GQ's 10 Most Stylish Men in America

GQ published it's picks for the 10 most stylish men in America. Check them out and see how your guy stands up to this fashion-savvy squad. In no particular order...
Justin Timberlake (Singer/Songwriter)This one should really come as no surprise. We knew this GQ cover boy and William Rast co-founder had potential when he was that kid in the boy band.


TI (Rapper) Hip hop stars are not typically associated with tailored blazers but TI makes it work with big, baggy jeans and sneaks.


Sid Mashburn (Haberdasher)

If there's anyone who knows a thing or two about style, it's Atlanta-based haberdasher Mashburn (seen here with his staff).





Mark Ronson (DJ/Producer)

While most DJs don the same hip hop clothing the clubgoers are sporting, Ronson styles himself in slim-cut suits and skinny ties, a la '60s Motown men.





Jason Schwartzman (Actor)


The coolest thing about Schwartzman is that he doesn't at all let trends or fads dictate his style.



Glenn O'Brien (Style Guy for GQ blog)
He's the Style Guy for GQ, for crying out loud...he'd better be stylish!



Ed Ruscha (Artist)


This LA artist (seen here with his son) is 71 years old and still has a sort of cocky swagger in a suit. Note the tennis shoes.





Alexi Lubomirski (Photographer)


This England-born chap followed fashion rules given to him by his mum, and claims Paul Newman and Robert Redford as his style inspirations.





Kanye West (Rapper/Producer)


Somehow Kanye manages to make flashy, colorful, and punk look so incredibly cool on a guy. He singlehandedly resurrected shutter shades from the '80s!





Andre Balazs (Hotelier)


His hotel, Chateau Marmont, is one of LA's most chic hangouts, so it's no wonder he's among the most stylish. His idea of style: comfort!

Michelle Obama Wears Jason Wu


For months we've waited to find out which designer First Lady Michelle Obama would choose to design her inaugural gown and tonight we finally got our answer. The statuesque Michelle wore a diaphanous white gown from New York-based designer Jason Wu, no doubt putting the 26-year old on the fashion map.


Wu called in to chat on Anderson Cooper 360, stating that he was thrilled to see her in his gown. Like the rest of us, he had no idea what the First Lady would be wearing until he saw her on TV.


Earlier in the day, Michelle Obama donned a sleek suit to the swearing-in ceremony. The suit, a lemongrass-colored sheath and jacket, was designed by Isabel Toledo. I love that our First Lady wears what she likes, instead of wearing the bigger designers everyone is expecting her to wear!


As usual, Michelle looked absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see what looks she puts together over the next eight years!
