Hey Ya! Esquire's Men of the Moment
August 20, 2004

Jude Law, Hugh Grant and Prince Charles are among the fashion-forward guys who's sartorial savvy's landed them on Esquire magazine's list of Best Dressed Men in the World. And while the magazine's Associate Editor Chris Berend says Charles is "the most regal of them all," he declares, "Each one of these guys is an individualist."

So who tops the list? You may be surprised that the honor goes to Outkast's flamboyant rapper, Andre 3000 -- but Berend explains the choice by saying, "He manages to take old-school preppy looks and mix them into something completely new and original."

And André's not the only musician who made the list; Neptunes producer Pharrell Williams and Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin also made the cut. "[Martin] takes T-shirts, and he puts on a really nice suit jacket or blazer over it that makes it dressed up a little bit," says Berend.

Meanwhile, actor Paul Bettany's clean, casual and comfy style helped land him a spot. "He is kind of stepping out and becoming a style icon," Berend explains.

And "Today" show co-host Matt Lauer, who suited up in his own gear for his photo shoot, also made the cut. "We call him our best dressed wake-up call," Berend says. "Essentially he is the best dressed cup of coffee in the morning."
