Orlando Bloom and Oprah Winfrey showed up to support their pro surfer pal Laird Hamilton at the launch of Laird Apparel Thursday.

Winfrey posed between Bloom and Hamilton inside Ron Robinson in Santa Monica, Calif., where the launch was held.  Winfrey also struck a pose between Hamilton and his volleyball star wife Gabrielle Reece.

Prior to heading to the event – which was also attended by the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen, Rande Gerbe, Kenny Chesney and Mehcad Brooks – Oprah was alerted to having kale stuck between her teeth. The media mogul took to Twitter to thank the passerby for sparing her the embarrassment.

Hamilton, who saw Winfrey’s tweet, thanked her for stopping by the launch.

Hamilton, best known for his prowess on the surfboard, wanted to enter the fashion world to give men functional but fashionable clothing options.

“I wanted to create a line for the discerning man, which would withstand functional demands with a contemporary and multi-functional edge,” Hamilton said. “I wanted to provide my contemporaries with durable, stylish yet masculine clothing that feels unique to the activity he is exploring.  It is difficult to find clothing that provides the technical fabrics and tailored construction that is required to achieve this hybrid emphasized by function first.”
