Men's celebrity style icons

The Idris Elba Style Lookbook

Hollywood is in no short supply of men who either nail the red carpet (your Goslings, your Reynolds) or who make top drawer off-duty style look effortless (props to Chris Pratt and Nick Jonas). However there’s only one man in Tinseltown who glides just as smoothly between formalwear and casual cool as he does between his A-list roles and his DJ career.

Thanks to a winning combination of undeniable on-screen presence and off-screen charm, Idris Elba is consistently the sharpest dresser on the block. Whether it’s Stringer Bell’s crisp white shirts or Luther’s staple leather jackets and overcoats, Idris’s Oscar-worthy tailoring or his much-hyped collab with Superdry, he moves from smart to casual to somewhere in the middle with kickboxer precision (yeah – he does that, too).
