Hey guys.

I'm here at GQ's Men of the Year 30th Anniversary Party,

and I'm about to take this red carpet.

I'm gonna be a floating head.

I'm gonna go change real quick. I'll be right back.

[energetic music]

I have arrived in my Mugler. Thank you.

Live at the Chateau Marmont.

If these walls could talk, you'd gag.

We're here partying like it's 1995

with GQ at their 30th anniversary Men of the Year.

Look at the looks. Look at the gags.

Everyone's doing a great job.

I wanna stop for a moment and do a second of edit farming.

Hold on. Let's do right here.

I need some wind. [tool whirring]

Yes, I'm everything.

That's enough. Let's pump.

This year's host are Stephen Colbert, Seth Rogen,

SZA, Oscar Isaac, Clipse and Hailey Bieber.

Oh, what's up Walton?

[Speaker] Yeah I'm here.

I'm so sorry. Hello.

Hi. How are you?

I heard you just had a birthday two days ago.

I did, yeah, I did. I did have a birthday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like three days ago.

Oh, everything. What are you doing to celebrate?

Well, I'm here. This is what this gathering is for.

It's for my birthday. Yeah.

The, yeah, no, GQ reached out and they said,

We want to throw you a birthday party.

And I couldn't believe they got all these people to come.

But yeah, I'm really excited.

No, this is GQ's party

celebrating three decades of Men of the Year.

Yes. You know, that's, that makes sense.

Yeah. That's, that's happening.

But it's also my birthday and I know a lot of people are,

do you have a cake?

I do. I do.

Is it? It's coming up?

Okay. Alright.

Perfect. Perfect.

It's Men of the Year's 30th.

What were you doing on this night in 1995?

Oh my God, this night in 1995.

I was probably valet parking in 1995.

Humble beginning. Well I moved here in 1991.

Right, and so I no,

maybe I was personal training, or maybe I was valet.

You know what, I valet parked

'cause I had my own valet parking business.

And I think, you know what happened on this night?

What happened? I parked Seal's car.

Everything. At the great Greek.

Iconic. Legendary.

This year was so special

that you got four new tattoos to mark it.

Can you show us one of your favorites?

Oh God. Family friendly.

There's a lot of leather right here.

It's okay. Free yourself.

Here we go. I'll give you one right here.

It's, they're small. Pilgrims.

As in Amish? Pilgrim. No, no.

Yeah. As the person who landed on Plymouth Rock.

No, just a, a person that lives their life, you know,

out in the world that just moves from place to place,

and is curious about the world.

Nomad vibes. Yeah. Nomad vibes, yeah.

People that are curious about different cultures

and the different ways that people think.

It's a nice reminder to have.

Speaking of vibes, what was your vibe in the nineties?

Were you more stoner, grunge, goth?

God. Oh my God.

Well, it's like, that's Tarantino's decade, isn't it?

Yeah. You know?

So between that and kind of reality bites, I mean,

I think I had some plaid shirts.

You know, I mean, I was a Nirvana guy, for sure.

So you were giving grunge?

Yes. I was a little, a little grunge.

You were? Good.

Well, Walton, I dig your vibes.

We're gonna be too lit tonight.

We're gonna have a good time. Are you ready to turn up?

We're gonna have a very good time.

It was so lovely to talk to you.

[energetic music]

All right, you all know I don't gate keep the fun,

so I brought some friends with me.

They're serving signature nineties BBE, Boy Band Energy.

Jason and Chris from How Long Gone.

Thanks Quinn.

We're back again celebrating three decades

of GQ Man of the Year.

And we're coming to you live from a parking garage

disguised as a red carpet.

And we filled it with the coolest actors, athletes,

musicians, fashion icons, and of course podcasters.

Welcome to show business, baby.

Oh, it's GQs biggest bash.

And they've made the mistake

of giving us microphones once again.

Big mistake, GQ.

Huge. So many celebs.

So little time. Let's get it started.

Let's get it started Chris.

[energetic music]

Seth, when are we getting a studio episode

about a GQ party?

Maybe like this one here.

That's a good question.

Do you, I don't, do you guys invite studio executives

to these parties?

I don't think so. Probably, right?

Definitely not.

We're definitely not, we're not-

We're not in charge of that.

The answers probably never 'cause-

Got it.

I don't think a guy with my guy's job would ever.

There's sort of an episode

about how they're not allowed at the Chateau.

Yeah, maybe trying to get in. Yeah.

We shot a whole episode here at the Chateau though.

It was great.

Desperate to get in. Alright.

In season one. You can actually sneak in

through the kitchen like I do in the episode, just saying.

So now how did you find that out?

They told us.

Oh, that's unfair.

This is a livestream. Yeah.

In season one, you directed Martin Scorsese

to his very first Emmy nomination for acting.

Some might say that makes you a better director

than Martin Scorsese.

How do you?

He could do that too.

He had a couple stinkers, right?

Yeah. He's got some stinkers.

How do you feel?

I don't know

if he's directed himself in a television show,

so technically-

Okay. I see.

I don't know if he's-

We're nitpicking now.

If he took the swing, yeah.

We're nitpicking now.

Okay we know you're a Real Housewives head

and if you had to cast one of them in the studio,

and I'm gonna make you choose one from Salt Lake,

of course, who would it be?

