  1. Dwayne Wade is FIONE In dat YELLOW!!!! AYE BABE!!!..haha

    Jay looks fly in his suit too.

    And Obama is still average but kool and i guess sexi with it.

  2. I will always love Jay-Zs swagger! And Dwayne Wade has impeccable style. And Obama, is very conservative!

  3. LEVAN

    Common I believe is the best dressed male…
    he is such an underdog sad.

  4. @3 Common is no longer an underdog, he hit the #1 spot on the billboards. Imma post it in the round up later on today.

    I like Obama’s swagger out of the three pics, but Dwyane is looking fine in the yellow (that’s why I posted it. lol). Jay-Z is fly too.

  5. one tree hill

    Jay-z looks good in that suit but Dwayne looks the flyest out of all them and obama looks aight but he needs 2 step up his game.

  6. WHATEVER

    laughing at Kanye West

  7. WHATEVER

    Oh and ha ha ha No Diddy even thou he can dress I’m just hating right now!

  8. What about Andre 3000???? I think he’s a pretty snazzy dresser…..though it may be a little eccentric………..
    ~SWEETS~

  9. ms_mac

    23? That’s a wierd number. Why not 25 or 50? lol. They musta ran outta men. Sorry Kanye. There’s always the ladies list though.

  10. You people are crazy if you say Wade and Jay beat Barack. There is nothing better then a man in a fine tailored suit. Not baggy pants but fit to shine and show his incrediable prescence. Pimp suits, shoes, and hats are not classy.

  11. Can’t believe they have Tom Brady as #1. I hate the Patriots!

    Go Steelers! LOL

    I think there are lots more men that should’ve been on that list before Jay-Z and Barach.

  12. Okay it was a white list, that is why Jay-Z is above Barack. The ucked thing is that they placed Tom Brady as number one can we say a loud WTF? Are they looking at their overall dress because I seen Brady out and about and its not pleasant. Come on, who doesn’t Essence re-do this list and do not just say someone dresses nice because they are popular look at how they actually dress and not just on a red carpet.

  13. Diana Ross 2.0

    this list is kinda dumb. I’m sorry I love me some tom brady but let’s be all the way real. kanye should be on there because he takes fashion risk and is a trendsetter. just look around DC. these youngins used to never adhere to hollywierd and now everyone wanna dress like a white boy. why isn’t david beckham on the list? or any africans or asians. I don’t know the list just seemed kinda rigged and pointless. EQ, you gotta do better. but…… Senator Obama can not stop gettin publicity. him and his wife are everywhere. love it!

  14. @11 its Barack! …and the ext president of the United States.

  15. Lette

    Damnnnnnn that Dwayne Wade is one fine hunka chocolate!!!!

    Jay-Z may not be the cutest nigga but he sure can dress

  16. BEAUTIFUL

    There is something very sexy about Jay-Z.

  17. hood_shit

    Kanye ain’t FLY; he’s GAY and that’s why he didn’t make the list. Buying out the Louis store don’t make you HOT!

  18. BEAUTY SCHOOL DROP OUT

    All of them look very dapper, there’s nothing like a well-dressed black professional man….D-Wade is so freakin fine…..he got my #1 spot

  19. southernmello

    Tony Parker is on that list is because who’s he is married to, being married to Eva Langoria is reason why he’s on there, cause Tony Parker sometimes is unshaved and don’t even try to dress nice….

  20. LMAO@Kanye for not being on the list. yall know he’s going to buy space in some mag and to a spread just to prove his point right?LOL

    Dwayne Wade is fiyas!! sexual chocolate! hmmm! there’s nothing like a fine black man

  21. JaY Z best dressed?!! Just to comical. If it were not for his black and white I wanna be Scarface game he would have no game at all.

    Why is D Wayde so sexie and so married. Sighs.

    kind.

  22. Tasha

    Ok no diddy, no Kanye, and Tom Brady is #1 WTF? I know it was the best dressed from around the world but damn they could have but somebody else in the mix. Angel we need our own list but I’m sure you have enough to do.

  23. This list is garbage. Cuz, Wayne Brady is not that fly and I certainly think Michael Jordan is still a VERY well dressed man and as much as I hate to admit it because he’s been irking me so much lately, Diddy should have been in the running as well.

  24. People are just not knowing. Jay-Z is sexy, straight up and he really does take pride in his appearance. It’s his intelligence, business savvy and his entire swagger. :)

  25. MR WADE DOES LOOK NICE IN THE YELLOW BUT I VOTED FOR JAY

  26. blackgyrl30

    Jay is soooo sexy!

  27. cherri

    umm no, David Beckham so needs to b up at the top

  28. Dwayne Wade looking real good in that yellow….Jay-Z swagger makes him sexy when he is dressed up….Don’t have much to say about Obama besides the fact that I like his political views….

  29. sxycarmel26

    Love a man that can dress his ass off!

  30. DA TRUTH

    Dwayne Wade is too damn fine!!!!

