Jay-Z

The millionaire hiphop mogul transforms from rap star to debonaire businessman with ease, his luxurious wardrobe never failing to match up to the occasion. Jay-Z's easygoing, effortless style is much appreciated.

It's usually his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen who's the toast of the fashion world, so it must have been a pleasant surprise for American footballer Tom to make the cut. His clothes are as easy on the eyes as he is!

His sister-in-law topped the Vanity Fair list, but Prince Harry's not that far behind in the style stakes -- he's ditched the stuffy suits and prim brogues that most royals favour, in preference of a smart but easygoing vibe.

The only other male royal to make it besides Harry was Prince Heinrich von und zu Furstenberg, an entrepreneur of noble German lineage.

Canadian reporter and correspondent for CBS News Morley Safer is quite the distinguished gentleman and always well-turned-out. Whoever said fashion is only for the young?

His forte is menswear, so we figure British designer Ozwald Boateng knows a thing or two about dressing up! Unlike some eccentric couturiers, he prefers the smart and stylish route to eliciting jaw-dropping reactions (read Marc Jacobs in a skirt!).