Not to knock what I'm sure is

the utmost level of journalistic integrity you two have.

But I, while I do love Bravo,

I don't watch any Real Housewives show.

And could not name you one person

from any Real Housewives.

Are you more of a Mormon?

What do you watch then? Sunset?

I watch like Below Deck I really like-

Oh, Med, Meds?

Yes, I like all of the Below Decks.

The selling-

Selling Sunset.

The Selling Sunset.

And the real estate. Million Dollar Listings.

I like the Million Dollar Listings.

That, we're talking about Million Dollar Listings.

It's a real classic.

I like them. Yeah, those are good, yeah.

It's a real classic. I never got in,

there's too many Real Housewives

and I don't like how they're racially segregated like that.

That's why I don't watch it too. Yeah.

What whoa, what were you doing

with your hair in the nineties?

'Cause I, I have a feeling that you had frosted tips.

I have, I have actually,

what is a more embarrassing answer than that.

Okay. I had dreadlocks.

Oof, all right thanks we're gonna wrap this up.

What's the length and the girth on these locks?

They were like around shoulder length

and they were bleached blonde.

Were we going girth master though?

They were, no, they were like,

I'd say like pencil, pencil thick.

What color was the roots hoodie?

I wore, I was, you were likely

to catch me in like a Korn T-shirt.

Okay. Maybe a Deftones T-shirt.

Sure. With my dreadlocks

and like army pants, yeah.

That's, awe-

You was a twisted little bitch back then.

I was.

What was the footwear, if you don't mind me asking?

I'd wear, I skateboarded so, I had air walks or-

Okay, sure.

Like DCs or something like that. Yeah.

Well that's, that's good intel. All right.

As Simon. Thank you Seth Rogen.

Thank you. Have fun tonight.

Appreciate it.

And we'll see you out there.

I will. Good luck out there.

[energetic music]

Chat I am here

with the scariest creatures I ever seen in my life.

Why y'all so big?

We used to drink milk in the nineties.

It was straight up lactose. It helped us grow.

Ah, the 19 hundreds.

The fashion, the music, the cars, the nineties.

That was our time.

And GQ Man of the Year was born then as well.

Well, I wasn't, but now look 30 years later, all grown up

and it's the biggest party on Sunset

on a Thursday night in November.

GQ you ate. Ate.

But seriously, what was A-O-L?

You mean AOL? Yeah.

Instant messenger. It was all the rage.

That's how we chat.

Chris, what was your screen name on there?

I was Jdaddy59.

I was just Chris. C-H-R-I-S I got in early.

Wow. I know.

Really found it.

I have no idea what you guys-

Impressive. Are talking about.

They're so weird.

The nineties were a time where bare midriff, baggy jeans

and flannel shirts all lived together in harmony.

God, that was beautiful Jason. Thank you for that.

But I think this will really show Quinn what she missed.

Here's the first installment of GQs three part documentary.

Looking back at 30 years of men's fashion.

[Narrator] For the 30th anniversary of GQ Men of the Year,

we're looking back at three decades of change

in men's fashion.

Today, style is the cultural currency of our time.

From the runway to the street, online and off,

men's wear is now a powerful tool of self-expression,

influence, and identity.

So how did we get here?

[upbeat music]

The 1990s, the birth of modern fashion.

In the early nineties, men's wear was teetering

on the edge of revolution.

Minimalism is the order of the day.

But mainstream style was being challenged

by waves of subversion.

Teenagers worshiped king of grunge Kurt Cobain.

While Wu-Tang Clan was spreading the gospel

of boisterous streetwear.

Come on, baby. Pump it up.

[Narrator] Skateboarding was

one of the fastest growing sports in the country,

dictating how millions of kids dressed.

Meanwhile, fashion advertising grew louder

and more influential.

Calvin Klein's underwear ads featuring

a crotch grabbing Marky Mark caused a global sensation.

And Ralph Lauren minted Tyson Beckford

as the world's first Black supermodel.

Into the fray stepped a young American designer

named Tom Ford, whose fall 1995 runway show

for Gucci was the big bang that marked the dawn

of a new era in men's fashion.

Ford's opulent velvet tuxedos

and sexy silk shirts had a seventies look,

but they embodied the rebellious in your face attitude

sweeping the culture at that very moment.

The menswear rule book

had officially been thrown out the window.

[upbeat music]

Well, I'm here with Leon Bridges.

I've been told six different names today.

He's coming out with a single tomorrow

we gonna eat this interview up.

We're gonna play a game called this or that.

Are you ready, goth or grunge?

I mean, I don't really gravitate towards,

you know, either of the two.

I kind of just do my own little thing.

Yes. You know.

What do you say your vibe is?

Yeah, I would say my vibe is like, you know,

if anybody's ever been to Texas, I try to embody, you know,

a dude living in Texas in the seventies, you know.

That's nice.

I'm from Dallas, so nice to see you.

Backstreet Boys or NSYNC?

I gotta go with NSYNC for sure.

That's real. That's real.

Friends or Sex in the City?

I'd probably go with Friends.

Oh. And he's the winner of this episode of this or that.

And now you get a prize. Put out your arm.

It's a slap bracelet.

Thank you so much.

It was so nice talking to you.

