Leigh-Anne Pinnock Commands Attention on the Red Carpet
Singer and style icon Leigh-Anne Pinnock delivered a truly breathtaking fashion moment at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2025 on Tuesday night. The former Little Mix star, aged 34, graced the red carpet at London's Tate Modern, captivating onlookers with her sartorial choice.
She selected a strikingly daring white dress featuring an intensely plunging neckline that perfectly highlighted her toned physique. The elegant ruffled design of the gown further accentuated her gym-honed legs, a look she complemented with a pair of stylish block-heeled white shoes that added to her stature.
Her accessories were meticulously chosen, including a delicate silver necklace and a pair of bold statement earrings. Confidently working her best angles for the assembled photographers, Pinnock proved once again why she is considered a fashion force.
A Star-Studded Evening of Celebration
The event, now in its 28th edition, returned to honour the most influential figures from the worlds of sport, art, and entertainment over the past year. Sponsored by eBay, Patrón, and Defender, the ceremony was a highlight of the social calendar.
The red carpet was hosted by Kareem Rahma of Subway Takes, while the main dinner was emceed by the comedic duo Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone. The guest list was a veritable who's who of talent, with notable attendees including Maya Jama, Cynthia Erivo, and Gwendoline Christie.
Other luminaries gracing the event were Pierce Brosnan, Skepta, Jack O'Connell, Stellan Skarsgård, and Tom Hiddleston. The guest list also featured rising stars from The Summer I Turned Pretty, Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno, as well as breakout musical artists Laufey, Nemzzz—who performed on the night—and Wet Leg.
Reflections and Revelations from the Honourees
The evening was not just about glamour but also a celebration of profound cultural impact. Among those celebrated was Cynthia Erivo, who was recently featured on the cover of GQ amidst the promotional tour for her role in Wicked.
In a poignant interview with the magazine, the 38-year-old actress opened up about the complex emotions underpinning her success. She revealed a personal sadness stemming from her estrangement from her father, whom she last saw at age 16 following a disagreement over a London tube ticket.
Erivo shared with GQ that her father's final words to her were, 'This will be the last time I ever see you.' She admitted to the magazine that she is often reminded of him due to their shared physical features, including a distinctive gap between their front teeth, which she calls 'a supreme joke from the universe.'
Despite this, Erivo has found her own sense of closure, focusing on her achievements and the joy she brings to her supporters, particularly her mother, Edith. Her appearance at the awards, where she was honoured as a Man of the Year, marked another high point in her remarkable career.
It is worth noting that the GQ Men of the Year Awards are held annually in both London and Los Angeles, with the LA ceremony having taken place on November 13 at the Chateau Marmont, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the issue and honouring figures like Stephen Colbert and Sydney Sweeney.
