Downton's Dan Stevens voted UK's best-dressed man
Show all 19Former Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens has been named Britain's best-dressed man - while the Prince of Wales has pipped his son in the annual list.
Stevens, whose character Matthew Crawley was killed off in a shock exit from the ITV1 costume drama at Christmas, triumphed over heart-throbs Robert Pattinson, Daniel Craig and David Beckham in GQ magazine's annual list.
Brit-winning chart star Ed Sheeran was named the worst-dressed, followed by Labour MP Jon Cruddas and Katie Price's ex, Alex Reid.
The Duke of Cambridge is 37th best-dressed but his father is ranked ahead of him in eighth place, one place behind Twilight star Pattinson.
GQ magazine said William "epitomises true British style", adding: "Has the Duchess of Cambridge upped her husband's fashion game? It would appear so."
But the magazine says of Charles that "despite sticking to a classic uniform, he always looks on trend", adding: "This is a man who knows what he likes, knows how to wear it and sticks with it whatever the prevailing fashions."
It said: "HRH may be bemused at being a fashion icon, but he's proved himself the king of tailoring."
Newly-knighted Tour de France and Olympic cycling champion Sir Bradley Wiggins is a new entry in the list at 30.
Other new names are Homeland star Damian Lewis (12), One Direction singer Zayn Malik (17), cross-dressing artist Grayson Perry (22), and Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock (48).