Nice talking to you too.

Have a good rest of your party, Leon Bridges.

Get it, know what I'm saying.

Enjoy. [upbeat music]

Oh my God.

Has anyone ever told you you look like you smell good?

No, no, no one's ever told me that.

Well, you do. Thank you.

You're welcome. You're welcome.

At least I look like I do, even if I don't,

that's the most important thing.

You don't look anywhere near a stink or a musk, trust.

I tried to find you on Instagram

and I could only find fan pages.

What's up with you and your relationship with social media?

You know, it's like so much is focused on the phone.

It's such a like gravity pull that I like to, you know,

any reason to not be on the phone.

I'm always looking for. So.

Me, I locked myself in a closet in Oregon

to get away from the phone.

That's what you had to do?

Yeah. Yeah. Jonesing.

Literally we heard Prince was an inspiration

for your Victor Frankenstein, amazing performance.

Besides this performance,

what else do you and Prince have in common?

We both love Chaps. Right.

Where's your chaps?

I know. I should have worn my chaps.

They're underneath.

Okay. So later when I get hot-

I can't wait to see you when you're partying.

Yeah.

You're also in a band with your 6-year-old son,

Prince, band you see where we're going with this?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What nineties albums are you playing him for inspo?

You know, he's really in his System of A Down, is it?

Yeah, he really likes System, he's really into System,

because he's a drummer.

Yeah. System of Down was a big one, Metallica, Pixies.

You have the coolest child of all time.

He's pretty cool. I got two, they're both pretty cool.

Congratulations. One day, hopefully I'll get a cool child.

[upbeat music]

[energetic music]

Oh, New York.

And this is all so L.A.

I know this is incredibly hard for people like you.

Yes it is. Could you say

one nice thing about Los Angeles?

Uh... [both laughing]

Clock's ticking, chief.

Well, I was, you know, I mean, I'm trying to think

of like all the jokes that have already been made

that I've don't want to repeat.

Well, you, you know, you have space, right?

Okay. Space helps.

Yeah. Okay. Space helps.

When you, when you people say, yeah, arms-

We'll accept, we'll accept that answer.

We have space. Yeah, okay. That hair looks good

in a convertible too, I bet.

Oh, you bet it does.

Alright. Alright.

We heard that Clooney and Sandler

were always on the basketball court

where you were making Jay Kelly.

Did they ever draft you for a game of horse?

I don't offense, but you don't look like

you're nasty with it on the court.

I'm all right. I grew up in Brooklyn.

Oh, true, true. You know, I-

Power forward? what position?

Yeah, more point guard I would say.

But yeah, we did, we played-

Pistol Pete vibes.

We played horse. We also threw baseball around.

We, you know, we, we, you know, they're very athletic,

so you, you've gotta shake it up.

Sure. You acclimate.

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, so how come it took you

so long to shoot in a fun location like Italy, for example?

It's a good point, Well, the last movie I made,

I was on, I was shot a lot at night.

At 4:00 AM I was like standing on a tar,

like concrete in Ohio on an abandoned freeway.

Not great. Not great.

So I, I just wrote the next one for Tuscany. Yeah.

Smart. Alright.

Thank you Noah, we really appreciate it.

Have fun tonight.

Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah. So far so good. Great.

We're celebrating three decades

of Men of the Year tonight.

And we're traveling through the eras

like a Taylor Swift tour.

Right now, it's time for one of my favorites,

the aughts, it's a terrible word.

[upbeat music]

[Narrator] The aughts, the rise of menswear tribes.

As a millennium dawned,

the radical fashion subcultures were now mainstream

with blogging and online forums

stoking a new wave of style.

Menswear began splintering into tribes

were you a Carhartt wearing urban lumberjack,

a supreme obsessed hype beast,

a skinny jeans clad indie scenester

or an Italian tailor and connoisseur?

Whichever you were there was a corner of the internet

where you could nerd out.

Fashion designers no longer sold clothes.

They sold a lifestyle

and everyone wanted to in on the action.

Pharrell Williams launched his own label,

Billionaire Boys Club,

and Mark Jacobs invited pop artist Takashi Murakami

to collaborate on a line for Louis Vuitton.

Against this backdrop, upstart men's fashion designers

like Tom Brown were determined

to further blur the lines between fashion and art.

When Brown launched his shrunken suit

in the early aughts people scoffed.

But by the end of the decade,

Brown's theatrical runway shows were

the hottest ticket in town

and high water pants ruled the streets.

Fashion had become personal, performative,

and captivating to anyone with a point of view.

[upbeat music]

Kun, the chat is going crazy for you.

Can you say something to your fans?

I love them. They're the best in the world.

We're so grateful for you guys to be here.

What is a ritual you do to calm your nerves

before you go on stage?

You know what, listen to music.

I actually put out a music today. I dropped a song today.

It's called What A Day.

Go stream. Classic track.

Hey, you've been a global ambassador for Versace,

Mugler, Charlotte Tilbury, Nautica, do you ever sleep?

Do I ever sleep? Yeah.

Never. The best don't.

Thank you so much, Kun.

So nice to talk to you. Incredible outfit.

Thank you. Ah! [upbeat music]

Oh my God. I'm here with the boys, the men.

There are six other GQ cover stars this year.

