The 25 Most Stylish Celebrities of 2012

If you've been spotted wearing Visvim nearly head-to-toe, chances are you're going to make our list even if your general behavior and music aren't really our thing. Thankfully for John Mayer, this isn't a popularity contest, and the singer definitely gets props for rocking obscure Japanese workwear brands and channeling his inner Bohemian, even if some of these Visvim pieces cost several thousand dollars.

Elijah Wood may have some of the most disturbing eyes out there, but his recent stylish outfits have distracted us from those creeper peepers. As he tours the Earth promoting his latest foray into Middle Earth, Elijah's been hitting up red carpets left and right and repping hard for his favorite shop, Brooklyn Tailors. The Williamsburg-based suiting destination kitted Elijah out with slim suits that would give any Hobbit a handsome appearance.

Rick Ross had a prolific year in 2012. His album God Forvives, I Don't and two mixtapes Rich Forever and The Black Bar Mitzvah dominated the airwaves, and his Maybach Music Group is a veritable empire that's primed to go off in 2013. The avid sports fan rocked plenty varsity jackets this past year, and his furs and vivid colors that were fit for a pharaoh proved once and for all that big dudes have plenty of style.

Not only did Joseph Gordon-Levitt go from having one of the most unexpected career turnarounds in recent history (From 3rd Rock from the Sun to The Dark Knight Rises. Cotdamn!) but 2012 was the year he went from the lame twee guy we associated with 500 Days of Summer to a certified A-lister who kills it in any suit he touches. Who knows if Gordon-Levitt will be the next Bruce Wayne, but he's certainly dressing like he wants the part.

Complex's very own Man of Next Year is also one of this year's most stylish celebs. As Mac Miller finishes up on the much-anticipated Watching Movies with the Sound Off album that's set for 2013, he's become the face of streetwear. One thing we love about Mac is that, as he's blown up, his clothing tastes haven't changed much - the man knows what he likes. The rapper spent most of 2012 touring and performing in BBC, Bape, ONLY NY, Stussy, and other streetwear brands we all know and love.

When he wasn't busy stopping shots and leading the NY Rangers to their strongest finish since 1997, Henrik Lundqvist was taking over for Sean Avery this past year as the best dressed hockey player in the country. When featured on Mr. Porter, the Swedish-born goaltender admitted that he had a stretch of trying different styles where he made some mistakes. But he's learned from those mistakes and has now settled on a penchant for on-point tailoring that's so fire it may jeopardize his vocation.

Eddie Redmayne is the dude your girl is thinking about during sexy time for his breakout roles in last year's My Week with Marilyn and the upcoming Les Miserables. And also for being one of the only dudes who could pull off a green velvet suit. This Brit would've made this list for that bold move alone, but as his steez shows, this dude is no stranger to style—he starred in an ad campaign for Burberry in 2008 and 2012.

It's no secret now that NBA players have been dressing well for a minute, and Dwyane Wade is the man we have to thank for these big and tall dudes not looking like they shop at exclusively at Big & Tall. The Miami Heat guard is the vanguard leading guys like Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook on a sartorial fast break away from the garbage we were too used to seeing athletes wear.

Any old white fashion editor who thinks Kanye is too mainstream and doesn't know how to pronounce A$AP will tell you that Theophilus London is their favorite rapper. A fixture on the fashion scene who fuses rock, hip-hop, and hipster styles to create an instantly recognizable look, Theophilus was included in Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld's recent book The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited. With friends like these, Theophilus is gonna be on these lists for a long time.

A little over a year ago, we started noticing Pusha-T mixing in European designer pieces to his wardrobe. Since then, the G.O.O.D. Music member hasn't looked back, and has led the pack in rocking Givenchy, Balenciaga, Rick Owens, etc., as well as bringing serious shine to lesser-known brands like En Noir and Ale et Ange. In addition to putting various fuckboys on blast and working on Wrath of Caine, we're excited to see how Pusha pushes style weight in 2013.

After a killer 2011, everyone's favorite Canadian kept it going strong in 2012. Ryan Gosling may not have been involved with any major projects this past year, but his style both on and off the red carpet were continuously next level. If you're able to body the red carpet with updates on traditional menswear and also be on the forefront of trends in your off-time, then yes, you are in our top 10.

Even if you're not a fan of the Twilight franchise, you have to admit that Robert Pattinson killed it this year. Whether riding trends we co-sign like the pictured baseball jacket, or pushing the boundaries in a green suit, it's obvious this guy is one sharp dressed man. We'll forgive him for being a tween hearthrob (which seems like such a creepy position to be in) if he continues to dress this way.

We don't really talk much about Zac Efron on Complex, but there is no denying that this newly minted A-lister is doing all the right things in terms of style. For a teen darling, he flat out dresses well. Hell, for a guy who's most notable role in 2012 involved him getting pissed on, he flat out dresses well. If he keeps it up, we might be forced to forget the fact that his most notable role in 2012 involved him getting pissed on.

If you're the man playing James Bond, then you're under as much English scrutiny as Kate Middleton's baby bump and Prince Harry's balls, so you better be one savvy dresser off the screen. Luckily, Daniel Craig has mastered the art of appearing in 007-esque suits when needed, and being snapped in more casual workwear that works just as well for the grizzled Brit.

After finally convincing us to call him Yasiin Bey, the man formerly known as Mos Def took 2012 to prove that his style is definitely consistent. Bey is the current master of mixing prints with vintage-inspired garments with contemporary next level style. And he somehow never looks like he's trying too hard or reaching too far. Hopefully now that his style is incredibly on point he can focus on a 2013 album.

This past year nearly belonged entirely to Frank Ocean. His much-hyped album Channel Orange exceeded expectations, the singer broke down barriers on his own terms, and he did it all in impeccable style. The OFWGKTA member kept it interesting this past year, incorporating powerhouses like YSL and smaller brands like Sidian Ersatz & Vanes into his eclectic wardrobe. Also, don't be surprised if you see dudes rocking the headband à la Ocean next year.

For about 10 years now, Pharrell has been setting trends and leading us into the unknown. Did you think 2012 would be any different? Besides having his hands in too many musical projects for us to even count, Skateboard P brought Mark McNairy on board to develop the Billionaire Boys Club Bee Line, proving that the producer/rapper/author/designer is as in tune now as he was ten years ago.

2012 was quite the year for Kanye West, and that's saying something for the man who's dominated the music and style game for years now. In addition to putting out Cruel Summer, the album that was a constant presence no matter where you went, 'Ye also boo'd up the love of his life Kim Kardashian. And he did it all while creating a high-low style that's consistent enough to be signature 'Ye, but also keeps us guessing and talking about whatever it is he'll do next.
