GQ's 50 best-dressed men 2018
It's the list they've all been waiting for. From effortless Hollywood topliners to the neon-bright hitmakers and designers who serve as their own best advertisements, this is the only countdown that counts. Allow us to introduce this year's style-statement men of distinction
The following feature is GQ's archive best-dressed list for 2018. Our most recent style ranking is The 50 best-dressed men of 2020
As you might expect, there's a great deal of conversational throw down on British GQ's editorial shop floor. When it comes to debate, and encouraging dissident voices to clash, challenge and hold forth with strong, intelligent opinion, I like to think I am pretty democratic. (So long as the team knows the Editor is always right.) It's all moderately civil, you understand, although not that one time when luxury Italian brand Brioni enlisted Metallica for their advertising campaign - people really lost minds over that. Here are just some of things I overheard while putting GQ's annual Best-Dressed Men list together: "Seriously, we have reached peak rollneck"; "Who, apart from Bill, would pay $17.8 million for Paul Newman's original Rolex Daytona?"; "Yes, I know who Blondey McCoy is, but what does he do exactly?"; "Just because it has doodles on it doesn't make it cool, Jonathan"; "Can you smoke patchouli?" You get the idea. Conversation is, generally, a cross between a TED Talk greenroom and a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" with Malcom Gladwell and Elon Musk. But we do take style incredibly seriously. And why not? You do, too. Of all the arguments that rage on the subject, the one that generates the greatest number of accusatory fingers pointed is who we will hail as Britain's Best-Dressed Man. Should it be Skepta? A man who has done more for brooch wearers in 2017 than the Queen. Or what about Rafferty Law, Jude's son, a man who's fast become a Talented Mr Ripley for Gen Y-ers - just with more skateboard. In the end, there could only be one winner: huge congratulations to British actor Matt Smith. A more original winner you're unlikely to meet. You might not agree with our choice. You might think we picked Mr Smith so we could proclaim "Crowned!" (get it?) on the cover of this January double issue. But then you'd be wrong. After all, were you not listening before? The Editor's decision is final.

Rex/Shutterstock1/50(New entry)"Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall of The Chainsmokers are quintessential American musicians with a cool and youthful style." Tommy Hilfiger, fashion designer
GQ says: We wouldn't necessarily endorse chain-smoking, but this band's style? Absolutely.
Rex/Shutterstock2/50(New entry)"Since 21-year-old Rafferty Law made his catwalk debut in 2014 with DKNY, he's been a mainstay at London Fashion Week Men's. Law rocks athleisure like no one else: from dark slouchy bomber jackets and embroidered hoodies to khaki-coloured baggy trousers and oversized denim. With 34,000 Instagram followers and counting, as well as his new creative collective, Something To Hate On, Law is making waves far beyond fashion. Jude who?" *Eleanor Halls, Staff Writer, GQ *
GQ says: The British rapper/fashion guru is well on his way to national treasure status.
Getty Images3/50(Last year no. 42)"One of those annoyingly charming men, who holds many different roles [actor, model, presenter, producer], at 46, Hu Bing maintains the air of a Thirties film star, with his tall build working perfectly in tailoring. One word of warning, whoever stands next to him better be on top form." Dean Gomilsek-Cole, designer, Turnbull & Asser
GQ says: Bing is now a regular on the UK style scene thanks to his role as an ambassador for London Fashion Week Men's - and with solid fashion choices like this,
Rex/Shutterstock4/50(New entry)"Because he was never into the 'glam' thing, Gary Oldman represents the pure essence of sober British style. He's an expert at mixing vintage tailoring with contemporary collections, such as the last Paul Smith collection. His punk roots have evolved into a new bohemian look, meaning he looks as comfortable in bespoke tailoring and shiny brogues as he does in a studded leather jacket and Dr Martens. It's a state of mind that he projects. Above all, I appreciate how he uses accessories - he is a master when it comes to scarves and ties." Laura Pacelli, Senior Editor, Italian GQ
GQ says: Oldman is one of the highest-grossing A-list actors of all time - and still one of the most stylish. He was also a good friend of David Bowie.
Getty Images5/50(New entry)"He is simply the chicest man I know." Kim Jones, designer, Louis Vuitton
GQ says: Stefano Pilati's been keeping quiet since he stepped down as creative director of Ermenegildo Zegna last year, but his superb style still shouts loudly when he is seen out and about at events.
