GQ Honors Actors, Musicians and Artistic Icons at Berlin Gala
The renowned men’s style magazine, GQ, celebrated a diverse range of talent at its 26th annual “Men of the Year” gala, held in the elegant Orangerie of Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin.
A Night of International Glamour
The event brought together international stars, with British actor Nicholas Hoult (“The Menu”) receiving the accolade for “Actor of the Year” and American actor Kyle MacLachlan (“Twin Peaks,” “Fallout”) being honored as “Icon.” Hoult, 34, has garnered critical acclaim for his versatile performances, while MacLachlan, 65, remains a revered figure in cinematic history.
Originally, Jennifer Coolidge, known for her breakout role in “The White Lotus” and her unforgettable portrayal of Stifler’s Mom in “American Pie,” was slated to receive the “Woman of the Year” award. However, Coolidge canceled her appearance at the gala, which was designed to honor individuals across various categories.
The red carpet was abuzz with excitement as attendees arrived for the glamorous evening. German singer Marius Müller-Westernhagen, actresses Christiane Paul and Franka Potente, and rapper Luciano, known for his hit “Beautiful Girl,” graced the occasion. Luciano was set to receive the “Musician of the Year” award, while French fashion designer Michèle Lamy was honored as “Art Icon of the Year.”
Beyond Men of the Year
GQ, which is published by Condé Nast and also houses the notable fashion magazine Vogue, has expanded the scope of its “Men of the Year” awards in recent years to recognize inspiring women who are making exceptional contributions in their respective fields.
