If Detroit is the Motor City, then when it comes to fashion, our Best Dressed honorees are driving in the fast lane – with no turn signals and plenty of flair. From boardroom boldness to brunch-ready brilliance, this year’s list proves that style in the D isn’t just worn – it’s wielded. These fashion phenoms don’t follow trends; they bend them into origami swans and then wear them to diner. Here is one of the 11 metro Detroiters on Hour Detroit’s Best Dressed list, class of 2025, who were all shot on location at Detroit Foundation Hotel.

Getting to know the style of Ashley Robin Shammami

Fashion style: Fun and trendy yet always polished, minimal, and timeless. I would say it’s a mix between high-end glamour and casual chic.

The one piece in my closet I can’t live without: A tailored black blazer.

If my wardrobe had a theme song, it would be … “Kiss of Life” by Sade. The whole vibe of my wardrobe could really be any Sade track.

Favorite places to shop locally: I love to shop at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Aritzia.

Favorite designers/brands: At the moment, they are Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Khaite, The Row, and Bottega Veneta.

Style icon: It’s a tie between Morgan Stewart and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Both of these ladies have influenced my style and many purchases.

A look that always gets compliments: Something monochromatic, with an amazing bag, a really great pair of heels, all pulled together with some classic sunglasses.

Fashion advice: Follow your own style. There’s nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from others, but never follow a trend or make a purchase simply because everyone else is. Find a style or a look that works for you and channel it.
