Lewis Hamilton takes the plunge in chest baring blazer as he shows off his bleached hair at GQ Awards... as he receives Sportsman of the Year trophy

Over the last few months he's been making bold moves with his wardrobe choices.

So as Lewis Hamilton took to the red carpet at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards on Tuesday in London it came as no surprise that he made a stand out appearance.

Opting to take the plunge, the 30-year-old F1 champion donned a black brocade chest baring blazer as he continued to show off his bleached mane.

Ditching the dress code, Lewis gave his own unique spin on black tie with his stunning blazer which also featured velvet lapels and embroidered detail. 

Donning a fringed printed scarf made up of images of crowns, Hamilton completed his casual dapper ensemble with black trousers and patent shoes.

Accessorising with diamond earrings, a silver wristwatch and matching bangle, the sports star styled his blond hair in a quiffed mohawk for the event, held in association with Ciroc Vodka.

Meanwhile, Lewis who is an avid social media fan took to Instagram to ask his followers for some advice with regards to celebrating his latest achievement.

Posing with a Mercedes six-wheeler, he asked: 'So.... Thinking about getting this bad boy. What do you think? #6x6benz #mercedesbenz'.

The off-road pick-up truck, which has a military version currently in use by the Australian army, will set Hamilton back an eye-watering £370,000 if he indeed adds it to his vehicle collection.
