Happy Friday!
Today we have a Fashion Bomber. Behold, Grant Kee from Memphis, Tennessee:
He says, “My style is all about being “Clean” ,”Well Groomed”, and “Polished”.”
” I am 26 years of age.”
” I feel as if my generation has lost the concept of what a true gentleman is supposed to look like.”
” The way I carry my style, is to treasure the art of sophistication and just being a modest well groomed gentleman with a polish tailored look.”
” I hope my style will showcase the art of sophistication in being a well groomed gentleman in todays time. My style is simple but yet striking. A style that the everyday gentleman can put together and still be groomed and polished.”
Nice! No complaints here. You’re a Bomber in my book!

We always look forward to every amfAR Gala in each city around the world—glamour for a great cause? How could we not be with it? Our favorite models, rappers, actors, and all-around style stars were on-hand for the organization’s latest event in Cannes.
Let’s get into the gala’s looks!
Nicki Minaj flaunted her curves in a deep-V décolleté, black lace patchwork Roberto Cavalli Couture gown with ruffle detailing, floral embroidery, and black crystal and bead embellishment. Way to bring the drama Nicki!
Bella Hadid almost bared it all in an embellished sheer Ralph & Russo Couture gown, with a thigh-high slit for good measure. Flawless.
Maria Borges was a vision in a simple white Carolina Herrera design. She is absolutely one of the best dressed at Cannes this year!
A$AP Rocky left the tie at home, but didn’t skimp at all on tailoring.
Jasmine Tookes was outfitted in a stellar, embellished black look for the evening. Beautiful, am I right?
Will Smith kept it classic in black and white. So nice to see him at Cannes!
Winnie Harlow followed Bella’s lead, going for a sheer strapless design.
David Beckham was incredibly dapper in a timeless tux. So handsome!
Cindy Bruna accented her black, off-the-shoulder slit Ulyana Sergeenko gown with an emerald bejeweled necklace. Gorgeous, no?
Shanina Shaik shimmered and sparkled in a silver, micro-sequin slit gown. Hot!
Diane Kruger layered an embellished, feather-hem asymmetric Alexander McQueen cutout gown over wide-leg trousers for the brand. I live for her style!
Joan Smalls beamed in a navy strapless Elie Saab dress with a flash of her mile-long legs.
Elsa Hosk was pretty in pink, slipping on a lace, bustier-inspired gown in the rosy hue that brought the boudoir to real-life.
I wanted a bit more from Karolina Kurkova in the hair department, but her strapless pastel Marchesa gown with feather embellishment was stunning.
Praya Lundberg accented her already statement-making, sheer-inset embellished slit gown with gold head-turning sandals. I’ve loved her Cannes style thus far!
I was pleasantly surprised to see Queen Mother of the Ballad and All Things Psychic Dionne Warwick in a full-skirted watercolor gown and matching shawl. In a word: icon.
I feel like it has been too long since I’ve last seen Carine Roitfeld out and about! Naturally, her gown would have pockets. I loved its leather, waist-cinching belt. She’s always so chic!
Another sparkling, sheer gown was on the style agenda for Izabel Goulart this week. So pretty.
Rita Ora was whimsical in a pink and silver Chanel embellished dress. Very cute and unexpected!
Who had your favorite look at the gala? Stay tuned as we update with all of the night’s looks!
A few weeks ago, Fashion Bomb Daily was granted a behind the scenes look at Kevin Hart’s new fashion film, styled by Ashley North and directed by Mo McCrae. Fashion Bomb Daily EIC Claire Sulmers chats with Ashley North about how she broke into fashion, talks with Mo McCrae about the creative direction, and asks Kevin Hart about the keys to his success.
Happy Thursday!
The blog is booming! As such, we are working with more and more luxury brands. Our latest fete took us downtown to Dsquared2’s Soho store for a fun shopping event. <
Guests sipped on Belaire Champagne and bunched on macarons as they tried on the brand’s delectable footwear.
I LOVE these. AND they’re comfortable! Plan to see these a lot in upcoming weeks.
For those Bombers and Bombshells who came: thank you! And for those who didn’t, the VIP discount is still in effect. Stop by 166 Spring Street or call 212-966-3429 if you see anything you like.
Kourtney Kardashian lit up the night at Cannes, wearing a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier dress! But while we reported on her dress, most of you were more interested in her Malone Souliers Savannah Sandals.
The lace ups feature a brown and orange snakeskin print.
Sadly, Kourtney’s sandals are sold out, but you can get the same sandal with a different print here:
The big fashion houses are all taking their collections abroad for their mid-season collections. Louis Vuitton went to Kyoto, Dior switched continents and hopped to L.A., and Valentino chose the Big Apple as its setting for Resort 2018 this season. Pier Paolo Piccioli was inspired by Netflix’s The Get Down—which was unfortunately just cancelled—but its Uptown, hip hop references still shined through. And while the iconic Italian fashion house has steeped itself in some hot water for the use of non-white models sporting cornrows, we’re happy to report there was definitely more diversity on the runway this time around.
That influence could be felt in sporty, zip front dresses, flirty spins on the classic track suit, and drawstring trousers that totally uplifted timeless sweats.
Some athletically-leaning ensembles felt like new and fun takes on Valentino’s classics, while others missed the mark. Do we really need any more takes on athleisure at this point? We’ll answer with a firm, “No”, but we’re all for a house trying something new.
Outerwear was poignant and spoke to real-time wear when this collection drops in October. An oversized leather jacket was paired with a cutout LBD and sneakers for a touch of downtown cool and a colorful, calf-grazing embroidered coat gave a neutral getup a complete upgrade.
Prints were vibrant and entertaining, including a lipstick motif print by iconic designer Zandra Rhodes.
The complements to the looks were as standout and gorgeous as the ensembles themselves—statement-making single earrings, winged liner, layered necklaces, and shoulder bags made the case for solely investing in accessories for the season.
And few things are as big at Valentino as footwear right now. And though most looks were anchored with resort-ready flip-flops, we loved the way socks were paired with sandals for that classic, coquettish flair.
It’s nearly impossible to pick our favorite pieces from any Valentino assortment because we essentially want it all, but the most head-turning ‘fits definitely captured our eyes and hearts. A wearable blue bomber could get major play in our wardrobes right now and a pair of utilitarian cargo shorts are a piece we wish we had in our closet immediately for Memorial Day weekend.
And with Cannes going on right now, is it even possible to think of anything else besides gowns? The house presented some beautiful options that its legion of fans including Fan Bingbing, Jennifer Lopez, Cate Blanchett, and Olivia Palermo will be certain to fawn over.
Today we have a breathe of air with Tai from D.C.!
She writes, “Would love love love to be a Fashion bombshell of the day!”
” I’m a fashion and life style blogger from DMV area (Potomac, MD).”
“Had the wonderful opportunity to meet Claire Sulmers at the reach your greatness event in Washington, DC. and she was wonderful to hook me up with the contacts and her wonderful book! ?”

