Kim Kardashian was back to her typical feminine roots as she led the star-studded arrivals at GQ’s Men of the Year celebration in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

The reality TV star, 43, sparked controversy for covering the men’s magazine’s special issue — which some branded ‘dumb and super insensitive’ — despite being a female.

Kim brushed off the controversy as she made her way down the red carpet in a racy suede dress that showed off her curves.

The mother-of-four’s frock had a 𝑠e𝑥y low back, a halter neckline and gothic cross-shaped embroidery.

Instead of her signature raven hair, she threw on a long, dirty blonde wig that fell to her waist.

Thursday night’s awards honored a selection of people who have shaped culture, fashion, entertainment and sport in 2023.

Kim was branded Tycoon Of The Year after launching Skims menswear, and posed in an androgynous suit and tie for the cover spread, taking to Instagram to share: ‘Hi! I’m the GQ Man of the Year!’

As well as Kim, Jacob Elordi and rapper Travis Scott landed US covers this year.

Since Kim’s cover was unveiled, GQ has faced online criticism for making a woman one of the ‘Men Of The Year’ cover stars.

Kim is not the first female to cover the annual edition, following on from Rihanna, Megan Thee Stallion, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Aniston and Scarlett Johansson — but this didn’t dissuade naysayers from feeling as though it was ‘taking away from the successful men.’

Kim’s fellow cover star Jacob Elordi seemed unbothered by the online chatter as he arrived at Thursday’s celebration.

The Euphoria star, 26, channeled his recent Elvis portrayal by rocking a boxy black pinstripe jacket, pants and a pastel yellow shirt with a large collar.

The hunk was supported by his on/off girlfriend Olivia Jade — though they walked the red carpet separately.

Jade, 24, put on a busty display as she styled a tiny bralette with an oversized sequin jacket with matching maxi skirt.
