Linux/GNOME (and any other Linux DE based on GTK):
Use the QGtkStyle theme:

It's a theme for Qt that *uses* GTK to render, therefore
actually being native. (I've never actually used it though,
since I think native GTK/GNOME/etc looks visually awful
regardless of theme. And those file dialogs, ugh! Wish I could
nuke those from my entire system.)
Well I'll disagree in that I much prefer the look of GTK 3 over
Qt5, at least as I've seen it in KDE but that's a personal
opinion. I run a Gnome/GTK3 environment so I avoid Qt apps as
much as possible.
Note that an equivalent of QGtkStyle which goes the other way
(rendering GTK programs using Qt) is no longer possible since
GTK recently eliminated non-CSS themes (in a point release, no
less).
I think this uses Gtk2 though and not Gtk3, there are some
differences in how Gtk2 renders versus Gtk3 so it won't be
completely seamless.
Therefore, Qt *is* the absolute winner here. It's basically
native everywhere. GTK isn't, and without a major policy
reversal, cannot be.
Even though I love Gtk I will agree with this, for cross platform
work Qt is a better option then Gtk, just too bad about the lack
of bindings.
