The people have voted, and Kanye West is "on a galaxy that haters cannot visit."
On a bracket of 64 style icons that included Tom Ford, Brad Pitt and Idris Elba, GQ's Most Stylish Man Showdown 2015 came down to Yeezy and model Lucky Blue-Smith -- whose Instafans, while vigilant, just couldn't outvote "the almighty power of the Kardashian social media complex," as GQ put it when they announced that West won for the second year in a row.
So really, Kimye might as well be the winner.
West looks good in a tux or hoodie, wears monochromatic tan and layers of camo, and knows how to match big and baggy with skinny and tight. His win is also likely due to West's rising influence in the fashion industry -- he launched his Yeezy line at New York Fashion Week in February and demand for his Yeezy Boost shoes falls just under Air Jordan status in the sneaker stratosphere -- but that Jenner-West social media bump definitely helped. The family's combined reach hits 232 million people just on Instagram alone.
As for the race, it wasn't even close: West got 520,119 votes to Blue-Smith's 445,073 (for what it's worth, we were rooting for Jeff Goldblum).
Here are some of West's best looks from the year.
