Gordon Brown Named Worst-Dressed Man By GQ (PHOTOS)

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:

LONDON — It's a poll victory, of sorts. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been named the worst-dressed man of the year by the British edition of GQ magazine.

The magazine said Brown, who faces an election this year, is "anything but a prime example of British style." Brown's signature look is a dark suit, slightly rumpled.

Wild-haired comedian Russell Brand was second on the worst-dressed list, while French President Nicolas Sarkozy was third.

"Twilight" heartthrob Robert Pattinson was named best-dressed man by the magazine on Monday.

The best-dressed top 10 also includes the members of reunited boy band Take That, James Bond star Daniel Craig and the dapper animated star of the movie "Fantastic Mr. Fox," voiced by George Clooney.

Quick Poll

How do you rate Gordon Brown's style?

GQ is right. He is the worst-dressed man.

GQ is too harsh. Brown is no stylista, but I can think of worst-dressed men.

I fully disagree. Brown's style is adorably British.

Not only that, he's a bonehead.

At least he's not vain like his conservative opponent who changes his outfit at least three times a day.

Brown's fashion sense is as bad as his governing decisions.

At least the sleeves of his boxy, conservative suits are the right length. Unlike GW Bush, the truly worst dressed chief exec ever.

He is not poorly dressed at all. Not everyone is a 25-year old actor. For some a lot of examples of bad clothes just look through a copy of GQ.

I think he qualifies for 'worst jaw-line ever'.

GQ has never been to the beach towns in Southern California. Sloppy is an upgrade.

His head looks like it's about to slide down his chest.

Give me a break.
How poorly dressed can a politician be in a $2000 suit?

I don't know who's more pompous...the politician or the critic.

Bunch of hooey!

Sorry GQ. I have to disagree. Canadian conservative PM Stephen Harper has Gordon Brown beat by a mile when it comes to worst dressed.
