Tyler James Williams
There’s something to be said about how Tyler James Williams seems to always understand the red carpet assignments. Even with his black suit, the texture and the pose just elevated the whole look.
Anderson .Paak
Anderson .Paak shined bright and leaned into his Silk Sonic bag with his white pinstriped suit and red silky shirt. We love to see it, keep it up, Anderson!
Don Cheadle
Veteran actor Don Cheadle opted for a more casual look for this year’s party, and if we’re being honest, we don’t blame him! When you’re a legend like Cheadle, folks ought to be glad he showed up in the first place!
Alton Mason
You already know model Alton Mason was going to come through in a variation of a suit that looks like it costs a million bucks thanks to the silhouettes and how it’s cut. This is a great example of how you don’t have to do too much with your outfit to make a statement and stand out.
Chris Rock
Chris Rock was honored at this year’s party as he was one of the cover stars and co-hosts for the 31st annual celebration! His new film, “Misty Green,” is also streaming on Netflix now.
Miguel
Singer Miguel got the black memo as well, but he pulled it off in a mysterious look that makes us curious about what look is really underneath his giant coat! Way to keep things intriguing!
Lamorne Morris
“Spider-Noir” star Lamorne Morris kept it simple yet stylish with his black fit. Similar to Miguel, though, we’v got to give him compliments on the coat because it’s very nice!
Kendrick Sampson
Finally, some variety popped up on the carpet thanks to “Michael” star Kendrick Sampson, who popped out in some purple! That’s how you bring something new to the carpet!
Amin Joseph
“The Greatest” and “Snowfall” star Amin Joseph lowkey served Barack Obama-tease with his tan suit. And just like the former president, it looks good on him, too!
Angel Reese
Just because it was the “Man of the Year” celebration, that doesn’t mean women weren’t allowed. And we’re so glad they were because we otherwise wouldn’t see this fabulous look from Angel Reese!
Tracee Ellis Ross
Tracee “Never Misses” Ellis Ross came through with some fun shoes and a colorful ensemble that feels so uniquely her, but still immaculate at the same time. Who is doing it like her?
Jordan Chiles
Leave it to Olympic star Jordan Chiles to make a suit look even better on her than some of the menfolk! Eat’em up, Jordan!
Ayo Edebiri
Just like Chiles, Ayo Edebiri opted for a suit as well. But we got a lot more whimsy with this one thanks to the colors, and it’s a refreshing sight to see!
Halle Bailey
The always beautiful Halle Bailey stepped out for a night in Los Angeles, wearing all black and some seriously blinged-out diamonds and emeralds! Yasss girl, shine bright!
Tinashe
Singer Tinashe brought the sparkles and glitziness to the carpet in her beautful brown dress! Perfect for fall and perfect for the holiday season!
Taylor Rooks
One thing about Taylor Rooks? She’s always going to show up looking stunning and this year’s GQ MOTY party was no exception.
Rosalind Eleazar
“Misty Green” star Rosalind Eleazar had the perfect messy updo to complement her fit. We love to see it, and her shine in this new film!