Splash News6/50(New entry)"After a long time appearing in perfectly nice suits on the red carpet, this year Jonah Hill suddenly came into his own. The tailoring was swapped out for relaxed-fit streetwear: loose chinos and T-shirts worn with varsity jackets, baseball caps and Vans. He grew out his beard; he slicked back his hair; he became the spokesman for achingly cool skatewear brand Palace. How did this happen? How did Jonah Hill become the coolest bro in LA? We have no idea, but we applaud him." Nick Carvell, Associate Style Editor, GQ
GQ says: In a world of stiff red-carpet suiting, Hill is Hollywood's poster boy for cool, sleek, relaxed-fit sportswear.
Getty Images7/50(New entry)"The thing about Wiz Khalifa is he is just so damn cool. He has his own vibe that just kills me. He could wear a bin bag and look good." Luke Day, Editor, GQ Style
GQ says: The rapper is perhaps most famous for buttoning his shirt dangerously low - and, considering the current Seventies revival, we're digging it.
Rex/Shutterstock8/50(New entry)"It's rare to be able to pinpoint somebody who's single-handedly inspired an entire menswear fanboy movement. Enter Demna Gvasalia: the designer behind cult brand Vetements and now Balenciaga who is the lodestar for anyone looking to copy the sportswear-inspired Soviet style the designer has made his signature." Nick Carvell
GQ says: From his Bernie Sanders-inspired collection for Balenciaga to his personal style, Gvasalia isn't just in tune with the menswear pulse, he's dictating it.
Getty Images9/50(New entry)"A class act, from the tennis court to his wardrobe." Charlie Burton, Senior Commissioning Editor, GQ
GQ says: The rock star of the tennis world has a wardrobe game as impressive as his performance on the court.
Getty Images10/50(New entry)"This man bosses his clothes so well you hardly notice he's carrying a violin - apart from when he's playing it. One of the UK's most exciting classical musicians, Charlie has performed with everyone from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to The Who to Miley Cyrus, all while maintaining his own solid sense of style: think sharp, well-cut suits, high-waisted chinos and round-neck T-shirts, usually accompanied by a wide-legged stance. Oh, and a violin." Becky Lucas, Insight And Strategy Editor, GQ
GQ says: The English violinist's fans include Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, not to mention Dolce & Gabbana, Dior and Boss, who've all dressed him.
Rex/Shutterstock11/50(New entry)"Meeting Aziz for the first time earlier this year, I was struck by how his confidence gives him the ability to mix patterns, textures and colours in such interesting ways." Sir Paul Smith, fashion designer
GQ says: The star of Master Of None always makes us laugh - but never about what he's wearing.
Getty Images12/50(New entry)"I love his low-key, logo-free tracksuits and basics." Stephen Webster, jewellery designer
GQ says: Whether he's wearing a luxury bomber or a two-piece suit, Stormzy always does it right.
Getty Images13/50(Last year no. 2)"I think Eddie has a sense of effortless elegance in every occasion, formal and casual." Stefano Gaudioso, global style director, Corneliani
GQ says: If they gave out Oscars for wearing bold suits on the red carpet, this guy would be the Meryl Streep of superb tailoring.
John Balsom14/50(Re-entry)"Cillian's roles are so sartorially savvy that I think a lot has rubbed off on his day-to-day attire. He wears clothes cleverly and elegantly." Daniel Kearns, designer, Kent & Curwen
GQ says: Considering he's the star of Peaky Blinders and Dunkirk, both set in the early 20th century, his style is distinctly right now.
Rex/Shutterstock15/50(New entry)"He might have had to keep his hair long for his role in Hamilton, but since leaving the cast, he's had a full-on style transformation. Not only does he look super-slick since he chopped off his ponytail (man-bun, be gone), he's also invested in a new wardrobe of slim suits, cool bombers and the occasional corduroy blazer. Bravo, sir." Nick Carvell, Associate Style Editor, GQ
GQ says: The man behind Hamilton will soon be bringing his laid-back style to London as his show transfers to our side of the Atlantic.
