Los Angeles, CA. Hollywood’s most stylish night returned on November 13, 2025, as GQ’s annual Men of the Year Party transformed the Chateau Marmont with its signature mix of glamour, star power, and red-carpet energy. Among this year’s notable attendees was actor and filmmaker Walid Chaya, a returning guest who joined the celebration as GQ marked the 30th anniversary of its iconic MOTY issue.
The event carried light nods to 1995 in honor of the milestone year, and the evening ultimately centered on standout style, unforgettable conversations, and a gathering of the entertainment industry’s brightest. Leading the festivities was a powerhouse group of co-hosts, Stephen Colbert, Sydney Sweeney, Seth Rogen, SZA, Oscar Isaac, Pusha T & Malice (Clipse), and Hailey Bieber—representing a spectrum of creative influence.
Chaya arrived among a guest list filled with A-listers, creators, and cultural tastemakers, taking in the atmosphere as the red carpet buzzed with unique looks and eclectic fashion choices. GQ livestreamed arrivals, giving fans around the world a glimpse into one of Hollywood’s most anticipated annual nights.
