Who doesn't love a best dressed list? Typically we hold out until the end of the year to decide who deserves a look from our discerning editors, but after just one month of 2013, it's time to give props where props are due. These ten guys are getting a jump start at running the style game this year. From award shows and film festivals, to live performances and music video shoots, we've scoped the dudes who are leading the pack. Let's just see if they can keep up the pace for another 11 months. Here are The 10 Best Dressed Celebrities of the Year (Already).

10. J.R. Smith
J.R. Swish is good at a lot of things. His best skill is ethering corny NBA players on the court and on Twitter, but he's also stepped his style game up this year. Off the bench, he wears varsity jackets and designer shades, and also knows how to clean up in a nice suit. We're looking forward to what else he has in store.
9. Frank Ocean
Frank Ocean used to keep it simple, but it seems like he's all about statement pieces this year. Earlier this month, he rocked a sick camo jacket from Stone Island, then just a few days ago, he was spotted in a yellow suit on the set of his "Forrest Gump" video. Don't worry though, he's still rocking the headbands and keeping his look true to himself.
8. Paul Rudd
Paul Rudd has been cool since Clueless, but he must have realized being funny doesn't mean he has to look it, too. Recently, he's been opting for well-fitting basics and no-nonsense wardrobe staples like oxford shirts. And most importantly, he dresses his age by not looking like a dad, but not chasing trends either.
7. Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick's had a great year so far. Very few rappers get invited to be the musical guest on SNL, but the good kid showed out and killed it in all black. This month, he continued to try out cool trends without looking like he's trying too hard.
6. Chris Brown
The douchebag of the moment has at least one thing going for him. We can't hate on Chris's style because he's the master of mixing and matching streetwear looks without looking corny. His collection of Jordans, varsity jackets, and snapbacks is impressive. Plus, dressing better than other R&B singers is the only acceptable way to beat them.
5. Eddie Redmayne
This isn't the first time we've noticed Eddie's awesome style. He made it onto our end-of-the-year list last year after killing every red carpet with his suit game. When you have somewhere important to go, take style cues from this British actor. He's going to take the formalwear crown from Andrew Garfield.
4. Big Sean
We hereby dub Big Sean the coat king. The G.O.O.D. Music rapper has been in Paris most of January and rocked three awesome designer pieces already. A color-blocked Carven jacket, a Prada coat, and a Yves Saloman parka. And unlike jerks who just wear one expensive thing and shitty-everything else, Sean knows how to style the rest of his outfit to make the whole look fresh.
3. Justin Timberlake
Back like he never left, JT is making music again and he's got the wardrobe to match the beats. He's wearing head-to-toe Tom Ford in his "Suit & Tie" video, wore the designer again to the SAG Awards, and we just heard that Tom Ford will outfit Justin for the whole 20/20 Experience album. It pays to have designer friends.
2. A$AP Rocky
A$AP Rocky is the one to beat this year. He got the coveted number one spot on our list of The Most Stylish Celebrities of 2012 and it doesn't look like he's losing his championship belt anytime soon. Yes, he's the mascot when it comes to street clothes getting weirder, but we give him props for being a risk taker and not giving one fuck.
1. David Beckham
What can't this guy do? In just one month, Becks is already the most stylish guy right now. His layering game is on point, and every item is tailored to a T. He's been the most consistent this year, therefore he beats out the usual suspects for the number one spot.