  31. OLA

    iight ima dude and i always respect other dudes who i think have great style.

    my honest opinion is tom brady really shouldnt have been #1, dude wears clothes, he doesnt “rock” clothes. he has no style/swagger.

    kanye, common, and pharrell SHOULD HAVE MADE THE LIST

    the top 2 guys who i take my style from are solely JAY-Z and DAVID BECKHAM so one of those 2 should’ve been the #1 and #2.

    we all know hov rocks impeccable clothes and has dat swagger w/ it, which makes it that much better but so does beckham. i mean for a british white dude, he’s got impeccable taste. plus im huge fans of both so those are the guys i pattern my style after. the ladies luv the grown man look

  32. Dame

    I am a Jay stan I have always thought he was hot. Tom Brady wtf I hardly see this dude. Puff and Ye should b on da list

  33. Now we talking My talk.. You gotta Always be fly You only have one time to make a First Impression.

  34. QueenBee

    D’Wayne looks as if he smells good. Jay Z looks like a well dressed monkey. And why is Barack on here…but I am sure when he gets suited up…he’s bad

  35. To me these dudes really don’t leave me like….Damn. But Pharrell does dress his ass off, and I have to admit that Kanye tries hard…

  36. late

    @23:
    I’m not sure if u meant D Wayde or Tom Brady, cuz Wayne Brady (the actor/comedian) is certainly not list worthy here.

    Jay knows how to dress, which is good cuz he’s not much to look at in the face department, but after that interview with Angie Martinez posted a few days ago, I see that Beyonce sees something in his personality and wit.

    I don’t see how David Beckham, Kanye West, Diddy, Pharrell, Andre 3000 or Common aren’t all on the list.

    My vote goes to D Wayde, cuz that outfit is killing it, “so fresh and so clean-ly” lol

  37. late

    Oh, and if they were going to add Barack, they could have also added Tiger Woods

  38. I love Barack! Aww, so glad he made the list.

    Kayne can kick rocks. He needs to shut his piehole since nobody cant tell him nothing.

  39. Don't Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

    If D Wade gets any finer it will be against the law! He is SO sexy.

  40. You Know Kayne is gonna go bananas when he reads this, he’s probably in the process of having the list done over, lol!! I never seen Tony Parker dress, so I can’t speak on that, but I wouldn’t except for him to be on the list neither Dwayne Wade, but hey whatever.

  41. IMissTee2U

    I love the way Jigga dresses both casually and when he’s dressed up. Check out some of his old videos when he wore obvious jewelry and Yankee fitteds. He’s stepped the game up as befits his maturity, but he still can rock a cute casual look. So I fuck with him all day on that. As far as Dwayne Wade, think about the fact that he’s 6’9 or so but still puts together a nice look again, he’s nice when he’s casual and dressy and he’s hella cute. They should have added Kobe to the list though because Kobe does take some fashion risks and looks good.
    Tom Brady I’ve seen on the street with model girlfriend of the moment and it’s not that hot. David Beckham should have definitely been ahead of him. George Clooney, too, if we’re going with white guys. Will Smith, c’mon he brings it too.

    Barack is cool, but it’s all suits. Let’s see what his casual game looks like before we can decide. He does wear the suits well, though.

  42. Dwade + me = xxx damn wut an equation He is so deelishis mmmmmm

    Count my vote for Barack

    Jayz…….take ya ova exposed ole lady and go away LOL

  43. tia

    Borack WILL have my vote,but thats not what this is about. JayZ is fresh when he wannabe. But hands down my bookie DWYANE WADE has it and nothin bout him Or any1 else look Pimpish only STYLISH. Bout time black men go beyond white tees and the jail look. GO WADE keep lookin’ sexy and representin chocolate men!

  44. tia

    Im surprised T.I And Andre 3000 arent up there. i guess the few black people up there,we should just b satisfied! still proud of WADE sexie self! MUAH

  45. terrena

    Dwayne Wade is a fine ass boi,He lucs sexxi and very fresh,makin mii body do sumthings,damn.

    JAY-Z GETS MII VOTE!!

  47. Jay doesn’t dress stylish often. I’m surprise he’s on the list, he most have power in the industry then I thought. Barack dress simple-conservative… nothing amazing.

    Kanye, diddy, T.I,and Pharrel should have been on that list.

  48. my bad…How could I forget. Will Smith should have made that list too.

  49. Arshanae

    Wade is definitely lookin sexy in the yellow.

    Jay look fly as well.

    Barack is the only presidential canidate that people find handsome or remotely stylish.

    The list is fill with people I don’t know except for like five people so the list ain’t that important to me.

  50. Dame

    Brittanymo u know Ye is throwing a fit he is going to get on MTV and do a press conference. Lol

  51. Rosie

    That’s what it is Jay!….Looking fly az hell in that D & G…show em what YOU got!!!….

  52. bklyn-bella

    I think that Dwayne wade should have been a little higher on the list. I also think…no I believe that Lebron should have been on the top 10 atleast if he wasn’t on there because that man can dress his ass off!

  53. Summer

    I like Obama, but usually politicians don’t make these lists. They can’t afford to stray too far from the conservative. I was floored that his wife made the best dressed female list. I think someone just got paid off for publicity’s sake or it was political because we can name quite a few that have outshone them this year.

  54. smmb

    I know Diddy is pissed.lol

  55. sassysexychick

    They all look yummy,yum,yum! But i’ve been seeing jay rock fabulous gear on the reg. but dayum dwayne looks so good in his yellow and barack is just deeeeelicious!

    i am confused can we vote on all three?

  56. kander1625

    Jay definitely deserves – his clothes make him look better, and he makes the clothes look better. I love his style.

  57. Jay-z v. ANYONE
    ANYONE will ALWAYS get my vote. Cant stand that mutha…

  58. Yup Kanye bout to go nuts over this….
