The dress code for Tuesday's GQ Men Of The Year Awards said smart, but it appears Russell Brand didn't get the memo.
The British comedian brought his own unique sense of style to Los Angeles for the annual glitzy bash, which was attended a host of A-list stars dressed in their finery.
While skinny black jeans, waistcoat, white t-shirt and black jacket may be Russell's version of smart, the other male celebrities in attendance at the Chateau Marmont bash were suited and booted.
The comedian and Jonathan Ross caused a furore when they made obscene phonecalls to former Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs, 78, about his grand-daughter Georgina Baillie, who had had a brief relationship with Brand.
The phonecalls were then broadcast on Brand's Radio 2 show, prompting a wave of complaints from the public.
Brand has been touring America doing stand-up shows since the scandal broke, and is due to start work on a Hollywood adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest alongside Dame Judi Dench in Hawaii.
Dressed in a blue shirt and black suit, a formal-looking DiCaprio, 34, was honoured with the 'Leading Man' accolade for his upcoming role in Revolutionary Road, which sees him reunite with Titanic co-star Kate Winslet.
Erin Brockovich star Aaron Eckhart, 40, looked suitably dappers in a black suit aswell.
Eckhart was honoured with the 'Villain of the Year' trophy for his portrayal of Two-Face in the latest Batman movie The Dark Knight.
Fox, 22, who was the only female winner at the awards, showed off her curves and long legs in a strapless pink dress.
She was joined by fiancé Brian Austin Green - who played David Silver in the original Beverly Hills, 90210, silencing recent rumours that they had split.
Fox was named GQ's 'Obsession of the Year' for her popularity amongst male readers of the magazine.
M.I.A., real name Mathangi Arulpragasam, and New York band MGMT shared the 'Radio Gods' trophy for their latest music releases.
MGMT supported M.I.A. during her U.S. tour this year.
Other Hollywood beauties bringing a touch of femininity to the awards included Sin City actress Jaime King in a grey two-tone dress and former supermodel Amber Valletta experimented in a Stella McCartney sequinned jumpsuit.
He said: 'I'm trying to take after Leo.'
Among the winners of the GQ Men Of The Year awards included U.S. President-elect Barack Obama as 'Game Changer', Man Men star Jon Hamm as the 'Breakout of the Year' and Sean Penn as 'Drama Queen'.
One of the most unflattering gongs of the evening was 'Pr*ck of the Year' for Gordon Ramsay, who, unsurprisingly, didn't turn up to accept his honour.
He was accompanied by Natalya Rudakova, his co-star in the upcoming sequel Transporter 3.
Also honoured were U.S. Olympian Michael Phelps as 'Golden Boy', James Franco as 'Screen Idol' and John Malkovich as 'Mad Genius'.
