Sam Asghari Walks the Runway at the Blue Jacket Fashion Show Los Angeles 10th Anniversary
Sam Asghari stepped into the spotlight once again, but this time the Iranian-American actor and model was not appearing on a movie set, television program, or traditional entertainment red carpet. On September 29, 2026, Asghari walked the runway at the Blue Jacket Fashion Show Los Angeles 10th Anniversary, joining celebrities, entertainers, athletes, designers, medical professionals, and advocates at W Hollywood in Hollywood, California.
The event combined fashion, celebrity culture, men’s health awareness, and prostate cancer advocacy, turning an evening of entertainment into a platform for an important public-health message. The 2026 Los Angeles celebration brought together recognizable figures from Hollywood and beyond, with the runway serving as a highly visible stage for conversations about prostate cancer, early detection, health equity, and the importance of men taking their health seriously.
Asghari’s appearance attracted particular attention because of his profile as an Iranian-American model and actor and because of the visual nature of the Blue Jacket Fashion Show itself. Photographs from the event showed him walking the runway in a striking fashion presentation, including a shirtless look beneath a jacket. Reuters Connect identified Asghari as a participant in the September 29, 2026 Blue Jacket Fashion Show runway in Los Angeles, while entertainment coverage also highlighted his appearance as part of the event’s 10th-anniversary celebration.
But the event was about considerably more than celebrity fashion.
The Blue Jacket Fashion Show was founded by designer Frederick Anderson and Laura Miller in 2016 as a way to use fashion and popular culture to encourage conversations about men’s health and prostate cancer. Over the years, the initiative has brought together celebrities, designers, athletes, physicians, advocates, and media personalities to increase visibility around a disease that can be difficult to discuss openly.
The Los Angeles event therefore represented a decade of using fashion as a vehicle for health awareness.
For Asghari, the runway appearance offered an opportunity to participate in a cause that connects his entertainment and fitness-oriented public image with a broader message about men’s health. For the Blue Jacket Fashion Show, his presence helped demonstrate one of the central ideas behind the initiative: that conversations about serious health issues can reach audiences through culture, fashion, entertainment, and recognizable public figures.
