Derek Warburton Spills Super Bowl Style Secrets For Bad Bunny At Glitzy La Gurus Awards

Derek Warburton Lights Up LA with Gurus Awards Glam

Hollywood’s go-to style guru, Derek Warburton, is making waves again, trading his usual red carpet magic for hosting duties at his second annual Gurus Awards. Held last Sunday at the iconic Cicada Club in the heart of Downtown LA - a spot dripping with old-school charm - the night was a full-on Roaring Twenties extravaganza. Think flapper dresses, sharp tuxes, and a vibe that screamed Gatsby with a SoCal twist.

The event, presented by Warburton’s own Gurus Magazine, wasn’t just about the glitz - it was a heartfelt nod to philanthropy and inner beauty. Following his buzzed-about Pre-Oscars retreat, the 2025 Gurus Awards brought together a crowd of do-gooders and A-listers, all decked out in their finest for a night of celebration. Derek, 51, has come a long way from styling Hollywood’s elite to creating a platform that shines a light on those making a real difference.

From Real Housewives stars like Cynthia Bailey and Gretchen Rossi to Hilaria Baldwin, Taye Diggs, and Selling Sunset’s Jason Oppenheim, the guest list was a who’s who of Tinseltown. It was the kind of night where you could feel the LA energy - a mix of dreams, hustle, and a whole lotta sparkle.

A Beacon of Positivity in a Negative World

On the red carpet, Derek got real with The Mirror US about why he launched the Gurus Awards in the first place. It’s all about flipping the script in a world obsessed with Instagram drama and negativity. He’s on a mission to celebrate amazing people, killer brands, and philanthropists who deserve a shout-out.

“We’re living in a time where you scroll social media and it’s just shade after shade. I wanted the Gurus Awards to be a beacon of light, telling beautiful stories about incredible folks doing dope things right here in LA,”

Derek shared with a grin.

His own journey adds serious weight to the event’s message. “I was a homeless teen with nothing, and now I’m hosting my own awards show in the City of Angels. If I can do it, anyone can - you just gotta dream big and grind hard,” he reflected. That spirit of ‘anything is possible’ is what he hopes every guest feels walking through those Cicada Club doors.

From Humble Beginnings to Hollywood Heights

Derek’s story is straight-up inspiring, the kind of tale that could only happen in a place like LA where dreams get a chance to breathe. He’s not just about the glam - though he’s styled icons like Beyoncé, Jessica Alba, and Leah Remini over his decades-long career. This man’s heart is in uplifting others, reminding everyone that fame doesn’t always equal recognition for the good stuff you do.

“We’re all the same at the end of the day. I want to honor people for what’s in their heart, not just their highlight reel,” he explained. It’s a refreshing take in a town often caught up in superficial vibes, and his awards are becoming a must-attend for those who want to see Hollywood’s softer side.

He’s also no stranger to dropping wisdom on style, with guest spots on NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX dishing fashion tips. So, when he teases ideas for styling someone as bold as Bad Bunny, you know it’s gonna be fire.

Styling Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl Stage

Speaking of Bad Bunny, Derek couldn’t resist daydreaming about dressing the Latin superstar for the upcoming NFL Super Bowl Halftime Show. If he got the gig, he’d go all out with a wardrobe that screams multicultural flair - think a mash-up of looks as diverse as an LA street festival. “I’d give him a bunch of different vibes to play with,” Derek teased.

He’s all about letting Bad Bunny “live his best life” on that stage, and you can bet it’d be a performance dripping with SoCal swagger meets global influence. With Derek’s track record - styling everyone from Sean Paul to Shay Mitchell - we’re already hyped to see what he could cook up for one of music’s biggest nights.

From the Gurus Awards to Super Bowl dreams, Derek Warburton is proving he’s not just a stylist but a visionary, turning every event into a celebration of style, heart, and the endless possibilities of this West Coast wonderland we call home.