Do you guys have any beef with any of them?

Nah, not at all.

Not at all. We love everybody.

That's right, having a good time tonight.

World peace. Congratulations on the album of the year.

Grammy nomination. That's huge.

In all of your five nominations,

tell us about how you found out.

We were in LV headquarters,

just chilling like we always do.

Us, Pharrell just sitting down

and I'm just watching it on TV

and you know, on YouTube.

And we were excited.

We didn't expect to get all five,

but it was a pleasant surprise.

Wow. Yeah. Everything he said.

[laughs] GQ has officially called you Rappers of the year.

Do you think GQ has the credentials to make that claim?

I'd say so, definitely. Absolutely.

I think so too.

You were the first rappers to ever play at the Vatican.

Who has better hats? The Pope or Pharrell?

Oh, Pharrell for sure.

I agree. He has good ones.

But could Pharrell get y'all into heaven?

[all laughing]

[energetic music]

The Russells, oh my God.

The Russells are toxic, glamorous and weirdly relatable.

What's the attraction to toxic people?

I don't think of us as toxic, to be clear,

but I will say the attraction to toxic people,

I think has to do with boundaries.

And the idea

that crossing those boundaries is exciting.

When you know where the boundaries are, it's,

you want to push against them as much as you can.

I think that's what makes toxic people fun.

True. I love toxic people so much.

If we were making a show about the age we're in,

what would it be called and why?

Fun answers only. Please get dark with it.

That's what I like. But you can have fun.

I mean yeah. Say it.

I mean, I think, I think climate catastrophe is not light.

So let's start with- Yeah.

What do they call it? The Anthropocene. That's the-

Yeah. Or no, no, it's the-

How about the Gilded Rage?

Hey. Hey.

But what does it mean?

[energetic music]

Yeah, all right Will, what's going on?

Not too much.

Is This Thing On is apparently Certified Fresh.

Okay.

And I don't use that term

'cause I don't use Rotten Tomatoes,

but the reviews are great.

What was the worst part about being directed

by Bradley Cooper?

Let's not get into the negatives.

First of all, I call it Rotten Tomatoes,

'cause I'm Canadian, I hope that's okay.

That works for me. I can understand that.

There was no downside of, of working with Bradley.

It was all upside.

Okay. Yeah.

Okay, great question. Great answer.

Why don't you believe me?

I believe you enough for this purpose.

Right? Okay.

Rapid fire question time for you Will, okay.

Your SmartLess co-hosts,

you can only pick one for each question.

Phone call from jail. Jason or Sean?

Sean.

Go to Burning Man with?

Jason.

[Jason] He does more drugs. Body swap for a day with who?

I didn't say he does more drugs,

but he does, sorry, go ahead, body, what is it?

Swapping bodies with one of them for one day.

Who's it gonna be?

Listen, I'm sorry to say it's-

A chance to be gay. Listen-

[Jason] You can choose your body.

Oh, you're right, you're right.

I was gonna say I, where is this airing on?

Can I- This is on Youtube.com.

On YouTube.

I'm not gonna say it.

I would say, no offense to Sean. I would say Jason.

Yeah, Because he's, you know,

he's very, very trim.

His body's cleaner inside.

Well, it's cleaner.

But he also, he spends a lot of time thinking about-

On his body. A lot of time on.

I don't wanna spend a lot of time on his body.

All right, let's go, let's keep going.

I love his body too.

Okay. Who would you trade wardrobes with?

Jason. Okay.

Didn't have to think about that one.

No.

Help you fight the zombie apocalypse with?

Sean, and you know why? Because he's such a nerd.

He would know where to kill them and stuff, you know-

You know the points.

He knows all the thing about, yeah.

As we wrap up, I know you are Canadian.

Yes.

Did you match with Katy Perry on Raya

before Justin Trudeau?

What do you know?

I don't. [both laughing]

Just a wild guess. It's a wild.

How is that possible you guessed that?

We're geniuses. Thank you Will, appreciate it.

Thank you. We'll see you next time.

Thank you fellas.

Thank you. Yeah, of course, have fun.

[energetic music]

I am here with Will Welch,

the God of tonight's events, editor in chief of GQ Magazine.

What does the 30 year legacy of Men of the Year mean to you?

Oh. Yeah.

30 years from 1995 when Men of the Year started.

Me and the team are really just trying to have fun with it.

You know, celebrate, we got a nineties theme going.

So all about just throwing a great party.

And we're having a great party.

We're having a great event.

How do you pick this year's cover stars and honorees?

It's all about who are the people from this year

who had a big cultural impact across music,

fashion, film, et cetera.

So it's a lot of debating with the team.

Incredible, passionate debating.

Tonight we're also paying tribute to someone very special.

Tell us about it.

May I? Yeah.

Thank you.

So, earlier this year, as you all know,

we lost a fashion icon, Giorgio Armani.

Mr. Armani rose to stardom after dressing Richard Gere

in the movie American Gigolo

and revolutionized tailoring forever.

So GQ sat down with Richard Gere

to look back on their lifelong collaboration and friendship.

[somber music]

I don't know anything about style. I never did.

I never will. But I know that his fabrics are beautiful.

You feel comfortable in the finally crafted,

timeless designs.

I think it just was an affinity.

And personally, we just got along too. It was simple.