Getty Images16/50(Last year no. 25)"Always elegant and graceful, David is consistent in his style. He knows his personal taste but isn't afraid to experiment. I also think his humility and authentic personality shines through in the way he carries himself." Jonathan Daniel Pryce, photographer "My nomination would go to David Furnish. He is always impeccably dressed, from a classically tailored Savile Row suit to European designer labels, black tie to casual. He constantly creates an effortless look to suit the occasion." Robert Tateossian, jewellery designer
GQ says: The latest London Fashion Week Men's ambassador has had a strong start in his new gig, repping a series of bold tux blazers over the past year.
Getty Images17/50(New entry)"In his uniform of bespoke black suit and unbuttoned shirt, a look born from the same gothic imagination as his soul-stirring lyrics, Nick Cave is his own best advert. Ordered mostly from Chris Kerr on Berwick Street, Soho, this is a wardrobe that exceeds in nuance what it lacks in colour. The cowboy belts, forward-point collars, Chelsea boots and carefully cut flares are the work of a man, and his tailor, undictated to by trend. After all, wherever Cave goes, he leads."
GQ says: Thirty-eight years into his career and the Bad Seeds frontman's white shirt and black suit combo is as fresh as ever. We dig (Lazarus, Dig) it.
Getty Images18/50(Last year no. 6)"Grimmy is the perfect example of someone who wears clothes to match his personality. He's carefree, chilled and approachable. He's confident not arrogant and does his own thing as opposed to running round town looking like an idiot and trying to fit in. Ain't nobody got time for that." Elgar Johnson, Fashion Director, GQ Style
GQ says: Considering his excellent wardrobe, it's a shame he's on the radio.
Getty Images19/50(New entry)"The Norwegian literary sensation has a style - tortured-writer-turned-father-of-four dishevelment - that verges on reckless abandon. But the tattered denim, Cruella de Vil hair and perpetual cigarette all enrich a grubby elegance that's authentic to the core. Add in the air of success afforded to someone published in 22 languages and you've got a style (and author) for the ages." Alfie Baldwin, Associate Picture Editor, GQ
GQ says: He brings pared-back Scandi style to every event.
Tomo Brejc20/50(Last year no. 35)"Jack's style is quintessentially British - good humoured, charming and full of character much like the man himself." Ingo Wilts, chief brand officer, Hugo Boss
GQ says: Owner of not only one of the sleekest wardrobes in the land, but also one of the sleekest beards.
Getty Images21/50(Last year no. 23)"Being confident, not trying too hard, having fun and experimenting makes for a leading best-dressed man of the year. Pharrell Williams has great individual style that exudes a cool confidence." Caroline Rush, CEO, British Fashion Council
GQ says: Quite possibly the only grown man who makes shorts look cool.
Getty Images22/50(Last year no. 36)"Just as Zayn Malik's music is soulful, his style is natural. His whole approach is contemporary, an easy coolness with the right amount of modern rebel." Giuseppe Zanotti, shoe designer
"Something we've always admired about Malik is his ability to always be true to his creative self. He's honed a style that is his own, combining high fashion with street cool. His eccentric yet quirky style is definitely worthy of note." Dean and Dan Caten, fashion designers, DSquared2
GQ says: Dating supermodel Gigi Hadid only seems to have supercharged the style game of Bradford's most famous son.
Getty Images23/50(Last year no. 13)"What is there to say about Beckham's style that hasn't already been said? On the one hand, he's like a beautiful navy suit: a classic that will always be in style no matter its age. On the other hand, he's made a career of trying cool new styles and cutting-edge labels - not to mention more hairstyles than any other celebrity we can think of. Combine these two and you can see why this menswear legend is always on best-dressed lists around the globe - and still as relevant as ever. You keep doing you, David." Nick Carvell
GQ says: The original British menswear maverick is still at the top of his game - and clearly passing his time-honed tips to his son Brooklyn.
Getty Images24/50(New entry)"'Gioco tutti giorno,' Brunello Cucinelli explained when I asked about how damn vital he is (for his 64 years). It translates as 'play all day', and while daily football certainly helps him keep a refined silhouette, it's far from the whole picture. Cucinelli mastered a new blend of sartorial and casual; a look that shows he doesn't think about what clothes to wear, he simply feels it. The way Cucinelli slings pieces together has defined a new style cipher that transcends age and location." Tom Stubbs, fashion stylist and writer
GQ says: The king of Italian cashmere is perma-layered in the luxurious fabric - and rightly so.
Getty Images25/50(Last year no. 24)"Gorgeously, fashionably refined. No shrinking violet, a killer look every time. Forever inspired." Lou Dalton, fashion designer
GQ says: We'd expect nothing less from the main man at the UK's most influential fashion biannual (and our brother publication), GQ Style.
