Timberlake tops 'GQ' best dressed list

Justin Timberlake has topped the '10 Most Stylish Men in America' list compiled by GQ magazine.

The 'SexyBack' singer was given the accolade because of his impact on the fashion world.

The publication claimed that Timberlake is willing to take risks and has a "knack for targeting trends". The increased popularity of hats, three-piece suits, skinny ties and beards were also credited to him.

Speaking to the magazine, he revealed that Kate Moss was one of his style icons because she "could put a barrel on and it would be some sort of a statement".

Other men on the list included Kanye West, T.I, Jason Schwartzman, hotelier Andre Balazs and photographer Alexi Lubomirski.

Timberlake's William Rest fashion line will debut at New York Fashion Week today.
