A bomber works almost anywhere. Red carpet, late night TV, a press tour, even a wrestling entrance. This year has had some really good ones, from a heartfelt SNL outfit to a promo jacket that ended up more famous than the movie it was made for. Here’s a look at the celebrity bomber jackets people can’t stop saving right now.

Olivia Rodrigo Bomber Jacket
Olivia Rodrigo hosted and performed on SNL in the same night, which doesn’t happen often. For the occasion she wore a vintage Roots SNL bomber jacket. Cream color, black stripes on the trim, patchwork letters on the front.
She wore it with nothing else underneath, just the jacket, and let it be the whole outfit. It didn’t feel like a random choice either. It felt like she actually cared about the show’s history and wanted to show that.
The jacket itself has that oversized, slightly worn-in look that vintage pieces tend to have, which only made the whole thing feel more genuine.
Tommy Bradley Bomber Jacket
Love Island outfits have a hard job. The cast is on camera all day, in every kind of light, for weeks at a time. A simple jacket handles that easily. It looks good on the villa balcony and it looks good during a challenge too, which is honestly harder to pull off than it sounds.
Kristen Stewart Black Bomber Jacket
Kristen Stewart was out in NYC in a plain black bomber. Ribbed hem, ribbed cuffs, rest of the outfit in black too. Nothing flashy about it, and that’s really the whole point.
A black bomber like this one is just a closet basic at this point. Not really a trend anymore, just something people keep coming back to because it works with almost anything.
Team USA Leather Bomber
This jacket is all about structure. Strong shoulders, a fit that lets you actually move, and leather that makes it look a bit more polished than a normal nylon bomber. Still looks sporty though, which makes sense for something built around Team USA.
Marty Supreme Black Bomber Jacket
Timothée Chalamet’s press tour for Marty Supreme got weird in a good way, and the jacket was a big part of that. He gave copies to people like Tom Brady, Bill Nye, and Misty Copeland, and wore his own in blue, red, and pink throughout the tour.
The black version has that same retro track jacket shape, boxy fit, with contrast trim on the collar and cuffs.
Promo merch almost never blows up like this did. People were actually asking which color to buy, which tells you it went way past just being a movie tie-in. At some point the jacket became its own story, separate from the film it was supposed to promote.
Lionel Ritchie Suede Bomber Jacket
Lionel Richie wore this suede bomber for a daytime talk show appearance. Suede has a softer look than leather, more matte, and it comes across warm on camera. The whole outfit felt relaxed but still put together, which is exactly what a talk show couch calls for.
Chinese New Year Crafted Bomber
Holiday-themed jackets can go wrong fast, either too plain or too costume-y. This one gets the balance right. Rich color, real detail in the craftsmanship, but still something you’d wear again after the holiday’s over instead of shoving it in the back of a closet.
Marion Cotillard Olive Bomber
The Morning Show uses clothes to say a lot before anyone even talks, and this olive bomber does that job well. The color is deep, not bright, which gives Marion Cotillard’s character a serious, grounded feel that fits a newsroom.
It’s the kind of piece that quietly does its job on screen instead of pulling focus away from the scene.
Adam Farahan Blue Bomber Jacket
The Valley’s Persian Style spinoff leans on personal style to tell you who a character is. This blue bomber, somewhere between royal blue and cobalt, gives Adam Farahan an easy kind of confidence without taking over the rest of his outfit.
Drew McIntyre Bomber Jacket
WWE entrances are all about the show, and a bomber jacket gives a wrestler something dramatic to take off before stepping in the ring. This one has strong shoulders and enough presence to read clearly even from the back of the arena, which matters more in wrestling than in almost any other kind of performance.
Amber Ruffin Floral Bomber
Late night hosts usually stick to safe outfits, so a floral bomber really stands out. Amber Ruffin’s version is bold enough to notice at the desk, but not so loud that it distracts from the actual show.
More hosts should take chances like this. It makes the whole thing feel less interchangeable, and honestly, a lot of late night wardrobes could use a bit more personality.
Chris Brown Red Heart Black Bomber Jacket
One graphic, a red heart on black, and that’s it. No extra detail needed. It’s simple, high contrast, and instantly recognizable even from across a room. Sometimes the loudest statement comes from the smallest design choice, and this jacket is proof of that.
Sky Asakari Green Bomber Jacket
Another good one from The Valley’s Persian Style. This green sits closer to forest than emerald, which is a real change from the neutrals and jewel tones the show usually goes for. Green bombers have been trending in general as a break from black and olive, and this is a good example of why people are picking it up. It’s an easy color to build a whole outfit around too, since it pairs well with denim, khaki, or even black without clashing.
Luke Bryan Zip Bomber Jacket
American Idol judges sit on camera for hours at a time, so a zip-front bomber just makes sense. Polished enough for the panel, relaxed enough that Luke Bryan doesn’t look stiff by the end of a long taping. It’s a practical choice that still looks intentional, which is harder to pull off on live TV than people give credit for.
Hannah Wells Bomber Jacket
Off Campus built its whole look around a college feel: casual, layered, a little messy on purpose. Hannah Wells’s bomber fits right in, relaxed fit, nothing overly styled, the kind of thing you’d actually grab on your way out the door.
Allie Hayes Red Bomber Jacket
Red is a bold pick for a bomber, and Allie Hayes went all the way with it instead of picking something muted. The shade is warm, not orange-leaning, and it gives the jacket real presence on screen without needing anything else to back it up.
Keke Palmer Blue Bomber Jacket
The Burbs put Keke Palmer in a bright blue bomber with a clean, structured shape that photographs well against almost anything.
Keke Palmer rarely gets wardrobe wrong, and this is a good example why. She wears color with a kind of confidence that’s hard to copy, even when the piece itself is fairly simple.
Elle Fanning Bomber Jacket
Margo’s Got Money Troubles has a slightly chaotic energy to it, and Elle Fanning’s bomber jacket matches that. The fit stays loose instead of tailored, which gives the character room to feel messy and glamorous at the same time, which is really what the whole show is going for.
Timothee Chalamet Black Bomber Jacket
Besides the bright colors that went viral, Chalamet also wore a black version of the Marty Supreme jacket for a Q&A. Same retro shape, same trim, just quieter overall.
It proves the jacket works even without a loud color behind it. Not every viral piece holds up once you tone it down, but this one does, and that says something about the design itself rather than just the hype around it.
Gigi Zumbado Tiger Print Bomber Jacket
Tiger print is a big swing for outerwear, but it works well on a bomber’s structured shape. This one reads more editorial than costume, with just enough contrast to stand out without going too far.
Which Celebrity Bomber Jackets Are You Adding to Your Closet?
From SNL to WWE, from a courtside jacket to a viral press tour piece, these looks cover a lot of ground. That’s really the whole point of a good bomber. It works wherever it shows up, whether that’s a stadium, a talk show couch, or a wrestling ring. If this year says anything, bomber jackets aren’t going anywhere, and there’s a good chance next year brings even more of these moments and here is the list of the best celebrity leather jackets.
