The men’s fashion and style magazine celebrated
nearly 30 names from across the worlds of entertainment, culture
and sport for its 25th GQ Men of the Year event, which this year
swapped its past awards categories for a format of toasting
honourees at a special dinner.
"This is the 25th GQ Men of the Year awards at British GQ. It's
my first. And what better time to just be a little bit radical,
try something new, have a bit of fun. We've worked with so many
incredible, talented people this year and we wanted to get all
of them in a room," the event's organiser, GQ's deputy global
editorial director Adam Baidawi, told Reuters.
Other honourees include actor Ben Whishaw, documentary filmmaker
Louis Theroux, Olympic distance-running champion Mo Farah and
"House of the Dragon" star Emma D'Arcy.
"I'm looking forward to getting selfies with special people. I'm
looking behind me and going, 'Yeah, there's so and so', Farah
said as he arrived on the red carpet ahead of the dinner.
"Last couple of years it's been hard for all of us due to COVID
and it's nice to see events happening, people coming together
and celebrating together."
