WITH HIS SHARP suits and granda glasses, we always believed Conor McGregor was a style icon – but GQ has confirmed it.
The Dublin-born fighter has posed for the cover of the Spring issue of GQ Style, the fashion offshoot of the men’s magazine.
It’s a more casual look for the fighter – he usually favours mustard Gucci turtlenecks and Jimmy Choo loafers – but good, right?
Of course, the interview inside is something to behold – a writer followed McGregor as he shopped in Los Angeles, dropping a casual $27,000 (€25,589) in Dolce & Gabbana:
He went for coffee, to give the store time to pack up all the things he just bought. “That’s a common occurrence for me nowadays,” he says. His handlers and his friends have grown used to the waiting. Spending that much money, they’ve learned, requires patience.
However, he’s soon riled when the staff call up to say they’ve forgotten to add a pocket square to the bill, and ask to run his card through again:
“I’m dropping $27,000. It’s about my eighth time in the last week. And you can’t drop, like, a pocket square in? Are you f**king serious?” He’s not looking for anything for free, he says. Just a measure of respect.
Just the kind of talk we’ve come to expect from McGregor these days, TBH. You can read the full interview here.
