While everyone else was either baring their butts or wearing underwear as dresses at the 2019 GQ Men of the Year Awards, there were a few ladies who opted to be on-theme in men’s suits.
Victoria Beckham Goes Monochrome in an Oversized White Suit
One of them was Victoria Beckham, who made for one sharply dressed family alongside her 20-year-old son Brooklyn and husband David Beckham. The mother-of-four looked like the cream filling of an Oreo in an all-white suit from her Victoria Beckham Resort 2020 collection.

We know Victoria prefers an oversized fit when it comes to suits, but we find her pants a tad too relaxed this time. Her pants’ hems dragged behind her when she walked, which must’ve been a nightmare for her dry cleaners to get white again.
Though we don’t have full views of Victoria’s black satin pumps, she likely wore her own ‘VB’ 90mm pumps to complete her all–Victoria Beckham label ensemble.

Winnie Harlow Mixes Menswear With Feminine Details
Another suited attendee was Winnie Harlow, who stepped on the red carpet in a Prada fall 2019 menswear double-breasted blazer and slim pants.
The 25-year-old model added feminine touches with a safety-pinned red heart brooch, a corset, and black leather belts cinching her tiny waist.

With bling coming from the crystal buckles on her Roger Vivier black satin pumps and Cartier jewelry, we find the ring-handle crystal-fringe handbag unnecessary.
The lower-heeled version of Winnie’s Roger Vivier flower-strass-buckle pumps is available for $1,750 at Nordstrom and Farfetch.
