filled with a series of memorable highlights. From theMET Galaand AMA’s, to some of the chicest looks we’ve seen all year, May was undoubtedly fashion-forward.
We’ve curated a list of our TOP 5 best-dressed celebs, based on views and impressions, and let’s just say, the competition was fierce. From Janelle Monae and our Fashion Bomb CEO, Claire Sulmers devouring the ‘Dandyism” theme at the MET Gala, to Rihanna redefining traditional maternity wear in South Eastern France, let’s take a look at who made the CUT.
Janelle Monae in Thom Browne- 1 Million + Views
Hands down, Janelle Monae outfit was absolute perfection at this year’s MET Gala, and she came in at #1 in a black, red and white custom Thom Browne ensemble. Her striped suit was co-designed with Oscar-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell, and had layers of greatness. She unraveled from a silk overcoat, and showcased a bi-color sports coat and skirt set that had pinstripes down her right side. Janelle’s look was epic, and her Magritte-style bowler hat included a timepiece affixed to one eye that was such a fashion moment.
Melody Hobson in Chanel with George Lucas -900K + Views
Business tycoon Mellody Hobson was a class act on the red carpet at the MET Gala alongside her husband George Lucas. She opted for a grey Chanel suit that was impeccably tailored, and adorned with bejeweled chains and broaches. Mellody showed up with her sartorial elegance on full display, and she was a flawless representation of black dandyism.
Rihanna in Brandon Maxwell With A$AP Rocky in Calvin Klein-900K + Views
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky spent the first half of the month in New York, and the second half in France, where they celebrated A$AP Rocky’s latest film “Highest 2 Lowest,” at the Cannes Film festival. On one of their evening outings, they were captured on their way to dinner with Rihanna donning a black Brandon Maxwell cutout dress, and ASAP Rocky in a brown Calvin Klein trench jacket. One thing for certain is that they both continue to live up to their “Fashion Killa“ titles, and we adore seeing Rihanna embrace her baby bump in the most unapologetic way.
Claire Sulmers in Deji & Kola and Swanky Jerry-700k +Views
With the slogan, “No Swanky, No Styling,” it was only right for our Fashion Bomb CEO Claire Sulmers to choose Swanky Jerry to pull off the dandyism theme, and he didn’t disappoint. If anyone ATE at this year’s MET Gala, it was undeniably Sulmers who was a sight to behold in a red embellished monochromatic suit by Deji & Kola. For the special occasion, she transitioned back to her signature platinum pixie hair cut as an ode to the black dandy, and Claire definitely brought the pressure.
Jodie Turner Smith in Burberry -700K + Views
If anyone understood the assignment at this years MET Gala, it was Jodie Turner Smith who’s ensemble was spot on. The British actress and model arrived in a maroon Burberry suit and leather trench that gave Willy Wonka tease. Burberry Creative director Daniel Lee (pictured above) collaborated with celebrity stylist Law Roach to pull off this wonderful look, and we couldn’t get enough of how legendary Jodie looked. She gets 10’s across the board!
It was a glamorous evening to remember as my friend Tina Odjaghian and I stepped out for an exclusive Dolce & Gabbana shopping event. From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in for a stylish soirée filled with luxury, laughter, and unforgettable fashion moments.
Tina lit up the evening in a citrus-print Dolce & Gabbana mini dress, paired with jeweled sandals and a vibrant green handbag that added the perfect pop of color. I went for classic Hollywood glam in a black and white polka dot gown, complete with sheer opera gloves, a thigh-high slit, and a Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily mini bag.
We headed into the boutique, where champagne flowed and dazzling designs awaited. Inside, we mingled with fellow fashion lovers and caught up with the radiant host of the night, Heidi, who shimmered in a gold sequin gown.
The night was full of sparkle, style, and sisterhood—a true celebration of fashion and friendship.
Thank you to Dolce & Gabbana and to our gracious host Heidi for the warm hospitality and for hosting such an exquisite evening.
