At the 2014 'GQ' Men of the Year Awards, Kim Kardashian, Cara Delevingne, and More Proved Ladies Rule in Slinky, Sexy Dresses

Blame it on their pretty dresses, glamorous hair and makeup, and fabulous shoes, but Hollywood's ladies get the lion's share of attention on practically any red carpet. And even at events and awards shows designed with men in mind (such as Spike's Guys Choice Awards and Tuesday night's annual GQ Men of the Year Awards), the women manage to steal all the spotlight. Sure, guys like Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, and Colin Firth were in attendance at this year's GQ event, but there's no doubt in anyone's mind — probably not even these famous guys' minds — that all the attention was on the ladies. Click through to see each and every undeniably sexy look that stole the show.

Kim Kardashian

These days, you could hardly recognize Mrs. West in an outfit without a leather bodice, lots of cleavage, and a sheer something. So naturally, she was right at home in this sultry Ralph & Russo Couture gown.

Cara Delevingne

Going for a goth-glam look in a Burberry Prorsum gown, the supermodel wasn’t afraid to show a little (or, you know, a lot of) skin.

Lindsay Lohan

Even with that dangerously high slit, let’s call this zebra-print Balmain number a win, shall we?

Pippa Middleton

In what was perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening, the royal sister herself made an appearance at this year’s event, looking polished (but undeniably gorgeous) in her sequined BOSS dress.

Rita Ora

Sparkly, sexy, and figure-flattering are basically requirements for Rita Ora’s red carpet looks, and this Zuhair Murad Couture gown gets it right on all counts.

Nicole Scherzinger

Simple and sweet was the name of the game for the singer, who looked lovely in her strapless Ermanno Scervino gown.

Jourdan Dunn

Going all Rihanna on us in a practically sheer Zuhair Murad Couture gown, the model looked smoking hot, but still elegant in her curve-hugging black number.

Natalie Dormer

A lot of leg and a little cleavage combined for a total style win in this Emilio Pucci mini.

Ellie Goulding

The look itself isn’t surprising — we’ve seen the singer in something similar on occasion — but that doesn’t stop her from looking radiant in this lace-and-ruffled Ermanno Scervino gown.

Jessie J

This rich color was practically made for the singer (and the daringly low neckline and high slit on this vintage Jean Paul Gaultier number don’t look too bad either).

Jenna Coleman

Coleman kept it mod but charming in her Saint Laurent shift dress and not-your-average black heels.