Getty Images26/50(Last year no. 44)"With a natural charm and confidence, Ryan Gosling makes even his most fashion-forward choices look laid-back and effortless." Michael Kors, fashion designer
GQ says: Lots of men can do the red carpet right, but Gosling is one of the few leading men in Hollywood who can look like an A-lister even on his days off.
Getty Images27/50(Last year no. 45)"He has an eclectic signature style that effortlessly mixes formal with a more relaxed style, so it always looks consistent and authentic." Sandra Choi, creative director, Jimmy Choo
GQ says: For an Englishman, this DJ and producer sure gets that sleek Euro-meets-Americana vibe spot on.
Getty Images28/50(New entry)"You can see how the eclectic and sophisticated influences that inform Blondey McCoy's work translate in the way he dresses. He has this incredibly unique and genuine sense of style, which is really refreshing." Christopher Bailey, outgoing chief creative officer, Burberry
GQ says: He's the poster child for multihyphenate millennials: skater, designer, artist and, most recently, the new face of Burberry.
Getty Images29/50(New entry)"Virgil Abloh has been instrumental in elevating streetwear to its credible position in the luxury market. His personal style mirrors his label by riffing on graphic prints, head-to-toe black and grungy denim." Robin Key, Photographic Director, GQ
GQ says: The creative director of Off-White has gone from strength to strength since his original gig as Kanye West's stylist.
Getty Images30/50(New entry)"My vote would go to Rocco Ritchie - his style is effortlessly cool. He always incorporates his skater roots into what he wears, but recently is being more experimental, mixing different genres in with his favourite sportswear. I think he is becoming a real style contender." David Hagglund, creative director, Topshop
GQ says: The son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie has become every Supreme fanboy's style icon.
Getty Images31/50(Re-entry)"Prince Charles has always dressed beautifully and he has always set a great example - not least to his son Prince William, another Savile Row customer." Richard James, designer
GQ says: The best advertisement for the sartorial power of a Savile Row suit since his great uncle the Duke Of Windsor.
Getty Images32/50(Last year no. 50)"Sometimes Tinie Tempah can push the envelope, but he has innate style and always pulls it off." Mark Wogan, restaurateur
GQ says: Not only has the rapper launched his What We Wear men's line, but he's also doing stellar work representing great British style on his gigs around the world.
Getty Images33/50(New entry)"Here is a man truly at the top of his game. As well as producing massive funk-inspired hits under his alias, Childish Gambino, he's also earning his stripes on the silver screen having starred in Magic Mike XXL, The Martian and Solo: A Star Wars Story, which lands next year. He's championing the Seventies glamour look on the red carpet at the moment, oozing awesomeness in velvet tailoring and embellished dinner jackets. Equally as effortless on the casual front, he's been spotted wearing Hawaiian shirts and simple retro sports gear. When I styled him recently, I had a bunch of old sweatshirts and vintage leather jackets that he loved." Grace Gilfeather, Fashion Editor, GQ
GQ says: Glover is a master of dressing to stand out from the crowd subtly but effectively (case in point: the brown velvet Gucci suit that he wore to this year's Golden Globes).
Getty Images34/50(Last year no. 19)"I admire Michael Fassbender's outstanding versatility. From Prometheus to Macbeth, he has the ability to switch from one role to another with ease, always giving incisive and believable performances. I've dressed him on various occasions and I like him because he has a very clean personal style. I find him particularly elegant in dark suits with a tie, which highlight his classic yet highly unpredictable charm." Giorgio Armani, fashion designer
GQ says: Fassbender has been repping some seriously good suits on the red carpet this year - a feat made even more impressive by the fact that he doesn't employ a stylist (unlike many of his peers).
Getty Images35/50(New entry)"Whether it be his 'Why be racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic when you could just be quiet?' Green Box T-shirt and lime-green buzz-cut on the cover of Blond or recent drag ball-themed birthday party to which he wore crystallised Gucci leggings, Frank Ocean pushes boundaries and speaks to a generation that does the same." Gary Armstrong, Fashion Editor, GQ Style
GQ says: Not only did Ocean name his album after summer's biggest men's hair trend, but he also wore Vans with his suit to the White House. Now that's confidence.
