House of the Dragon star Emma D'Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen) may not seem like a "GQ Man of the Year", but the magazine has actually removed gender as a qualification for the honorific. While Rhaenyra is a decidedly female character on the show, D'Arcy identifies as non-binary, but that's not what prompted inclusion on what is traditionally a list of male actors, athletes, musicians, politicians, etc. The list includes a number of women this time.
The complete list of 2022 honorees is below. Check out the full article for more info on what got each of them on the list. GQ is set to begin revealing their eight Men of the Year cover stars this week.
