Celebrities at the 2025 GQ Men of the Year Party
Here is a roundup from the 2025 GQ Men of the Year party at Chateau Marmont last night, where the dress code was unapologetically ’90s, and the guests took that brief in wildly different directions — some nostalgic, some literal, some chaotic, all very on-brand for a GQ party.
Midnight Sparkle Done Right
Olivia Rodrigo was one of the few shining — figuratively and literally — lights on this red carpet wearing a midnight-blue Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann embellished tank dress in her signature fitted silhouette. It’s simple, sexy, and exactly the kind of ’90s slip-adjacent moment that flatters her effortlessly. Shay jewels completed her look.
’90s, But Make It Tiny
I know Rachel Sennott’s Chloé Spring 2026 floral print dress won’t go down well because it is the size of a postage stamp, but considering the theme and the colours, I’m really into this. And I won’t lie, I probably wore a dress this short in the ’90s.
Retiring This One In 2026
Coco Jones gives a three-peat of this Mugler corset gown, first worn by Laverne Cox and Reina Hardesty, and I’m sure there has been more. We are absolutely retiring this dress in 2026.
A Classic Party Sparkle
A LBD decked out with sparkles? This vintage DSquared2 bustier dress couldn’t be more on brand for Becky G. She knows her formula, and she sticks to it.
Mini Khaite
Chase Sui Wonders wore a Khaite leather jacket and mini skirt — very ’90s New York nightlife, very “I borrowed this from an editor’s closet.”
Sequins Reimagined
Halle Bailey wore a sequin-drenched Elisabetta Franchi dress which was originally sheer, so you’ll be happy to see her lined version.
A Sculpted Little Drama
Kiernan Shipka wore a sculptured Magda Butrym mini dress with a ruffled skirt, styled with a classic Edie Parker box clutch. Cute, playful, very her.
Slip Dress, Maximum Ease
Lizzo — who we usually know to be larger-than-life style-wise — kept things super simple in an ivory slip dress. Clean, unfussy, and honestly refreshing.
Déjà Vu
If there’s one thing about Paris Jackson, it’s that she’s loyal — loyal to a very specific dress formula. Boho glamour, plunging neckline, thigh-high slit, gentle shimmer… and repeat. This Retrofête embellished gown is basically Paris Jackson: The Remix.
Corset Chaos
Shay Mitchell arrived in a bra, corset and enormous trousers — the kind of proportions that has that a’90s Mugler feel. Better tailored trouser would have sold this to me. But she wears it well.
Queen Of White Forever
Tems in white? We’ve been here before. Several times. The singer commits to this hue like no one else. Her stylist must not even bother pulling anything with colour anymore.
Archival Gucci Goodness
Winnie Harlow in archival Tom Ford for Gucci is the kind of ’90s reference this event should be encouraging. The plunging neckline, the gathered waist, the slinky cream jersey — this is vintage sex appeal handled with finesse.
A Dress That Did Her Dirty
I try, I really do, but Amelia Gray’s style remains a mystery to me. This Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann cami slip dress does absolutely nothing for her, and I find it very unflattering. But the green pumps? Those I love.
