Save this story Save Story Save this story The carpet at our annual GQ Men of the Year party may be red, but we’re seeing—dare we say it— Brat green.
Last night, as the stars of our latest MOTY issue gathered at the iconic Chateau Marmont, we noticed a verdant trend emerge on the carpet. Who better to kick things off than two of the most boisterous creatives from our 2026 Breakout Stars crew? First up was actor-comedian Stavros Halkias , who sported a screaming lime green suit by Alan David, a matching Cego silk shirt, and olive-hued Bottega Veneta loafers. Not far behind was Club Kid director-star Jordan Firstman , who also greened out in a full runway look from Anthony Vaccarello ’s final menswear collection for Saint Laurent: a boxy, greenish khaki suit with bejeweled buttons, layered over a liquid-silk chartreuse shirt. Both ensembles sure were bright, but ask any color theorist and they’ll probably tell you that wearing green on a red carpet is a surefire way to stand out—they’re opposite of each other on the color wheel for a reason!
The chartreuse looks just kept on coming: the one and only Ice Spice donned a flowing green DSquared2 dress, with matching green eyeshadow (and a curiously hirsute handbag) to boot.
Elsewhere on the carpet, The Bear ’s Ayo Edebiri—already a bonafide menswear star —opted for a different but equally striking shade of green. Her sleek striped power suit by London-based designer Connor Ives popped thanks to a kelly green shirt and a contrasting crimson tie. (Edebiri wasn’t the only woman who rocked tailoring on the MOTY carpet this year: model Cara Delevingne, who stars in Firstman’s Club Kid , wore a slouchy-chic black suit by Saint Laurent, while Luciana Damon, wife of cover star Matt , layered a tuxedo-style bolero jacket over her gown.)
If the MOTY red carpet can provide any insights into the year of fashion ahead, we’ll surely be seeing even more green in the months to come. We’re manifesting abundance , in more ways than one.
