For Ewan Mitchell, a red carpet fit is “a lovely challenge”

Ewan Mitchell doesn't really have a skincare routine . In fact, up until about six or seven months ago, he wasn't even that big on moisturiser . “It's never been something that I've really comprehended until my groomer called me out about it when I started touring for House of the Dragon ,” he says from the Baglioni hotel in London .

But tonight is different. Because tonight, he's been named as an honouree of GQ 's Men of the Year . And for an evening as special as this, the British actor's going all in on the skincare.

When you're sitting amongst industry greats like Adrien Brody , Jude Law , and Nicole Kidman , the bar is high. When the Saltburn actor's just chilling at home, he likes to keep things comfy. He's like tracksuits .

He likes band merch. He likes film merch. You know, the nice and normal stuff that nice and normal dudes like to wear.

But when he's at a big event, he likes to switch things up a bit. “When I step on a red carpet, it's a lovely challenge to kind of figure out if I can actually pull off a look or not,” he says. “And I really like keeping an element of mystery.

So the more I can push it in one direction, the less I give away, right?” For GQ Men of the Year 2024 , Mitchell is wearing Dior. It's a look that he and his stylist, Davey Sutton, have been cooking up for a while. “This outfit embodies classic and timeless elegance, yet carries a distinctive edge,” Sutton says.

“In essence, it perfectly reflects what Ewan is known for.” An.