You know, there's a scene in American Gigolo

where I'm singing this song and I'm picking out clothes

and I'm dancing around the room like a little girl.

Where we started doing it.

I say, Paul, you, you really want to do this like this?

He said, Yeah, go with it.

So I started dancing around and singing, picking clothes,

that was brand new.

Guys doing that, caring about this tie goes with that shirt,

that shirt goes with this colored pants.

It seemed to speak to a moment

where guys were interested in that kind of thing.

My first movie was opening at Cannes.

I had this Giorgio Armani clothes

and I was feeling pretty good about myself at that point,

going to Cannes.

I wear T-shirts all the time,

but there's, they're kind of faded, you know,

from, I shouldn't say the Gap or whatever,

you know, it was like nothing.

He always come up to me

and he'd touch the fabric of my T-shirt

and then he'd go... [laughs]

He enjoyed playing dress up.

When I was a kid,

my mother would make costumes for the plays I was in.

And I think he was like that.

He enjoyed playing, but with the talent

and the craft of a craftsman who gets the details right,

very important to him. [somber music continues]

[Interviewer] Alright, Pusha,

I know you are a prolific Rolex collector.

What's the state of your collection right now?

How many you have?

Oh Man. At home?

I'm, I'm somewhere around 16 I think.

[Interviewer] Wow, that's amazing.

Yeah.

[Interviewer] Tell me about the watch

you're wearing tonight.

Tonight we are with the platinum Presidential.

[Interviewer] Oh yeah.

Rolex Sapphire, six and nine.

Blue sapphire, flooded face. Baguette bezel.

Alright. Patrick, thank you for joining us here.

For roles like White Lotus,

you know, you're gonna have to take your shirt off

quite a lot.

How do you stay fit? I need help.

The shirt wasn't the only thing to come off,

but you know, for me, it's not only about, you know,

staying fit and trying to stay, you know,

consistent and dedicated in the gym,

but it's also about, you know, staying mentally sharp

and talking about kind of cognitive health and brain health.

And, you know,

unfortunately there is kind of Alzheimer's that runs

in my family.

And so yeah, it's a disease

that I'm extremely passionate about

and passionate about spreading awareness

and kind of educating people, ensuring people

that know a little bit about

the early detections of Alzheimer's so.

Beautiful. Love it.

Okay well, I'm sure you've learned a lot from your dad,

but is there anything he's learned from you?

Maybe any trends? Any fitness stuff, any TikTok dances?

No, I'm not on TikTok so. Good for you.

But I, it's actually my mom

that I've learned a lot about Alzheimer's and brain health.

I mean it- Oh really?

It was her father that was diagnosed with it,

and so I've learned everything that I know

about Alzheimer's and brain health research through her

and through her work and dedication to the disease so.

Shout out to moms. Shout out to moms.

To mom.

Patrick, let's get honest for a second.

Okay. Open up.

When's the last time

that you ate a hamburger with a bun?

Not protein style with a bun.

Wow. Probably this last week.

Wow. Okay.

He's a real one. We were wrong about you.

Last week and you still head to toe leather underwear

and you're still eating buns, and I'm proud of you.

I gotta ask you quickly, what's underneath the leather?

Like what do you wear underneath a leather shirt?

Nothing, brother.

Okay. Okay.

I didn't know if you had a tank top on or something, maybe.

No, no. I let it squeak all over.

It's, it feels-

He's squeaking tonight, ladies, gentlemen.

It's warm in here. Okay.

It's a little steamy down here in the garage.

Okay. So there's something I've always wanted to ask you.

It would be truly a dream come true,

if you could do this for us.

Can you please read this In-N-Out order

in your dad's voice?

Absolutely not. [Chris laughing]

Fair enough.

That's what we were hoping for.

Okay. Got it.

Thank you Patrick. We appreciate you joining us.

Thank you. Have fun tonight.

[energetic music]

Tonight we're doing the nineties.

What is a forgotten fashion trend

that you might want to come back?

You have a beautiful velvet suit today.

Thank you so much. Maybe something-

I don't know if this is forgotten, but I mean-

It's not.

if we're talking about the nineties,

I think the image that comes to mind for me

is Justin Timberlake and the Canadian tuxedo.

Mm. Done.

And I'm not saying that 'cause I'm Canadian, you know.

It feels like it.

But it's it's definitely on brand.

I've wear Canadian tuxedo all the time.

Yeah.

And Timberlake made it look good too.

Timberland? Yeah.

Timberland Timberlake.

I'm sure Timberland-

Timberland looks a little less.

Yeah, a little.

I don't know to, he's buff.

I haven't seen him lately,

but he's a big guy.

He's huge. Big and buff.

What is the, not to get into the nitty gritty

with you- Right?

So quickly, but we wanted to know

which Sex in the City character you are.

Oh. Shit. Great nineties show.

You wanna get straight into my soul.

And to be clear it can't be a man.

It can't be a man. No, it cannot be Mr. Big.

I can't say Aidan or Mr. Big?

Definitely not Aidan, you would say Aidan?

Definitely not Aidan?

What Aidan's such a great, he's a golden retriever.

No don't try to no. No, yeah, you're not.

That's my guy.

I know you got some darkness.

He's a flawed retriever, isn't he?

