Other honorees included actor James Norton, singer Liam Gallagher, rapper Stormzy, mayor of London Sadiq Khan and football star Pele.

AceShowbiz - This year's GQ Men of the Year Awards saw a number of biggest names in fashion, sports, politics and entertainment industry. They came together at the Tate Modern on Tuesday evening, September 5 to celebrate the achievements of some of their most exemplary peers at the prestigious event, which was hosted by Mark Strong.

Former member of One Direction, Zayn Malik, was named the Most Stylish Man in Britain by the magazine. However, he couldn't attend the event to personally receive the award. Model Selah Marley accepted it on his behalf.

Mark Hamill stole the night as he was honored with Icon Award for his huge contribution to cinema. The actor has been known for his role as Luke Skywalker in sci-fi saga "Star Wars" since 1977. The award was handed by his co-star and comic genius Simon Pegg.

Mark's fellow actor Jared Leto was also among winners at the event. He was named Actor of the Year by GQ. Sporting a plaid Gucci suit, the Joker depicter in "Suicide Squad" took the stage to accept the trophy and deliver a brief speech. He jokingly said he was going to make his speech quick because he had "to piss like a f**king race horse."

The former frontman of Oasis, Liam Gallagher, walked away with Rock 'n Roll Star Award that night, while rapper Stormzy brought home Solo Artist Award. Football stars Pele and Sir Geoff Hurst were also among the honorees. Pele, who nabbed Inspiration Award, later took to Twitter to express his gratitude. "Thank you @BritishGQ for tonight's award," he wrote. "Football gave me the opportunity to inspire the world. It's what I have tried to do my entire life."

Sir Geoff Hurst, who collected Legend prize, said during his acceptance speech, "It seems quite unusual that you only get called a legend when you're well over 70." He added, "I had the opportunity to take two of my grandchildren to school about three or four weeks ago and the word legend came up. George is 11 and Grace is 8 and George said, 'Grandpa is a legend,' and Grace chipped in by saying, 'I thought all legends were dead.' "
