Here are male celebrities from across the world who made it to Vanity Fair's prestigious International Best-Dressed List for 2012!

Yesterday, we brought you the famous women who made it to Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed List 2012.

Today we bring you the men who figured in a round-up of fashionistas from across entertainment, fashion, business and politics in this, the magazine's 73rd annual round-up. Take a look!

Jay-Z

The millionaire hiphop mogul transforms from rap star to debonaire businessman with ease, his luxurious wardrobe never failing to match up to the occasion. Jay-Z's easygoing, effortless style is much appreciated.

Tom Brady

It's usually his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen who's the toast of the fashion world, so it must have been a pleasant surprise for American footballer Tom to make the cut. His clothes are as easy on the eyes as he is!

Bill Cunningham

This distinguished New York Times photographer is 83, but when he's captured on the other side of the lens, he manages to make quite an impact courtesy his colourful designer duds.

Prince Harry

His sister-in-law topped the Vanity Fair list, but Prince Harry's not that far behind in the style stakes -- he's ditched the stuffy suits and prim brogues that most royals favour, in preference of a smart but easygoing vibe.

The only other male royal to make it besides Harry was Prince Heinrich von und zu Furstenberg, an entrepreneur of noble German lineage.

Morley Safer

Canadian reporter and correspondent for CBS News Morley Safer is quite the distinguished gentleman and always well-turned-out. Whoever said fashion is only for the young?

Richard E Grant

British movieman Grant, with his taste for exquisitely tailored clothes, is among the magazine's best-dressed too.

Arpad Busson

Uma Thurman's billionaire financier beau seems to draw as many eyeballs on the red carpet as she does -- you'll never catch Arpad Busson with a hair out of place!

Carlos Souza

An internationally recognised style icon, Souza is the PR director of Italian fashion house Valentino and he prefers eclectic, individualistic ensembles to boring tuxedos -- for which he gets two thumbs up.

Eddie Redmayne

British actor and star of My Week With Marilyn, Eddie is also a model -- one who dresses in designerwear even when he's off-duty!

Ike Ude

Nigerian-born artist Ike Ude's aesthetic sensibilities reflect in his wardrobe, for which reason he was honoured by Vanity Fair this year.

Descended from a a line of Italian textile tycoons and former chairman of Valentino, Marzotto is known for his classic, understated style. Currently, he heads French label Vionnet.

Robert Rabensteiner

Fashion editor and stylist at L'Uomo Vogue, Rabensteiner is another heavyweight in the world of high-end apparel -- and you'd know it just by looking at him!

Victor Cruz

Tom Brady wasn't the only footballer to make it to the list -- fellow American footballer Victor Cruz is quite the dapper dresser and managed to score too.

Matt Lauer

American TV journalist and host of NBC's The Today Show, Matt is usually spiffy in tailored suits.

Ozwald Boateng

His forte is menswear, so we figure British designer Ozwald Boateng knows a thing or two about dressing up! Unlike some eccentric couturiers, he prefers the smart and stylish route to eliciting jaw-dropping reactions (read Marc Jacobs in a skirt!).

Jean Pigozzi

Paris-born businessman, art collector, philanthropist, photographer and now one of the best-dressed men in the world, Jean Pigozzi usually adds a few quirky touches to his look, but it seems to pay off.

Vito Schnabel

And finally we come to this handsome New York-based art dealer, who dresses like a sophisticated man of the world. Vito is the son of American artist and award-winning filmmaker Julian Schnabel, who directed The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
