GQ magazine is giving us a peek today at the cover of their upcoming new issue which will pay tribute to their list of The 25 Most Stylish Men in the World … and wouldn’t you know it but Johnny Depp has been chosen as the magazine’s Most Stylish coverstar:

Johnny Depp – At the Top of His Game

Barney’s Creative Director, Simon Doonan, Demystifies the Icon of Eccentric Cool
“Johnny Depp’s a unicorn—a really glamorous, one-of-a-kind eccentric. Usually guys try to fit in; they don’t want to get criticized. At any red-carpet event, there are going to be guys who look spiffy in their Prada or Armani tuxedos, but you wait for Johnny Depp, because he’s always going to look super-groovy and unconventional. He wears great man jewelry. He doesn’t shy away from color. He’s always peeking through his amazing hair. It doesn’t matter if Johnny Depp’s lying in a ditch—he’s always going to look incredible.”

As much as I love me some Johnny Depp, I don’t usually think of him as particularly stylish. His look is one that is more hobo than chic and I’d be hard-pressed to consider any man who wears leather arm cuffs outside of 1976 on the cutting edge of stylishness. That being said, he does make a pretty coverboy and I do find it funny/entertaining that he is shirtless on the cover of a magazine that lauds his stylishness … so I guess I can’t really complain. I’m anxious to see who else made the list of GQ‘s 25 Most Stylish Men in the World. I’m guessing David Beckham, Tom Ford and Neil Patrick Harris might make that list. Who do YOU think will make the cut?