[Simu laughing]

He wants to go to the lake house.

Um. Doesn't have to be.

I'm probably, no, I'm probably, I'm probably Samantha.

Oh, okay. Probably Samantha.

Okay damn.

Or I have, I have been definitely like I've had-

We've all had a ho phase in our life.

A ho phase in our lives.

So are you more of a Charlotte now?

Like a Charlotte or like, maybe, you know, like,

I see, here's the thing,

Carrie gets a lot of hate, right?

Agreed. Carrie gets a lot of hate-

Unfairly I would say unfairly.

And a lot of it, a lot of, some of it fairly.

Okay. She's a very,

but she's a complex character

and she contains multitudes and she-

Period. Also has flaws.

And she also has a lot of, you know,

strengths and she's a good friend.

[Chris laughing]

Yeah. Yeah. So I have elements,

what I'm trying to say is that I've,

there's elements of all four in all of us.

Okay. All right.

What a beautiful-

And Miranda. Miranda's for sure the funniest.

So I think I, there is definitely a bit of me.

Okay.

This guy just copped so hard.

He said all four characters basically.

I know I did. I didn't say Charlotte though.

Charlotte's probably who I'm the least.

I put that one on your jacket.

I put that one on your jacket.

Yeah, you did. You did.

And I flicked it off. I was like, nah, nah.

It's a good political answer. Very diplomatic of you.

Yeah. Yeah, I could tell.

Consider running for parliament or whatever

you have you for you.

For parliament. Nice. Yeah.

Local office in Rosedale.

The house of the house of Commons. Rosedale.

Okay. Let's go back to the nineties.

Okay. A look that

you may have regretted.

A look that I may have regretted?

That you wore and regret. In the nineties?

Yeah. Oh.

We don't want to,

we want to bring back the denim tuxedo.

What's something that you're wearing

that we don't want to bring back?

I wore when I was three, I was born in China,

so when I was, when I was three years old,

my cousin had a beautiful white dress

that I was obsessed with

and I really, really wanted to put it on.

And I don't regret trying it-

Sure.

Because it was a beautiful dress, but it just,

it just didn't work on me, but the photo exists.

Well that's why we have tailoring.

It was really brave of you. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, you're so welcome.

Have fun tonight. We'll see you upstairs.

It was a pleasure.

Pleasure. Thanks for talking to us, my friend.

Thanks have a good one.

You too. Damn I really did cop out.

[upbeat music]

You've been killing it on the runways lately.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Of course. What's your favorite look you've worn recently?

I wouldn't say it's really recent,

but I did a Jill Sanders show not too long ago.

That was my favorite look I've done for sure.

Good taste. Are you ever gonna get into music?

Not probably making music,

but management, that type of side.

Behind the scenes. Yeah.

Yeah. Logistics and execution.

I wanna know your party vibe for tonight.

What's the worst party foul ever?

Worst party foul's probably coming to the party musty.

I think that's pretty, pretty foul.

I think so too. Thank you so much Julez.

So nice to talk to you.

Nice to meet you.

Have a good rest of your party. Hi, hi.

I'm your biggest fan. Nice to meet you.

I love your show. Thank you so much.

SOMBR, the don, good music. Here we go.

Are you ready?

Hi. Hi.

I am your biggest fan ever.

I'm your biggest fan ever.

Aw. No you're not.

Wait I almost sang your song not allowed to do that.

Do it right now.

I can't, be honest,

are you the best dressed person in your friend group?

I think so.

Come on, look at this.

Killing it. What you wearing.

And I have the most snatched waist.

You do.

I'm wearing Tom Ford right now and it's beautiful.

Very chic.

But I'm very stressed about it.

It's good. There's lot of layers.

Don't be stressed. It's perfect.

If I were to press shuffle on your phone right now,

whose songs are gonna come up?

LCD Sound System, the Strokes and D'Angelo.

Period what's a fashion trend you've been,

you've seen from the nineties

that you personally think you can bring back?

You're a trendsetter.

People will follow you. What you gonna bring back?

Oh my God. I would've to say ripped jeans.

I've been like rocking ripped jeans lately

and I like have never worn ripped jeans in my life but-

Do it.

I'm on the way with the ripped jeans win.

It's coming soon. Thank you so much, it's-

Thank you it's so nice to meet you.

Oh my God. So nice to meet you.

Come on my cooking show. I want to.

Okay. Okay.

[Quenlin screaming]

Rachel, babe.

Thank God. Thank god, thank god.

Thank God. Thank God.

Look at Rachel. Look at Rachel, look at Rachel.

Look at Rachel. Look.

You look incredible.

Thank you babes.

You look incredible.

Manifestation is real

because look at us.

Oh my God. We manifested.

This is everything.

You've got a new show. I'm in it.

And what's the craziest part

about having your own show?

Everyone is emailing me all the time.

I'm like, whoa.

It's like,

and then if I don't answer their emails, they text me.

So now text is email for me, which that is, wow.

Work is life and life is work.

Life is work. And life is work.

Yes, if you go back in time

and change one thing about your journey, what would it be?

I think I would do Accutane earlier.

I would do Accutane earlier if I could.

You know about Spironolactone?

It's a small- Yes.

Are you on Spironolactone? Yes.

