Winners on the night, who were deemed to be the epitome of ‘personal style’, consisted of five reader-voted winners and the balance selected from a panel of judges involving GQ's editors and past winners.

Explaining what it takes to make the GQ Best Dressed list, GQ editor-in-chief Molife Kumona said: “Tonight’s winners not only exemplify and own their particular personal style, but they have each demonstrated how when life throws challenges, at them, they have what it takes to rise above circumstances and continue to put their best foot forward – inside and out. We are delighted to celebrate them and this occasion and hope that it in doing so, their stylish cachet can be shared with South Africans everywhere.”