Getty Images36/50(Last year no. 30)"A regular on the frow at LFWM (for which he serves as a BFC menswear ambassador), the reigning Formula One world champion is no slouch in the wardrobe department either. Lewis Hamilton wears it well because he believes in it - not so much stealth as motor-racer maximalist, with a good eye for accessories and a firm belief that when it comes to standing out from the race weekend paddock crowd, he rarely if ever breaks sweat." Gary Armstrong
GQ says: As quick to leap on the big men's trends as he is on the track.
Getty Images37/50(Re-entry)"Just like the rock'n'roll icons of the Sixties, Alex Turner is the very definition of a style chameleon. He gets our vote because he dares to try new things, switching his style to suit his mood." The Elicha brothers, founders, The Kooples
GQ says: The Arctic Monkeys frontman is back on the scene and doing great work to further the cause of skinny jeans in a world of relaxed cuts.
Getty Images38/50(New entry)"Not since John Lennon has anyone paired psychedelic music so perfectly with rebel style and round sunglasses. Travis Scott's distinctive look works wherever he goes - whether that's a pap shot between gigs or on one of his Lynchian music videos. All you need to know about Scott's entry is that after he was arrested for playing a gig that was simply too hot for the police, his first instinct was to sell a T-shirt bearing a print of his mugshot." Conrad Quilty-Harper, Editor, GQ.co.uk
GQ says: Over the past year, Scott's collaborated with Ksubi, Nike and Helmut Lang, covered GQ Style and dressed like a badass, all solid reasons for making our list.
Getty Images39/50(Last year no. 37)"With a style that demonstrates the modern male's ideal wardrobe, Dermot O'Leary is the model ambassador for British tailoring, while also being able to perfect the smart-casual look that we all aim to achieve." Thom Whiddett and Luke Sweeney, fashion designers, Thom Sweeney
GQ says: Still the best-dressed man in Britain on a Saturday night.
Getty Images40/50(Last year no. 4)"I follow the ideal that you can wear anything as long as you wear it with confidence. For that reason, I say Conor is one of the best dressed when it comes to fashion. He owns his looks. Smart and simple in a suit or way over the top in a mink coat, he always means it." Bluey Robinson, musician
GQ says: Two words: knockout style.
Getty Images41/50(New entry)"When the man behind the world's hottest luxury brand, Gucci, dresses like this, you know the ultimate contemporary signal of freedom and creativity is dishevelled dandyism." Luke Leitch, Contributing Fashion Editor, GQ
GQ says: The man behind the big Gucci revival has overtaken Jared Leto as the best ambassador for its designs.
Getty Images42/50(New entry)"It's in the Beckham genes to be chic and Brooklyn continues the trend in a personal way. I like his combination of classic and current fashion - the natural way to wear it. He's also passionate about photography, modelling and stars in campaigns - he understands fashion and it shows. He is very stylish." Joana de la Fuente, Fashion Director, GQ Spain
GQ says: He's continuing his father's excellent work in the field of menswear for the next generation.
Getty Images43/50(New entry)"The thing that sets Ryan Reynolds' style apart from his red-carpet peers is that it just feels real: it doesn't feel like he's wearing something that's been picked out for him by a stylist. These are smart, sleek separates from seriously cool labels, such as Todd Snyder and Officine Générale, all layered up and worn in a way that any man could in his day-to-day life. Plus, he has excellent glasses. Show me a man who doesn't want to dress like Ryan Reynolds and I'll show you a liar." Nick Carvell
GQ says: As a father of two regularly swaddled in Brunello Cucinelli, Reynolds has single-handedly redefined "dad" dressing.
Getty Images44/50(Last year no. 15)"Whatever the occasion, Riz exudes style and class in droves. In his go-to classic leather bomber and slim chinos, his style is seriously on point. When performing on stage, he proudly combines his heritage and upbringing, styling traditional Pakistani wear with a touch of British street style. On the red carpet, he is a natural, never missing a beat and always sharply dressed in a fashion-forward, slim-silhouetted suit." Mark Williams, creative director, Ben Sherman
GQ says: Whether he's tuxed-up or in one of his signature colour-block suits, the man never goes rogue on the red carpet.