Launching a clothing line is a total thrill—your designs, your vision, coming to life! But turning sketches and fabric into actual garments? That’s where the actual work kicks in.
You need more than mad design skills; you need a cut and sew partner who’s got your back, stitching your ideas into reality with precision. Not every manufacturer’s a match, though—choose wrong, and you’re stuck with delays or shoddy quality.
Before you start Googling factories, take a breather and map out what you need. Are you whipping up simple tees or intricate outerwear? Need help with pattern-making, or just someone to sew it all together? These details are your North Star.
Some manufacturers crank out massive orders; others vibe with smaller batches. Jot down your project specs—fabrics, quantities, deadlines, budget—so you’re ready to ask pointed questions. Knowing your needs upfront keeps you from wasting time on partners who don’t fit.
Check Their Experience
Experience isn’t just a buzzword—it’s everything in cut and sew. A seasoned manufacturer’s been around the block, tackling all kinds of fabrics and styles. They’ve mastered tricky cuts and finicky designs without breaking a sweat.
Ask for samples of their work. Check out their portfolio—what do they make most? Streetwear pros might not nail technical activewear, and vice versa. Make sure their expertise lines up with your brand’s niche, so you’re not their guinea pig for something new.
Look Into Communication
Ever sent an email and then just sat there waiting for days to hear back? That’s a dealbreaker in manufacturing. You’ll need quick back-and-forth to tweak designs, solve hiccups, or confirm details. A partner who’s slow to respond now will only stress you out later.
Test the waters before signing—shoot them a message or call. Are they clear and prompt? Do they ask smart questions about your project? Good communication feels like a partnership, not a chore, and it’ll save you countless headaches down the line.
Ask About Turnaround Time
Fashion’s all about timing—miss a drop, and your sales take a hit. A reliable cut and sew partner knows how to hit deadlines without skimping on quality. Ask upfront: How long does production take? What happens if there’s a delay? Can they handle peak seasons or crunch times?
Make sure their schedule aligns with yours. If you’re aiming for a holiday launch, you need a team that can deliver on time, every time. Clarity here prevents last-minute scrambles and keeps your customers happy.
Don’t Skip the Quality Check
Your brand lives or dies by the details—a loose seam or wonky fit can tank your rep. Quality control’s got to be airtight. Ask how they inspect pieces: Is it humans, machines, or both? How often do they catch errors before shipping?
Better yet, request a test run—a small batch to check before going all-in. It’s your chance to spot issues like uneven stitching or sizing snafus early. Skipping this step is like gambling with your brand’s cred, and fixing mistakes later is a budget-buster.
Know What’s Included
Not all manufacturers are one-stop shops. Some just cut and sew; others might source fabrics, slap on labels, or even handle shipping. Don’t assume—ask exactly what’s included in their services.
Extra offerings might bump up the price, but they can be worth it if they free you up to focus on design or marketing. Just get every detail in writing—fabrics, tags, packaging, timelines. A clear contract keeps everyone on the same page and avoids nasty surprises.
This one’s hard to pin down, but it’s real: go with your gut. When you chat with a manufacturer, do they seem legit? Are they pumped about your project, or just going through the motions? Do they treat your brand like it matters?
You’re in for a close partnership, so any weird vibes now could spell trouble later. Red flags—like vague answers or pushy sales tactics—are your cue to keep looking. Pick a team that feels like a true ally, one who’s as excited about your vision as you are.
Final Thoughts
Finding the right cut and sew manufacturers isn’t a quick checkbox—it’s an investment in your brand’s future. The perfect partner brings your designs to life with killer quality, hits your deadlines, and makes the process feel like a breeze. That’s the kind of support that turns first-time buyers into loyal fans.
So take your time, do the legwork, and ask the tough questions. Dig into their experience, test their communication, and never settle for less than stellar. With the right cut and sew team in your corner, your clothing line’s ready to launch strong, grow fast, and look darn good doing it.
