The Manchester United and England midfielder made a striking entrance at the GQ Men of the Year event, channeling his inner supervillain. His outfit featured a sleek, high-shine black leather two-piece set, comprising a shirt-style jacket paired with coordinating wide-leg trousers.

Continuing Hollywood’s trend of challenging traditional shirt styles, Mainoo paired a white vest beneath his shirt and completed the look with a pair of the brand’s signature intrecciato leather shoes.

While dressing entirely in one color can sometimes risk appearing off-balance, Mainoo expertly avoided this by incorporating varying textures to keep the look dynamic.

Just as with his on-field passing, his outfit remained sleek and sophisticated, thanks to the subtle shine of the leather and the intricate woven design of his shoes.

The 19-year-old Mainoo, celebrating alongside his England teammate Cole Palmer—who sported a Burberry outfit—joined fellow Men of the Year honorees like Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Central Cee to pay tribute to this year’s standout stars at the GQ Men of the Year event at London’s Roof Gardens.
