GQ men of the year awards

Last night’s GQ Men of the Year Awards attracted some of Australia’s brightest stars to the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney. Veterans and newcomers of the entertainment industry gathered for the black tie gala to celebrate men — and one woman! — in different fields, with the highest honour, Man of the Year, going to Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth. Chris, who also fronts GQ’s December issue (on sale now), wasn’t able to pick up his award, but expressed his gratitude via video, saying, “GQ has been so supportive of me right from the beginning of my career and it’s an honour and a privilege to be acknowledged within their pages.”

Rising star Bella Heathcote was named Woman of the Year, and Callan McAuliffe, at age 17, is the magazine’s youngest winner, taking home Breakthrough of the Year. Other winners included Guy Sebastian for Solo Artist of the Year, Matt Moran for Chef of the Year, and Sam Sparro for Man of Style. The guest list was filled with actors such as Phoebe Tonkin, Jodi Gordon, Samara Weaving, Todd Lasance and Asher Keddie, models Jessica Gomes and Samantha Harris, as well as TV personalities Ruby Rose and Molly Meldrum, and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong.

We saw more than one stand-out beauty look at the GQ Men of the Year Awards last night, but new bride Jodi Gordon looked particularly amazing in aqua. We'll be dreaming about her beachy waves for weeks to come, but it was her deep bronze tan against the crisp blue of her frock that really brought her look together. We love pairing out favourite aqua and turquoise nail polish with self tan — it's a dream combo and you'll get comments, lots of them.

The cream of Australia's celebrity and modelling scene hit the carpet for the GQ Men of the Year Awards last night in Sydney. Newly married Jodi Gordon was a vision in turquoise with beachy waves, while our resident vampire and ultimate girl crush Phoebe Tonkin sizzled with a bronzed body and minimal makeup. Australia darling Bella Heathcote (who was named Woman of the Year) showed off her incredibly shiny hair, and Ruby Rose brought the wet-look back.

Wow, what a week! The beginning of September is always heaving with events, the smell of the new season in the air and enough fashion and film festivals to keep us plenty occupied — this time around was no exception. Michelle Obama impressed millions around the world with her inspiring speech, Kristen Stewart finally came out of hiding after her cheating scandal (and she's looking better than ever!) and a certain royal and his almost-royal sister-in-law have been making waves for very different reasons. The fashion set came out to play for Fashion Week's kick-off, and the MTV VMAs were the colourful and happy riot they always are. But, that's not even a fraction of what's happened this week — click through the gallery and catch up on the massive week that was!

Whilst the GQ Men of the Year Awards are usually focused on the gentlemen, we have to admit we're slightly more interested in what the ladies wore to last night's chic soirée at the Opera House in Sydney. By the looks of the red carpet, stars stuck to an elegant dress code, donning ladylike frocks — like the Alex Perry worn by Sharni Vinson, the sexy-but-still-chic Dolce & Gabbana number worn by Megan Gale and Rachael Taylor's flawless Dion Lee LBD. The guys looked good too — with the Edgerton brothers, Kellun Lutz and Nick Smith (both suave in Burberry) and Jodhi Meares' better half Alex O'Loughlin opting for smart cocktail suits on the red rug.

If you're looking for celebrity makeup inspiration, you've come to the right place this week! We didn't have to go far to find five amazing celebrity beauty looks — the GQ Men of the Year Awards brought out Daisy Lowe's dramatic matte red lipstick and Kylie Minogue's loosely tonged tresses, while Natasha Poly's shimmering smoky eye from the Gucci Women in Cinema awards is next up on our eye makeup look-to-try list. Let us know — which will you be recreating for your next night out? Stay tuned for more celebrity beauty looks from New York Fashion Week!

A slew of the most stylish British celebs frock up in London last night for the GQ Men of the Year Awards, with yet again, the ladies outshining the men of the evening. Whilst Bradley Coooper's suave tux was indeed a sight to behold, we'd rather take ownership of Lara Stone's zingy orange shift. Other looks of note included Emma Watson's tartan McQ prom dress, Kylie Minogue's satin Dolce & Gabbana A/W '11 cocktail frock and Charlize Theron's elegant A/W '11 Roland Mouret number.
