"He's a complete individual," Nick Sullivan, Esquire's fashion director, said Tuesday. "But that's really the point." Andre 3000 is the usually over-the-top dressed half of hip-hip duo OutKast. Some of the 30-year-old's fashion outings include: a lime green jacket at the 2004 Grammy Awards, candy apple red fur for the VH1 Big in 2003 ceremony and a pink-on-pink ensemble for the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. "He's probably worn his most outrageous when he's in a video or on stage," said Sullivan, who said Esquire's list is more about personal style than a celebrity's stylist's style. "What we photographed him in is very much what he wanted to wear." Andre 3000 sports several different and subtle looks in the magazine's spread including a double-breasted suede trench coat by Michael Kors, a cashmere sweater by the Ralph Lauren Purple Label and corduroy trousers by AndreBenjamin, the rapper's own clothing line. Sources of his fashion inspiration include clothes from period flicks such as "Legends of the Fall" and "The Great Gatsby" and the "old men" in his neighborhood. "They're kind of like a uniform, which I've always been into," he says in the September issue of Esquire. "To me, that's real style, anything that feels comfortable and expresses your personality and makes you stand a little taller." Although the magazine has compiled best-dressed lists in the past, this year's list is the first worldwide affair. Other best-dressed men include "Today" co-anchor ****, Prince Felipe of Spain, Afghanistan (news - web sites) President Hamid Karzai and San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom. The list was compiled through a set of criteria by a panel of fashion experts and Esquire editors.

^^^ well now.. ****.. that might be a bit harsh.. He is not the BEST dresser, but he is definitely the most creative... it depends on what the criteria was.. and wtf judged?
These people might also say that Elephant man has the best hair..
I really like Andre's style, but BEST dressed?.... naw
I guess how I feel is I resepct Andre and give him props cause he goes against the norms, and just does him. He wears the craziest outfits, the craziest wigs, but he can do that and get away with it. He is not influenced by the fashion styles of today cause that aint him...and he wears what represents his eccentric style. So by all means, I think Andre should keep doing him, but lets be serious....to be named WORLD'S BEST DRESSES be a group of " Fashion Experts " no less... he shouldnt have been a serious contender to receive a title like that. But hey since Andre did Hey Ya, white people have fallen in love with him. :roll: And Im guessing that panel of judges were if not all white than mainly white. Now if the award was " Most Eccentric Style " sumthing like that then yeah...that award would fit him perfectly.
