Prince Philip Amongst GQ Best-Dressed Men 2014

GQ Magazine have released their 'Best Dressed' list for the coming year and amongst some predictable entries, including Benedict Cumberbatch and David Beckham, there have been a few surprises, most notably the inclusion of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, AKA the Queen's hubbie.

Prince Philip Has Made It On To GQ's Best Dressed List.

A mixture of magazine staff and experts helped compile the year's list of the most style savvy celebs and judged that Prince Philip "deserves yet another medal - for his services to classic British tailoring." Whilst we don't deny that the blunder-prone royal always looks sharp and dashing in his suits, tailcoats, and expertly knotted ties, his name's occurrence on the list comes as a surprise perhaps because of his reclusion from the media glare.

However, the 92 year-old duke lauded for his exertion of influence upon the younger royals. "Top-down management still rules among the royals, evidenced by the degree to which the Duke of Edinburgh's sons, grandsons (and who knows, great-grandson) hero-worship his time-honoured style," said GQ's deputy editor, Bill Prince.

Meanwhile, Radio 1 breakfast presenter Nick Grimshaw managed to claim the list's top perch with last year's winner Tom Hiddlestone as well as Benedict Cumberbatch, Idris Elba and Dan Stevens rounding out the top five. Grimshaw's daring decisions to mix battered biker jackets with elegantly detailed floral shirts has seen the 29 year-old DJ pull away from some serious competition.

13 may be unlucky for some but for retired England footballer David Beckham 2013 has been a stormer of a year as the 38 year-old rounded off his successful sports career, was greeted like a hero on a tour of China and sizzled in a H&M underwear campaign.

Other notable presences on the list include the One Direction singer and recipient of the British Fashion Awards' British Style Icon prize, Harry Styles, who has been a stalwart supporter of British designers at fashion shows this year.

GQ's best dressed list sizzles with the hot young things in music, fashion and cinema. Aside from the aforementioned Styles, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner shoe-horned his way into the top ten alongside hip-hop star Tinie Tempah. Additionally, producer Mark Ronson, Hurts' Theo Hutchcraft and Elton John made the top 20, ensuring music and fashion stay forever entwined.

Of course, an endless conveyor belt of glamorous actors and filmmakers gleaming on the red carpets of the world needs to have counted for something and indeed, GQ's list is populated with the most stylish of cinema after a fantastic year of filmmaking.

Thor's Tom Hiddlestone is the highest rated actor followed quickly by Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom's Idris Elba and Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens. Elsewhere, Jude Law, Damian Lewis, Eddie Redmayne and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have ensured that acting remains one of the hottest professions for sartorial nous.
