Build Your Perfect Fragrance Rotation

6 days ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Amina Kaabi

Your scent deserves the same consideration as your wardrobe, your music taste, or the way you show up in a room. A signature fragrance? Sure. But rotation is where the real story lives. One fragrance isn’t enough. Your scent rotation should match your mood. You want something for slow Sundays and sharp Mondays, something that works whether you're at brunch, at the gym, or catching golden hour on a rooftop. From warm leather vibes to clean musky skinners, these 15 picks cover the full range.
The Best Luggage on Amazon Is Better Than You Think

1 week ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Dean Stattmann

We’ve all been there: You labor over assembling the perfect travel fit, only to dust off your ancient Samsonite hardshell, catch yourself in the mirror on your way out, and sigh at the realisation that everything is ruined. Well, guess what? It’s time to start paying your luggage the same kind of attention you give your clothes. For one, the moment you leave the house, that bag may as well be part of your outfit.
Inside Last Night’s GQ Middle East’s Party Hosted by Amine Jreissati at Rialto

1 week ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Amina Kaabi

On a surprisingly breezy May night in Dubai, GQ Middle East made quite the statement: this is how you throw a party. The venue? Rialto– Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab’s newest jewel and arguably the most photogenic Italian restaurant in the city. The guest list brought together the region’s fashion designers, creatives, and tastemakers. Rialto, if you haven’t been (yet), is pure Italian drama.
Met Gala 2025 - The Best Dressed Celebrities List Is Here

1 week ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Keanoush Zargham

The 2025 Met Gala just lit up the steps of the Met, and the fashion? Anything but subtle. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” puts Black menswear in the spotlight — think sharp cuts, bold statements, and no shortage of swagger. The dress code, “Tailored For You,” gave guests a carte-blanche to go custom, and they delivered: some kept it classic, others went full spectacle.
Editor's Letter: The Punch and the Pulse

1 week ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Amine Jreissati

The world’s attention is shifting. Not subtly, not quietly, but with the force of a left hook. And more often than not, that punch is landing in Saudi Arabia. Boxing has long been the sport of the underdog, the outsider, the fighter who’s had to claw their way to the top. And in many ways, that makes it the perfect metaphor for what’s happening in the Kingdom. There’s something poetic about a nation that’s rewriting its global image, one jab, one step, one round at a time.
19 Coldest Met Gala Wrist Checks of All Time

1 week ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Ollie Cox

The Met Gala is the party of all fashion parties. It coaxes the biggest designers, actors, musicians, athletes and other very famous people into the same place at the same time. Naturally, this paves the way for mega fits. Like when A$AP Rocky wore a kilt and four Gucci belts in 2023, or Marc Jacobs's 2021 sheer dress look. It’s also pretty strong on the watch front, with the best-dressed stars often rocking their holiest of grails for the occasion.
Inside Onitsuka Tiger's 53-year plan to become your favourite sneaker

In 1972, Bruce Lee began filming on what would be one his last films: Game of Death. The actor’s flipping, kicking, nunchaku-wielding character Hai Tien steps on screen in what is still one of the most recognisable costumes ever: a jumpsuit the colour of a New York taxi cab and, in the same shade, a pair of Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 sneakers. 30 years later, director Quentin Tarantino dipped into the same archives of martial arts iconography for Kill Bill: Volume One.
5 of the Coolest Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunks in F1

1 week ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Amina Kaabi

In Formula 1, the margins have always been thin and the stakes are always obscene. In recent years, it has also become a stage for design and spectacle. Nowhere is that more evident than in the way trophies are presented. They’ve become part of the show, especially now that Louis Vuitton is involved. We can’t deny that it brings a different kind of prestige to the sport.
16 Rare Watches You’ve Probably Never Seen Before, Selected by Experts

1 week ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Vivian Morelli

A trend seems to be catching on where more and more celebrities are flaunting one-of-a-kind, rare watches. George Clooney was at it last week, flashing a rare Omega De Ville – while recently Will Smith has been spotting wearing some rare, certainly unusual pieces like an over-the-top platinum Patek Philippe. Naturally, anything out of the ordinary tends to get the internet into a frenzy, and rare watches are no different. Why, though?
What if a T-Shirt Could Teach You How to Live Better?

1 week ago | gqmiddleeast.com | Amina Kaabi

It’s not hard to see why the world is so obsessed with luxury. We’ve been conditioned to recognise its markers: the quality, meticulous craftsmanship, attention to detail. These are the trappings of a world that insists on certain things being better than others. Rami Helali, the founder of Kotn, wants the world to reframe that obsession, to still ask what luxury is, but also where it comes from.
