The GQ Men of the Year Awards returned for its 22nd year, drawing a host of A-list celebrities to the Tate Modern in London. Among the attendees were Michael Sheen, Taron Egerton, Stormzy, Andrew Scott, and David Beckham, all dressed in sharp tuxedos and sleek suits.
David Beckham received the Editor's Award for his contributions to fashion, football, and philanthropy, and was joined by his family for the celebration. Previous GQ cover stars include Prince Charles, Prince Harry, and Prince William, with Prince Charles having attended the awards last year.
Richard Madden, known for his role in Game of Thrones, wore a black and navy suit by Hugo Boss. Madden is set to appear in the upcoming Marvel film Eternals alongside his former co-star Kit Harrington. Kate Middleton's brother, James Middleton, brought his dog as his date, dressed in a blackwatch ensemble. He previously told Insider, 'I sometimes find it easier to talk to dogs than humans.'
Female attendees also showcased their style, with Nicole Kidman wearing a detailed Ralph & Russo gown, Elle Fanning in a strapless sheer black floral gown, and Rita Ora in a glamorous black sheer ruffle ensemble with bleach blonde beach waves. Maya Jama, recently separated from Stormzy, wore a sheer silver and nude turtleneck gown, while Stormzy was photographed separately.
GQ Editor-in-Chief Dylan Jones shared his thoughts on past memorable guests, including Elton John, Prince Charles, and David Bowie, but noted he avoids getting starstruck. 'I think if you are starstruck, or if you’re a fanboy or fangirl, then that’s kind of embarrassing,' Jones said. The awards were held in association with HUGO BOSS.
