At the first annual GQ Global Creativity Awards, Tim Cook, Donald Glover, Hoyeon, and the rest of the 2023 honorees took the stage to toast the power of collective creativity. Naturally, we had to continue the celebration at an afterparty, presented by Calvin Klein. As DJ Acyde kicked up the sonics at WSA, Tim Cook and fellow GCA honoree Grace Wales Bonner had a table-side chat. Hungry revelers bounced back and forth between the bar and a colossal shrimp tower, while Steve Lacey lounged near a freshly-installed Gaetano Pesce sculpture. Nobody was sitting down, though, for the surprise performance by Memphis rap sensation GloRilla, whose late-night set had the windows of WSA shaking. See how it all went down below.
