Women want to be with them – men want to be them, these are the most stylish actors in the whole of tinseltown.

JOHN MALKOVICH

Well he is also a fashion designer after all, so it’s no surprise that he’s one of the most stylish actors around. His menswear line ‘Technobohemian’ has been up-and-running since 2009 after his previous brand ‘Uncle Kimono’ folded.

IDRIS ELBA

For fans of The Wire he’ll for ever be Stringer, but in truth he’s moved on to bigger things now. After a very commendable performance as Nelson Mandela in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom he’s now being linked to play James Bond – oh and he’s always dressed to kill.

CHRISTIAN BALE

The thing about Bale is that he’s so transient and, as the most notorious method actor of his generation, he almost assumes the personalities, idiosyncrasies – and yes – the styles of the characters he plays! Generally though, he looks pretty sharp.

WILLEM DAFOE

Dafoe is mercifully not as unstable as many of the characters he portrays and is by all accounts a pretty nice guy. He’s got a great dress sense too; understated, classic and with a hint of the hipster.

ZACHARY QUINTO

Spock is probably a fairly unlikely style icon, but Quinto has definitely added a bit of pizzaz to the role. With his trademark ‘geek-chic’ glasses, skinny suits and slicked pompadour – he’s definitely one of the most stylish stars around.

RYAN GOSLING

The heartthrob has been busy of late with a multitude of critically acclaimed films being released over the last couple of years. If he wears a suit, he’ll never play it safe and has an eclectic taste in fabrics, cuts and colours – he’s not afraid to dress down either and is one of the few celebrities to be able to pull of double-denim.
