THE NEPTUNES - PHARRELL IS WORLD'S BEST DRESSED MAN

THE NEPTUNES frontman PHARRELL WILLIAMS has been voted the Best Dressed Men in the World, according to the annual poll in men's magazine Esquire.

The survey saw Williams beat perennial style icons including ANDRE 3000, who grabbed the top spot last year (04) and GEORGE CLOONEY, CHRIS MARTIN, JUDE LAW and ALEX KAPRANOS to number one, even though the modest singer insists he simply aims for "comfort".

The 32-year-old star says, "It's never about whether I'm the best-dressed guy in the room.

"I never go, 'Oh, I'm killin' 'em tonight!' Instead it's about comfort and the flow."

Esquire hails Williams' knack for "injecting dressed-up luxury into hip-hop style and thereby influencing a new generation of guys to consider more than just a pair of baggy jeans a reflection of their youthful vitality".