Getty Images45/50(Last year no. 16)"I've continued to name Skepta as the best-dressed British male for four years now. He continues to evolve as an icon and it's clear to see how his moves, words and look trickle down - and everyone wants to be involved. I hope they all understand he is not a trend: he is an icon of a generation." Astrid Andersen, fashion designer
GQ says: This year, Skepta's influence on men's fashion hit new heights. Not only did he launch his first fashion line, Mains, but it was also a period that saw his personal style evolve into something more multifaceted and cooler than ever before: the sportswear superfan dabbled more seriously in high fashion. In short, it's the kind of risk-taking, designer-meets-streetwear vibe that's setting the style agenda for men today, both on and off the grime scene. And while his wardrobe might be in a constant state of flux, one thing remains the same: "Dressing like a mess? Nah, that's not me."
Getty Images46/50(New entry)"The Garf used to be, well, a little bit scruffy, didn't he? Deliberately so. Like he was somehow above style. Or above caring about the clothes he was seen in. Hell, even at his premieres he looked ashamed to be smart; teeth clenched like a nine-year-old in a paisley waistcoat at his great-grandmother's 95th birthday. Then something happened. He relaxed. Maybe it was the break-up from Emma Stone that forced him to look in the mirror. Or maybe his team employed a decent stylist. Maybe he just googled his name finally. Whatever happened, it's working. Dapper, without the ego, handsome, without showing off about it. Garf's new style harmony is all about being a better version of himself." Jonathan Heaf, Features Director, GQ
GQ says: Maybe it's all the time he's spent in Britain for Angels In America at the National Theatre this year, but Garfield's been wearing some seriously slick suits. Cheers to that.
Getty Images47/50(Last year no. 27)"I respect his development as a solo artist and think his personal style has matured too. His style looks a lot more personally influenced than that of a stylist." Grant Pearce, Editorial Director, GQ Asia-Pacific
"Harry is the modern embodiment of British rocker style - edgy, flamboyant and worn with unapologetic swagger." Michael Kors, fashion designer
GQ says: He's conquered the charts with his debut album, conquered the cinema with his debut film and conquered a flared Gucci suit. No wonder he's made our top ten.
Getty Images48/50(New entry)"Jeff Goldblum has always been stylish, but this year (as he turned 65) he's hit his stride. Legendary here at GQ HQ for his monochromatic getups (generally involving skinny ties, leather jackets and two-tone loafers), the actor has now embraced colour, print and pattern in a big way - thanks to a couple of seriously good Gucci shopping sprees. Watch out, Jared Leto." Nick Carvell
GQ says: The man we all want to dress like when we grow up.
Getty Images49/50(Last year no. 20)"A$AP Rocky has once again taken it upon himself to develop his already fearless style, and this year cemented the fact he wasn't going to let it slip. Sartorial highlights include his Balenciaga look worn at Calvin Klein's Fashion Week show and opening a classic New York bodega grocery store in Selfridges, London, which consisted of a sellout capsule collection. He's no stranger to combining his love of fashion with music - in May 2017, he paid homage to designer and creative director Raf Simons by releasing his track 'Raf'. Rocky has always been able to keep his hand right on the faucet and by continuing to fuse top-tier designers with cult streetwear, we're sure we'll be seeing more super-bold ensembles from the Harlem rapper very soon." Carlotta Constant, Acting Style And Grooming Editor, GQ
GQ says: Whether he's hitting the front row of Dior Homme in head-to-toe Kris Van Assche handiwork or heading to a gig with a new-season Balenciaga bumbag, the man's still a Fashion Killa.
James White50/50(Re-entry)"Whether it's his leading role playing Prince Philip in the wildly successful series The Crown or landing a gig in Burberry's most recent ad campaign alongside Cara Delevingne, it's hard to deny it's been a stellar year for Matt Smith. However, the reason for the actor topping our annual chart isn't anything to do with how many views he's pulled in on Netflix, but that he's had a supremely stylish 12 months. He is, quite simply, an original - a rare man who can pull off that quintessentially British tailored vibe in a way that not only feels totally genuine, but also totally fresh. He'll step out in a beautifully cut linen suit in a zingy - but not showy - colour one day, then the next, will arrive at an event in a scoop-neck T-shirt with a rock'n'roll necklace slipped over and a ballsy wool overcoat. In short, Smith wears what the hell he wants and looks superb. And what more do you need than that?" Nick Carvell
GQ says: Prince Philip may not be our nation's solo sovereign, but that doesn't stop us crowning the actor who plays him. Long live the king!