Hi Tai!! Thanks for your submission. You are bomb with a winning personality to match. You’re definitely a Bombshell!

Life has been on an upward tick for Jeremy Meeks aka Prison Bae. After his gorgeous mugshot gave the fashion world fever, he has signed with White Cross Management and walked the runway for Philipp Plein.
Now it seems the blue eyed Fashion Bomber has another project up his sleeve. Last night, he met with Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing and Fashion Director Ugo Mozie for a Secret Project.
Though it’s unclear what the trio is working on, let’s hope to see Mr. Bae in an upcoming Balmain campaign (or perhaps rocking the Balmain men’s runway). Yes!

The stars kept the parties going in Cannes, heading over to the L’Oreal Gala 20th Birthday in embellishment, mini lengths, sheer frocks, and sky-high heels.
Let’s get into the fête’s getups!
Maria Borges flaunted her mile-long legs in an embellished, fringe Balmain LWD. She’s a stunner!
Eva Longoria sizzled in a sheer-inset gown from the iconic French fashion house.
Neelam Gill slipped on a high-neck, long-sleeve mini dress with mesh accents and stud embellishment. Hot!
Cindy Bruna injected a taste of the exotic in a croc and python design, that also boasted fringe and sheer zebra-embossed panels.
Olivier Rousteing was dapper in his signature black silky suit for the evening. He’s so handsome.
Jasmine Tookes was gilded in a curve-hugging gown that outlined her curves like liquid metal. Another flawless look from the beauty at Cannes!
Winnie Harlow was a vision in a white strapless bustier crop top and high-waist, slit front skirt.
I’ve been living for Tina Kunakey’s ‘fro this festival! It spoke volumes—pun intended—alongside her lace-up LWD and pearl-accented sandals.
Clearly white dresses were the night’s big trend, with Ming Xi looking ethereal in a wispy confection. Gorgeous, no?
It was all about the details for Chinese actress Guan Xiaotong who combined stars and arrows in her artful ensemble. Hot!
Her Spring 2017 green and yellow silk and cotton bomber features appliqué detailing, a stand up collar, front-zip fastening, two front pockets, and long sleeves.
Her black leather loafers boast webbed bow accents, a pointed-toe silhouette, functional 3/4″ stacked heels, and pale gold-tone micro-pyramid stud embellishment.
Her black trousers feature a high-waist, front slits, a zipper and hook front closure, and front slant pockets.
She can do no wrong!
If you’re up for the splurge, get Olivia’s jacket here, pants here, and shoes here.
