GQ “Men of the Year” Party VIP Tickets
Sometimes, one isn’t enough. One sock, one shoe? That’s just gonna piss somebody off. One kid, one car, one house. It’s not enough! That’s why GQ doesn’t have a Man of the Year issue. It’s final issue of the season honors all the amazing, talented, sexy, handsome Men of the Year, which can only mean one thing: A giant all-out party at one of the most luxurious venues in L.A. Naturally, VIP Concierge has those coveted all-access MOTY tickets that you won’t find anywhere else.
What’s GQ’s MOTY Celebration?
GQ has been honoring standout gentlemen in its annual magazine issue and at its sizzling-hot party since 1996, so they’ve had plenty of time to perfect everything. They have the best hosts, world-class DJs and entertainment and one of the most exclusive guest lists that you’ll find anywhere. So who exactly qualifies as a Man of the Year according to GQ? Sure, there are famous actors and musicians, but GQ also recognizes athletes, fashion moguls, filmmakers and entrepreneurs who have left an indelible mark on pop culture over the past year. In other words, anyone who’s anyone will be there.
Who Attends GQ’s Men of the Year Party?
Despite the name, GQ’s MOTY celebration isn’t a testosterone-fueled sausage fest. The party also attracts a long list of esteemed female guests, including some of the most beautiful, talented and successful ladies in their respective fields. Guests at last year’s party mingled with Sydney Sweeney, SZA, Gabbriette, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Halle Berry, Winnie Harlow, Paris Hilton, Olivia Rodrigo and Lizzo. That’s enough star power to light up Los Angeles!
Of course plenty of dashing fellows also attended. Need specifics? How about Young Thug, André 3000, Luka Sabbat, Offset, Aziz Ansari, Will Arnett, John C. Reilly, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Walton Goggins and Shaboozey. Perhaps tennis champ Frances Tiafoe said it best in 2024 when he quipped, “Everyone is here, bro.”
What’s Happening at GQ’s 2026 MOTY Party?
It’s too soon to say who will have their big moment in 2026, but who ever does is sure to be at the 31st Annual Men of the Year Party. Last year’s event was hosted by GQ Global Editorial Director Will Welch with help from a slew of celebs, including Stephen Colbert, Seth Rogen, SZA, Oscar Isaac, Clipse, Sydney Sweeney, Hailey Bieber and special musical guest MJ Lenderman. Quenlin Blackwell, Jason Stewart and Chris Black handled the red carpet livestream. And all their glamorous friends were invited.
We’ll announce the venue closer to the event, but the last two MOTY parties were held at the 5-star, $800 per night Chateau Marmot, one of the most luxurious hotels in L.A. Guests went home with deluxe schwag bags featuring strikable matches from Seth Rogen’s cannabis brand Houseplant and goodies from Hailey Bieber’s billion-dollar beauty line Rhode. Cocktails were provided by MOTY sponsors Johnnie Walker Blue Label and Patron. Classy! Even big pharma stalwart Eli Lilly helped to sponsor the shindig. Thank you, Zepbound!
MOTY Themes and Dress Codes
Next question: what should you wear? The dress code at this GQ party is typically rockstar chic, but the party unveiled its first theme in 2024: American Rodeo. There were plenty of cowboy boots and lots of leather. Organizers took things to the next level in 2025 with the theme Party Like It’s 1995. We saw plenty of double-breasted suit jackets, sultry leopard-print neckties and throwback brands like Tommy Hilfiger. Glamorous statement pieces and glitzy gowns and accessories are always welcome although the vibe is more underground and understated. In other words, just dress up in the coolest sh*t you own, or go out and buy some new cool sh*t to show off. We’ll provide details about the party’s dress code closer to the big day.
