... and the world's best-dressed man is ...

Quote:

NEW YORK - Andre 3000 is the world’s best-dressed man, according to Esquire magazine.

“He’s a complete individual,” Nick Sullivan, Esquire’s fashion director, said Tuesday. “But that’s really the point.”

Andre 3000 is the usually over-the-top dressed half of hip-hip duo OutKast. Some of the 30-year-old’s fashion outings include: a lime green jacket at the 2004 Grammy Awards, candy apple red fur for the VH1 Big in 2003 ceremony and a pink-on-pink ensemble for the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

“He’s probably worn his most outrageous when he’s in a video or on stage,” said Sullivan, who said Esquire’s list is more about personal style than a celebrity’s stylist’s style. “What we photographed him in is very much what he wanted to wear.”

Andre 3000 sports several different and subtle looks in the magazine’s spread including a double-breasted suede trench coat by Michael Kors, a cashmere sweater by the Ralph Lauren Purple Label and corduroy trousers by AndreBenjamin, the rapper’s own clothing line.

Sources of his fashion inspiration include clothes from period flicks such as “Legends of the Fall” and “The Great Gatsby” and the “old men” in his neighborhood.

“They’re kind of like a uniform, which I’ve always been into,” he says in the September issue of Esquire. “To me, that’s real style, anything that feels comfortable and expresses your personality and makes you stand a little taller.”

Although the magazine has compiled best-dressed lists in the past, this year’s list is the first worldwide affair. Other best-dressed men include “Today” co-anchor Matt Lauer, Prince Felipe of Spain, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom.

The list was compiled through a set of criteria by a panel of fashion experts and Esquire editors.

I don't know who I would've picked, but I probably wouldn't have thought of Andre.

No. Personally, I think the guy just tends to look stupid and ugly. And I hate his music too.

/bias

hmmm.. interesting.

there's many other men out there that i'd have picked before him, but i guess, that because he's outrageous but tempered he stands out.

Well crap! Guess I come in second again this year!

Got to get me one of them pink-on-pink ensembles.

Dontcha hate pricks like that, could be spending that money to help little kids, instead of making even bigger asses of themselves.

Too bad making a bigger ass of himself just rakes in more money for him.

Wow, you people sure are ignorant! He's a "prick" because he doesn't donate all of his money to charity?! The guy is one of the most level headed artists out there, so I'd LOVE to hear how he's an "ass" :lol::lol::lol:

I would've picked Andre too. Glad he got it.

Stompy...We're glad that you're glad that he got it.

But don't call us ignorant because we happen to have a different opinion than yours...o-tay?

How the hell is this guy picked? All his attires just screams "tacky" to me.

It's only because they probably didn't see pictures of the stylin' guys in Tilted Portraits, I mean, come on.... TFP has some really snappy dressers.... :D

....how in the hell did he steal my wife's hat without her knowing about it....

His socks match his shirt, that's definitely a look.... When I went to high school in Preppyville, USA, the girls always had socks that matched their sweaters....

Why do so many people on this site loathe all celebrities?

Anyway...I don't really have anything against Andre 3000 but I think he dresses kind of ugly.

Hehehe...Im hoping that those are in fact socks, and not some one-piece pajama/bodysuit setup! :crazy:

Cool that he got it. He does dress alot nicer than alot of the lamers that are in music nowadays.

I've yet to see one of his videos that have girls jumping around and zoom shots off ass jiggling, so thats a plus too!

Laughable to say that just b/c he has money he should be obliged to donate it to someone else. Bust ass and get money, just to give it away?

I'm sure you could think of a better example than Andre who isnt even rich comparable to some of the big wig corperate CEO's in the US.

He won because he actually puts thought into what he wears. No one else in Hollywood gives a flying fuck... as long as they're skinny and wearing the cool new designer.

Who the fuck is Prada anyway?

first off, let me say that i don't think that spending exorbitent amounts of cash on clothes is level headed. but at least he doesn't roll around with a little fake band-aid and a bunch of gold around his neck.
