On November 16, rapstress Megan Thee Stallion – who once shared screen time with Normani aboard the ‘Birds of Prey’ hit ‘Diamonds‘ – shined on the red carpet of the 28th annual GQ ‘Men of the Year’ party (also in Los Angeles). The event assembled some of the year’s biggest stars to toast the event’s 2024’s honorees Kim Kardashian, Jacob Elordi, Travis Scott, and Tom Ford.

The GRAMMY-winning Hip-Hop diva attended the function beside big names like her ‘Sweetest Pie‘ co-star Dua Lipa, John Legend, Megan Thee Stallion, Dwyane Wade, Offset, Jeezy, Jordyn Woods, Chloe Bailey, and others.