So I tried Spironolactone, it didn't work for me,

and then I did Accutane.

But I just wish I had known about Accutane earlier

and I wish I did it during COVID.

So you didn't have to go through all that?

All of that. Yeah, in front of everyone.

What's the most LA thing you would do now

that would make New York City Rachel roll her eyes?

I would say, here's the thing, I would say psychics,

'cause I'm like more into psychics here,

but I was kind of into psychics in New York,

so I feel like sound bath.

Okay. But I wanna do a sound bath.

Will you, can we do one?

We need to do a sound bath today.

Okay. I'm down. Yeah.

Are you gonna party tonight?

I'm gonna party tonight.

Yes. I'm gonna party tonight.

So you asked me this a while ago

and I wanna ask you, what's your ideal day in LA?

Ooh. Ideal day in LA. Yes.

Probably wake up, have sex with my boyfriend.

The best thing ever.

The best thing ever, then then like get breakfast

and then maybe like a friend is in town,

we pick her up, we drive her to the beach.

But it's like winter.

So we're all wearing like Uggs and little hoodies.

Yes. And then we all sit

on the beach and then we all have dinner together.

Yes. I wanna join, can we do it?

Yes. Okay.

Yeah, I'll see you out there. Have a great show.

A great party. Okay!

Girl. I'm see, I'm seeing-

Like a great show.

Good party. Them going ad lib rock.

We were recently debating this.

Do you know the ideal selfie angle as a young person?

Yeah. Show us. Show us now.

Point five. Yeah.

Oh, but backside up top.

Up top. Wow.

Yeah. Backside. Backside and up top.

All right, so you're-

Makes your arm look long. I need a long arm.

You're performing for us later,

and I was wondering if you were gonna be

at the piano Miley Cyrus style or if there was anything

we should look forward to.

Do a little Miley for us real quick.

Hmm. No, just guitar.

Okay. Standing up.

Well you can play the piano a little bit, right?

Not really. Not really.

Okay. No piano tonight at all.

Okay, lastly, what are some of your workout tips

for the perfectly average physique?

Because you kind of seem to have nailed it.

Well, I did 10 burpees in the hotel room today,

but that's first time this year.

Okay. Alright. So we're start-

10 per year instead of 10%.

Yeah. Got it.

Something to look forward to.

We're looking forward to it.

Thanks guys.

We'll see you out there my friend.

We'll see you upstairs.

[upbeat music]

I am here with Haley.

Haley. Haley.

Haley Bieber. Hello.

Yes okay, we're gonna start things off

with a serious question. Okay.

If you don't want to answer, you don't have to,

but I'd appreciate if you did.

What's it like having an absolutely lethal face card?

You should know. You would know.

It's hard. You tell me.

It's hard.

It's hard, you know?

Yeah. It's hard.

It's hard being a billion dollar founder.

You're officially now a billion dollar beauty founder.

How can I build my business into a unicorn?

I feel like you're doing a good job already,

I feel like the way that you're building your brand,

I actually talk about this a lot.

I love the way that you're doing everything.

You're building your own personal brand.

The way that you're,

I just saw a photo shoot of you the other day.

You were like laying in a bathroom

and all this stuff was like flying.

Yes. Is that making sense?

Yeah. You're like, no, not really.

But anyways, she was eating it up really crazy.

And I just think the way that you're building everything

is really cool and really effortless and really tea.

Thank you, babe. You're tea.

You're everything.

You've turned dewy skin into a global economy.

What's it like to have skin so gluey, gluey, dewy.

It always looks like you're lit by a ring light.

It always looks like you have, I don't even know what it is,

it's just like a God effect.

Well, like I've said,

looking like a glazed donut is my favorite thing.

So I just try to always keep the skin hydrated and glowing.

You're really big on your skincare too, so I feel you-

Very big. Exactly. Yeah.

So you know.

I have that glazing spray

right at the front of my bathroom.

We need the mist at all times.

ASAP glaze and mist me.

Obviously you have a beautiful baby boy, Jack,

how would you describe his style so far?

I feel like his style is, I just put him in things

that I feel like are cute, but not so overstated.

Yes. I feel like

a lot of baby clothes, it's a lot of print,

it's a lot of animals, it's a lot of things going on.

So I always try to find chill, relaxed sweats

and just big T-shirts and hoodies,

and obviously dad dresses him like himself a lot too.

I live for that moment. He's so cute.

Yes, I lived for that moment. Yes.

I love him to just be comfy.

And now presenting The third

and final part of our mini documentary.

Looking back at 30 years of men's fashion, please enjoy.

[bouncy music]

[Narrator] In the 2010s, style becomes culture.

Instagram launched in 2010, setting the table for a decade

when fashion fully merged with pop culture,

street style became just as important

as what was happening on the runways.

Influencers became celebrities

and celebrities became influencers.

And thanks to visionary designers like Alessandra Kelly,

menswear started to look lighter and more feminine,

no longer defined by rigid concept of masculinity.

In fact, in this new anything goes era,

anyone with a big idea

and access to a screen printer

could become a fashion designer.

Enter Virgil Abloh, the sneaker obsessed outsider

who rose to the highest ranks of luxury fashion

by turning the industry on its head.

In Abloh's world, community was cooler than elitism,

connections as important as classical training

and luxury was about creativity

rather than just craftsmanship.

