RAPPER Drake has been named 2016’s best-dressed man in the world by men’s mag GQ, with Orlando Bloom taking the “undressed” title.
Canadian Drake, 30, pipped British actors Eddie Redmayne, 34, who came in second after topping the list last year, and Luke Evans, 37, in third.
GQ praised Drake’s “imaginative, confident, butch” style, declaring: “He’s proving that it’s possible to look cool in an outfit that, in a cheaper guise, might otherwise never leave the sofa.”
Other Brits in the top ten included DJ Nick Grimshaw, 32, TV’s James Corden, 38, and actors Tom Hiddleston, 35, Benedict Cumberbatch, 40, and Jack O’Connell, 26.
Hollywood heartthrob Bloom, 39, was snapped paddle-boarding naked in August on a holiday with his pop star girlfriend Katy Perry in the Med.
