Daniel Craig, the latest actor to play James Bond in the super-spy series of movies, was named the best-dressed man in Britain by men's style magazine GQ on Monday.In an article in GQ's May issue, due out on Thursday, the magazine listed the 10 best-dressed and worst-dressed men in the country.
Craig was followed in the best-dressed list by David Cameron, the leader of the main opposition Conservative Party, who placed second, and film star Clive Owen, who was third.
Gordon Brown — the finance minister and likely future prime minister — conversely came second in the list for Britain's worst-dressed men, beaten only by TV host and comedian Russell Brand.
Craig's slick, suit-wearing character in 'Casino Royale' — the latest iteration in the James Bond series — was credited with his topping the list.
"No Bond since Sean Connery has worn it better," GQ said.
"It works because the 007 uniform seems like an upgrade of what Craig would naturally wear."
GQ said that Cameron, meanwhile, was "a politician who understands the news agenda is set as much by appearance as it is by words."
Acknowledging that some celebrities polarised the fashion world with their dress sense, GQ placed some men on both lists.
Pete Doherty, the frontman for Babyshambles, perhaps best known for his relationship with supermodel Kate Moss, placed seventh on the best-dressed list, while also placing fifth in the worst-dressed list.
Cameron also made it to sixth on the worst-dressed list, along with his second-place finish in the best-dressed list.
Prince Harry also made it on the list — the first royal to be included in the poll — placing 10th, with GQ describing him as "the sartorial world's favourite Army recruit."
