Some of the nation’s hunkiest men and most beautiful women posed up a storm in front of the cameras.

Leading the way was Maya Jama who stunned in a plunging black gown with sequin detailing.

In it's 24th year, the GQ Men of the Year Awards celebrates the most deserving men and women in their respective fields, from acting to innovation.

Sir Anthony Hopkins has already been announced as the winner of GQ’s Legend Award.

Winners from this year’s event will not go home empty handed, as GQ confirmed they will receive a goody bag worth more than in celebration of all their achievements.

Meanwhile, guests will be fed by Clare Smyth of Core, which has the only triple-Michelin-starred restaurant run by a female chef in the UK.

This year, the magazine hired husband and wife Idris Elba and wife Sabrina Dhowre to host the ceremony.

Organisers have promised the awards will celebrate "those who have shaped the world’s cultural landscape in style, entertainment and sport throughout 2021".

In a joint statement the married couple said: "We are excited to host this year’s GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2021 in London.

"In their various ways, the GQ Men Of The Year award winners have kept all of our spirits up throughout one of the most difficult years and we are very much looking forward to celebrating with them – and hosting a great party!"

Nick Sargent, publishing director of British GQ, said: "After the unprecedented year we’ve had, I’m thrilled to announce the return of the GQ Men Of The Year Awards for 2021 as a live event.

"Even though our virtual event last year was a huge success, it’s exciting to be able to come together again in person to celebrate the incredible talent who best represent GQ and continue to push the boundaries on the world’s cultural stage.

“It will be a night to remember."
