GQ’s 25 Most Stylish Men in the World

Russell Brand? Seriously?
Russell Brand? Seriously?

Here they are, with yays or nays from us.

25. Robert Pattinson – Nay
24. Andre 3000 – Yay
23. Russell Brand – That’s a joke right?  He looks like a cross between The Fonz and a ball of Rasputin’s pubic hair.
22. Tom Brady – Yay, but sometimes he forces it.
21. Ryan Gosling – Who?
20. Paul Simonon from the Clash – Yay.  Rock Star.
19. L.A. Reid, Head of Island Def Jam – Yay
18. Spike Jonze – Sure
17. David Byrne – See Ryan Gosling
16. Fiat Heir Lapo Elkann – Nay.
15. David Beckham – Yay.  More so than his bone thin wife.
14. Ichiro Suzuki – Any wonder a guy who knows the power of a single, understands an understated suit?  Yay.
13. Daniel Day Lewis – Gets a little weird at times, but… it works.  For him.  Yay.
12. Clint Eastwood – Yay.  Absolutely.

LeBron? Yes. And stop looking at his lemonade.
LeBron? Yes.

11. Pharrell Williams – Yay.  And he got his tattoos lasered off.  David Beckham, take note.
10. Cristiano Ronaldo – Nay.  Narcissism is never stylish.
9. Pete Doherty – Nay.  Neither is doing blow.
8. LeBron James – Yay.  Couldn’t agree more.  The guy looks amazing.
7. Ed Westwick – Mneh.
6. Brad Pitt – Yay.
5. Justin Townes Earle – Again… who?
4. Jude Law – He of the deep v-neck man cleavage tee?  No.  Nay.  Nope.
3. Jay Z – Yay.  He has claimed to have 99 problems but style nor a bitch, appears to be one of them.  Or… something.
2. Johnny Depp – Yay.  Because he’s the only one that can pull off looking like him.  He’s two whiskeys and a thrift store away from looking like Mickey Rourke.  But at the same time, he doesn’t.
1. Anderson Cooper – Whoa!  A surprise at the end.  Great choice.  Yay.

  1. David Byrne of the Talking Heads. Rock star. He who famously wore the big suit and proceeded to make a movie about it? I think he makes the cut.

  3. I’ve come back from the wilderness. Just in time, apparently, because you need to know and love Ryan Gosling. He starred in what I think is the best film of the last decade (The Believer) and also starred in the best film of 2006, Half Nelson.

    Other than that, he hasn’t done much to put him in the limelight so it’s not a cardinal sin that you don’t know him … yet.

  5. Between 25 – 54. How’s that? And although I could tell you what is, and what isn’t a Talking Heads Song, I couldn’t have given you their frontman’s name. Blame it on my listening to the harder rock while growing up. We all have things that slip through the cracks, that others are surprised we don’t “know.” David Byrne is one of mine. Not ashamed of it. And I got plenty more.
