Gabbriette, Diplo, Issa Rae, and More Were All Spotted at GQ’s Paris Fashion Week Soirée
After a few stellar fetes, GQ’s party has become a staple of the Paris men’s fashion week calendar. What was once a tell-all-your-friends-to-come-here type of evening has turned into one of the most celeb-clad soirées of the week. Hosted by GQ’s global editorial director, Will Welch, in collaboration with Levi’s, this season’s buzzy bash was filled with a fabulous roster of street-style swans, professional athletes, Grammy award-winning artists, and, naturally, models.
The setting for this highly anticipated event was none other than L’Avenue. And everyone was ready to toast the finale of men’s fashion month in style. The patio was packed with people catching up on the highlights from the latest spring 2025 collections and making predictions for the last lineup of debuts. Inside, neon lights welcomed guests to the main event. Spread across the entire restaurant turned club, the party felt neverending. It was almost impossible not to find a friend or acquaintance or revered talent to gawk over in every room.
Straight from a day full of shows, GQ’s Sam Hine, Adam Baidawi, Mobolaji Dawodu, and Federico Sarica floated throughout the scene. Off the field, NFL stars from Roquan Smith to Stefon Diggs to Joe Burrow all showed up dressing the fashion week part.
The atmosphere heated up quickly (literally!) as Giorgio di Salvo set the mood. Once Zack Bia took over, the likes of Pusha T, Kyle Kuzma, Dave Chapelle, Thomas Doherty, Kaytranada, Jessie Andrews, Willy Chavarria, Emily Ratajkowski, Ty Dolla $Ign, Evan Mock, Issa Rae, and others brought the party to a fever pitch.
Just when everyone thought the night had reached its peak, Diplo walked into the building. While fashion week is known to unite a multitude of cultural icons, the bi-annual GQ party truly brings everyone together on the dance floor.
