Johnny Depp

GQ has named the “50 Most Stylish Men Of The Last 50 Years” and, not surprisingly, Johnny is among them. Here’s GQ’s take on Johnny’s style:

After almost a quarter century in front of the camera, Johnny Depp has shown us everything but himself. Not an easy task when you’ve got those cheekbones, that tousled hair, and an unmitigated youthfulness, which Depp has worked hard to cloak by playing reclusive savants and rock ’n’ roll pirates. But we keep searching, trying to nail down his hobo chic—a style that derives from a life spent kicking around the dusty South and the French countryside. “I don’t think he’s remotely interested in fashion. He’s a complete instigator of fashion,” says Penny Rose, the costume designer who collaborated with the actor to create Pirates of the Caribbean’s randy Jack Sparrow. “His look is always eye-stopping, clever, and completely individual.” Or, like the last two drags on one of his hand-rolled cigarettes, raw and unapologetically gratifying.

What more is there to say about Johnny’s style, except what I’ve already said here before: He makes any piece of clothing he puts on look great!

I can definitely see where Johnny fits in. Who else on this list or anywhere can make anything look good! With Johnny, it’s not a case of “clothes making the man,” but “the man making the clothes!”

Gorgeous as usual is the best way I can describe Johnny’s appearance at the Venice Film Festival yesterday! Johnny was there to present collaborator and friend, Tim Burton, with the career Golden Lion award, and they both looked fabulous, as did Tim’s girlfriend, Helena Bonham Carter.

Johnny wore a white tuxedo, with cream shoes, and Tim was in a black suit, while pregnant Helena wore a beautiful off-the-shoulder gown. Johnny was his usual outgoing self, signing autographs, chatting with fans, and posing for photographers outside for more than ten minutes, before going in to present Tim with the award.

Tim was very appreciative of his award, saying, “I am charmed by this award, which will serve as an inspiration for me forever.” He also joked that it was better than an Oscar, saying the award looked better than “a bald, naked man.”

Johnny Depp and Harry Potter help make it cool for kids to wear glasses! So says the website Telegraph.co.uk. In a report by the College of Optometrists, which polled seven to 16-year-olds, the boy wizard, Harry Potter, and Johnny came in first and second in a list of celebrities who made it easier for kids to wear glasses and not worry about being teased. Also making the list were the Queen, Sir Elton John, Paul O’Grady, Tony Blair, Billie Piper, actor David Tennant as Doctor Who, and Anne Robinson of “The Weakest Link.”

We’ve seen Johnny appear in some offbeat and unusual outfits over the years. More than once I’ve heard someone say that his off-screen costumes were more interesting that what he wore onscreen! What do you think?

Personally, I think Johnny’s one of those truly rare people who can wear anything and make it look good! I’ve seen him in some things that would have awful in anyone else, and yet, with him, you still see Johnny Depp, and the clothes are secondary. The old saying “Clothes make the man” is definitely not true with Johnny! Of course, I’ll be the first to admit I’m anything but objective on this! Following are pictures of some of Johnny’s interesting outfits. Let me hear your opinions.
