HIGHLIGHTS

Celebrating the extraordinary talent of the 2026 BRIT Awards, the annual GQ x Christian Louboutin ‘Music and Style’ dinner took place at The Twenty Two, bringing together key figures across music, fashion, and culture. The evening was hosted by Adam Baidawi, Christian Louboutin, and Jaden Smith, setting the tone for an intimate yet highly curated pre-awards gathering.

This year’s tablescape explored depth, shine, and sculptural form, translating the Louboutin design language into a refined dining experience. Signature Louboutin-red accents appeared through oversized anthuriums and twisted Japanese alliums, layered against rich red-on-burgundy graphics to create a tonal, immersive palette with strong visual impact.

Napkins were hand-calligraphed with ‘Music and Style’ onto silky fabric, forming abstract lines once folded—introducing a subtle artistic gesture at each place setting. Wavy cutlery, crumpled glass tumblers, and hand-bent silver floral vessels added movement and tactility, softening the overall structure while maintaining a contemporary edge.

High-shine silver tones, inspired by Jaden Smith’s FW26 Christian Louboutin debut, were woven throughout the design, enhancing the interplay of light and reflection across the table. Each guest setting was finished with signature lighter holders, gifted as keepsakes, alongside hand-engraved silver plaque place cards - delivering a considered balance of luxury, detail, and brand storytelling.
