GQ Awards 2014

It’s the party of the year: tonight Britain’s most brilliant (and best-dressed) are descending on the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden for the annual GQ Men Of The Year Awards in association with Hugo Boss. Now in its 17th year, the ceremony brings together the best in film, music, TV, books, politics and more.

It’s been quite the year for Mrs Kardashian West. She gave birth to her first child, North West, married her rapper boyfriend, Kanye, in one of the most lavish ceremonies on record, and made the transition from ‘just another’ reality TV star to bona fide media sensation. It wouldn’t be wrong to claim that, right now, she’s the most famous woman in the world. Even Obama talks about her. It wouldn’t be wrong, either, to say she’s redefined the meaning of pop culture in the mere space of 12 months.

On winning her award Kim told us, "What a huge honour to win Woman of the Year. It’s so special. I want to thank my husband for making me feel like the Woman of the Year every single day."
