Ruby Rose has taken home GQ's Woman of the Year Award, an ironic award given the actress doesn't identify strictly as a woman.
Wearing a black catsuit, the model walked the awards carpet with her fiance Phoebe Dahl and a very special guest, her mum. "Mum is sponsored by ChivasRegal," she joked.
The Australian actress revealed to Elle earlier this year that she labels herself "gender fluid".
"Gender fluidity is not really feeling like you're at one end of the spectrum or the other," she said.
"For the most part, I definitely don't identify as any gender."
She created a video Break Free, explaining the concept of gender fluidity in 2014.
As Orange is the New Black's hottest new inmate, she unleashed a torrent of straight women declaring on social media that they would "go gay for Ruby Rose".
A Jezebel article slammed the hashtags for suggesting that sexuality is choice.
"My sense is definitely more lighthearted and neutral on it," Rose told The Huffington Post.
"I feel like we have gone so far in the direction of being more all-encompassing and being more supportive of one another.
Rose admitted she had "mixed feelings" about her award because she feels no one supported her journey until she became a household name.
She said: "I have mixed feelings about that, because I really think that people underestimate you.
"There are so many talented people who worked really hard within Australia, they work their butt off and they don't get the credit that they deserve and they don't get the awards that they should get, and they don't get the (magazine) covers they deserve because we wait as a country, we wait for them to make it big overseas and I don't necessarily agree with that."

However, Rose has admitted she's been left overwhelmed by the support she's received from her Australian fans and is enjoying the "tumultuous ride".
She added to News.com.au: "I've had this huge resurgence in Australia and I love that and I love people loving me here again, because it's been a tumultuous ride."
