When it comes to our annual GQ Men of the Year bash, we don’t play coy about what we expect to see from our honored guests on the red carpet: the biggest, baddest, splashiest, swerviest looks they’ve worn all year. And for the 2024 edition, which popped off last night at the iconic Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, we added an extra wrinkle in the form of an American Rodeo theme and corresponding “Hollywood Western” dress code.
As per usual, the attendees—headlined by co-hosts and MOTY cover stars Dwayne Johnson, John Mulaney, and Pharrell Williams—brought the heat and then some. The yee-haw energy was a-rockin’ in every direction, from Johnson letting his biceps shine in a slick leather vest to Naomi Osaka taking home Big Fit of the Night honors in custom Amiri.
Scroll on to see all our staff’s favorite looks of the night, from YG sporting an on-point Willy Chavarria concoction to Orville Peck saddling up in cowboy couture as only he can.
