If you’re wanting to copy anyone’s style, then this is the guy to follow.
We have a tough time thinking of a man more worthy of winning this award than John Legend, as the perma-charming husband of Chrissy Teigen is always impeccably decked out for any public appearance you ever see him at.
At the GQ 2018 Awards in London on Wednesday evening, Legend took the stage to accept the award and spoke about where his stylish nature came from:
“I grew up in a small mid-western town in the US called Springfield, Ohio. I never envisioned that I might be here, now. Both of my parents were part-time tailors, and they made us clothes from time to time.
“They made us cowboy outfits, they made us school uniforms. And they made us suits that we wore to church.
“If we looked really good in our suits, they’d say we looked good, or we looked sharp, but the highest compliment that they could pay was that we looked GQ!”
