GQ’s annual Men of the Year Party returned—and this year’s bash was bigger and better than ever as GQ marked the 30th anniversary of its annual celebration. The theme? Party Like It’s 1995. To help set the tone for a party of such epic proportions, GQ’s global editorial director Will Welch was joined by an elite cadre of co-hosts from across the cultural landscape, who are each cover stars for GQ’s Men of the Year issue: late-night legend Stephen Colbert, who discussed his show coming to an end; megawatt movie star Sydney Sweeney, on her transformation for the leading role in Christy; Emmy-sweeping multi-hyphenate Seth Rogen on his record-breaking wins for Studio; hit-making goddess SZA, on wrapping her first headlining global tour and spending 13 weeks at the top spot on the Billboard 100; intrepid leading man Oscar Isaac on landing the starring role of Victor Frankenstein in Guillermo Del Toro’s highly anticipated adaptation; resurgent rap renegades Clipse, who stand out as the comeback kings with the top rap album of the year; today’s top model-entrepreneur Hailey Bieber, who sold old her beauty brand Rhode for $1 billion; and guests including some of most influential people from across the worlds of fashion, entertainment, and sports.

GQ’s Men of the Year 2025 red carpet livestream, hosted by internet sweetheart Quenlin Blackwell and How Long Gone hosts Jason Stewart and Chris Black, aired live on GQ.com and on GQ’s YouTube channel. This event was made possible by Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Lexus, Capital One, Eli Lilly and Company, Ralph’s Club New York, and special thanks to 1 Hotels.