All of its new energy transformed Paris Fashion Week

from an insider's only showcase

into a star studded Coachella of clothing.

A new generation of fans began following fashion

as they would professional sports.

And at the same time, menswear obsessed Hoopers

turned the NBA tunnels into their own runway shows,

which became just as influential as the real thing.

And when Abloh dropped his watershed

off-white and Nike collaboration,

the ensuing global phenomenon proved

that fashion had become core to modern identity.

Good evening. Good evening. So nice to talk to you.

Absolutely.

One of my favorite designers.

Thank you so much.

Okay. There's a nineties themes tonight.

So what were you wearing in 1995?

And why were you wearing it and where were you wearing it?

Oh my God, I would not even know,

in those days, I lose myself in the nightlife.

Oh, me too.

So I would not know what I would wear.

Me, it's the best way to be.

Dressing some of the most looked at people on the planet

who is your favorite person to dress and why?

Who's my favorite person? My lover.

Oh wow. Yeah.

Great answer. Great answer.

The Tom Ford brand is synonymous with sex. S-E-X.

I've said that you brought sexy back. Thank you so much.

What are your tips for dressing sexy in 2026?

Feeling loved. Being loved.

Feeling embraced. Being embraced, yeah.

Incredible. Last question, and it's super important.

What's the perfect hangover outfit for tomorrow

when we all feel like crap after dancing so hard,

can you break it down for me?

Like head to toe. I'm taking notes.

I'm gonna do it tomorrow.

Keep what you're wearing. Never take it off.

Never take it off.

[Interviewer] That's an amazing watch.

Thanks. Gold Rolex Daytona. Why?

What's special about this watch for you?

I just always wear this when I make music as a,

as a music producer, it just, it's gimme a vibe, you know?

Yeah. Yeah.

[Interviewer] That's for sure.

You mentioned this is your personal watch,

but it's your first time bringing it out

to an event like this.

Why GQ Man of the Year for this watch's debut?

Because you know, we're talking about nineties Hollywood.

It is old school. Classic, elegant.

I think this is the right fit.

[Interviewer] Do you own a bunch of watches?

Like I wonder the Rolex Daytona, it's such a grail watch.

What's your connection to that model?

It's just my personal thing.

[Interviewer] Yeah.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

All right. All right, big dog.

The rumor is you're close to retiring

and we wanna know how much money's in that 401k.

I think retiring, you mean firing.

I don't, I- This is not my choice.

I'm not choosing these words.

I was shown the door. It was a choice.

I'm retiring. It just wasn't yours.

Exactly. Answer the question.

How much money do you have?

I have, I don't have, I don't have Letterman cash.

Okay. That's good distinction.

Speaking of Letterman. Yes.

As you know, when he ended his show,

he grew a big ass beard.

Yeah.

Are you gonna top that when you end

your show with anything else?

No, but I am gonna stop waxing from the neck down.

Okay. Yeah.

That's powerful. That's powerful.

All right, for your GQ shoot that we all loved,

you were in the pool smoking a joint.

You can't prove that that was a joint.

What was was the in Indica? Get a warrant.

Was that Indica or Sativa?

I don't-

Do you know the difference?

I don't know. Well I do know the difference.

Can you spell Sativa?

Because I had eighth grade health class, man.

Okay. I didn't learn.

It's not that bad. Maybe back in the, maybe,

Maybe in the twenties- South Carolina.

Maybe in the twenties in Charleston. It's possible.

Yeah. Okay.

When you're out on the boat what's better?

[Chris laughing]

Go fuck yourself. You could fuck yourself right away.

Retiring. Okay.

1920's.

So now we are not saying this personally.

What huh?

We are not saying this personally.

The prompter is so many people online are also saying this.

Do you like constantly being called a DILF?

Do I like it? Yeah.

And will you use that in future negotiation?

I do it. I crave it. You do the DILF thing.

What? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Doctor, I'd like to fraternize with.

Yeah. Yeah, F word. We can't, yeah.

Alright, so-

You can't, this is live. We can't use bad words?

No, we can say whatever we want.

Okay. All right.

So we have a podcast called How Long Gone.

What is your podcast gonna be called?

Because we know that's what you're doing next.

Only days.

I am not gonna do a podcast.

You're lying.

You cannot, you cannot make me do a podcast.

You can record it from your boat.

There's nothing in the constitution that says

that when you lose your TV show, you have to get a podcast.

Wait till-

Everyone's asked me. I don't have a Substack.

Thank God, good for you. I'm not gonna get a Podcast.

Wait till, wait till Conan O'Brien calls,

got a slot for you at his network.

Consider sports gambling perhaps.

All right, Steve.

Sports gambling? Thank you so much

for taking the time to chat with us.

Don't move because it's gonna look

like I'm gonna angry if I move, I've been told not to leave.

We're gonna keep talking.

Because if I leave before. Wait, hold on now.

I wanna shake your hand.

Why? Why so formal?

We got Dennis Rodman coming in.

If you wouldn't mind- You got the worm.

No, no. We don't have the worm, we don't have the worm.

Don't have the worm?

The worm missed his flight.

Dennis Rodman missed his flight?

I know. It was shocking to everyone.

First time it's ever happened.
