The GQ Men of the Year 2023 gala at Bar Marmont in Los Angeles was the place to be last night.
While the fashion publication’s annual gala is usually regarded as the biggest night in menswear, this year felt extra AF since it featured a bevy of our favorite queer hotties like: Fellow Travelers hunks Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey, Rustin sensation Colman Domingo, and style legends Tom Ford and Law Roach.
Other standouts included: Red, White & Royal Blue lovebirds Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine, Saltburn studs Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan, and newly single celebrity stylist Chris Appleton.
But it wasn’t just a night for the boys. The ladies were also represented as pop divas Dua Lipa, Megan Thee Stallion, and St. Vincent, among others, added their feminine glam to the sea of men in attendance.
With the official dress code being “modern red carpet,” which GQ defined as “anything and everything swanky, swerve-y, and scene-stealing,” everyone brought their fashion A game to the event.

You had me with that incredible list of men at the GQ Awards until you got to Law Roach. What a self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing POS he is. He’s is (was) a stylist and was very good at his job until his ego got so overblown that he just couldn’t play 2nd fiddle to anyone. Sashay…away…for good.
Slight 40’s noir to a lot of the silhouettes–baggy pants, oversized coats…that sort of thing. With that being said, if you’ve read a copy of GQ lately–it’s really a rag now with the cheap paper they print on, mostly editorial and diminished in volume.
And, apparently, belts are out. GQ has always struggled to be relevant. To be honest, I’m not sure how they stay in business. I dress pretty crazy, and I wouldn’t be caught in most of the stuff they print. Most of these looks were at least wearable.
Matt Bomer apparently couldn’t find a shirt to wear, Megan Thee Stallion should have been arrested for wearing that in public, and Owen Thiele showed up in a coat designed for flashers in dark alleys.

U are correct. Dude looks like a lady and not a very attractive one.
LumpyPillows
It was a look. A bit to overthought. Oversized, over layered and with a purse. A for effort though.
Diplomat
Holy shit: Bomer Perez and Galitzine in the same room?!!! That could cause one serious power outage.
And no Diplo isn’t me. I’m way hotter.
dbmcvey
No one thought you were that diplo. He has better things to do.
abfab
Hotter. Sure, Jan.
LumpyPillows
A lot of men I really like were there! Discovered a few new ones too.

Like VIVA, it was top shelf at the time.
Rikki Roze
No Asian or Latino men?

Taylor Zakhar Perez is Mexican and Middle Eastern, but you aren’t wrong that more representation is always welcome.
LumpyPillows
Christ, it’s the quota police again.
abfab
I know! She uses that race card way too often.

Matt Bomer apparently couldn’t find a shirt to wear, Megan Thee Stallion should have been arrested for wearing that in public, and Owen Thiele showed up in a coat designed for flashers in dark alleys.
Sigh…GQ used to be such a classy magazine empire.
dbmcvey
He’s wearing a shirt. Unfortunately. I think he should never have to wear clothes at all.
Matthewnow
Matt Bomer doesn’t need a shirt. OOOKAY!
Diplomat
Nic Galitzine,
You’re much hotter as a highlighted blond. It brings out your devil angel contrast to a tee. Black doesn’t do you any favors regarding your skin tone.
Add a wink to the post above….
LumpyPillows
I do like him as a blonde a bit better, but he could do anything and I would be OK with it.
dbmcvey
Coleman Domingo looks amazing! Incredibly gorgeous man, and when he talks, even better!
bachy
Huge fan of Barry Keoghan’s film performances but dude, stick to acting. Fashion is not in your wheelhouse.
Colorado Couple
Was anyone else shown other than Matt Bomer, Jonathan Bailey & Tom Ford?
