Kanye West lands the cover (revealed earlier today on Kim Kardashian’s Instagram feed) and the top spot in GQ‘s issue dedicated to the “20 Most Stylish Men Alive.” According to GQ, “This is not about the celebrities who spend the most cash on designer clothes or hire the best stylists. Instead, we were looking for guys who carry themselves through the world with confidence and originality. Men who follow their own spirit guides.”
Following West are Ryan Gosling, Pharrell, Jeff Goldblum, Jared Leto, Bradley Cooper, LeBron James,A$AP Rocky, Jay Z, Brad Pitt, Harry Styles, Daniel Craig, Cristiano Ronaldo, Russell Westbrook, John Mayer, Jaden Smith, David Beckham, Mark Ronson, Mario Balotelli and Eddie Redmayne. Given that a certain level of fame appears to be a minimum requirement, this is not a bad list at all.
