Glen Powell Bulks Up For GQ‘s October Issue

Glen Powell stripped down for GQ‘s October issue—sort of. The heartthrob and beloved actor fronts the magazine’s latest cover—and while he’s down to his Calvin Klein tank and trunks, Powell’s also wearing exaggerated bodybuilder costumes for a dash of his signature goofy humor. A similar ethos can be seen throughout the editorial photographed by Bobby Doherty, where Powell embodies different campy versions of men through the years in a humorous take on traditional masculinity—from the Celsius-chugging bodybuilder to well-dressed politicians with slightly too much Botox. Timed to his upcoming action thriller Running Man and new Hulu series Chad Powers, the star’s feature interview finds him reflecting on the power of vulnerability, failing before reaching success, and his newfound role as an all-American leading man.

“I just find that it’s cool and tough to be open and vulnerable, and maybe that’s just where it comes from with my family, but my family’s all on the table and no one ever judges you for it,” Powell said. “If you’re in Hollywood, I always find it to be very disingenuous when people are driving across town to the Valley in the heat of summer, memorizing two lines, practicing them a thousand times and then acting like they don’t care. The amount of work that it takes, I always find that people that downplay it, which—it’s fine to downplay it, but I’ve never been a guy that can play it cool. I’ll tell you exactly how I’m feeling with all of it. I don’t know any other way to do it.”

Held in Great Jones Alley near her flagship boutique, the show—notably Comey’s first since 2023—embraced a sprit of authenticity with a community of the designer’s longtime friends, supporters, and collaborators across mediums from art to editorial. Models stepped out in an assortment of layered looks taking cues from Comey’s woman on the go, from lightly jewel-toned coats and knits to oversized jackets tied around the waist, slick leather and metallic separates, and elegant silky sets and flowing dresses. Cast in a palette including bright red, bubblegum, burnt orange, and frosty blues and greens, Comey’s collection combined utilitarian style with classic sophistication, creating a wardrobe transferring from work to travel to nights out. For a cheeky touch, the show closed with a happy hour in the alley complete with Primo cocktails and Il Buco Alimentari apps. Chic!
