Future celebrity: Romeo Beckham (front row, third from left), was named 26th on GQ's list of Britain's best-dressed list, with his father David in 16th


He may be just eight years old but Romeo Beckham is already following in his father's footsteps when it comes to style.

The former England captain's middle son has been named on a list of Britain's best-dressed men for the first time - though his dad finished ten places higher.

Other debutants on GQ magazine's Best-Dressed List included Princes William and Harry while Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson, 20, topped the countdown.


Romeo is 26th in the list, with experts describing the Beckhams' second son, who last year signed a deal for his own fashion label, as 'the celebrity of the future'.

David Walker-Smith, menswear director at Selfridges, told GQ: 'He's experimental, quirky and fun, and his style has nothing mini-me about it. It's me-me!'

New entries: Prince Harry and his older brother Prince William finished in fifth and 27th, respectively, both making their debuts on GQ's list


Prince Harry, another new entry in the style rankings, beats his older brother by coming fifth, with experts crediting the fact he 'looks good because he really doesn't care'.

Prince William is also a new entry at 27, with US rapper Pharrell Williams endorsing the future king's style, saying: 'I like it when Prince William goes dandy. He's got all the proper wardrobe when they do the hunting thing. They kill that!'


GQ added: 'Prince William is following in his father's footsteps as a great ambassador for British style.'

Other 2011 Best-Dressed List also features Doctor Who's Matt Smith in 12th, his first time in the poll, with Little Britain star David Walliams at 11, David Beckham at 16 and Prime Minister David Cameron, who has dropped from eighth place last year, at 20.

Best-Dressed winner Johnson, who last year fathered a baby girl with 43-year-old fiancee Sam Taylor-Wood, scooped first place from last year's winner, Twilight heart-throb Robert Pattinson.

Elsewhere in the coveted annual list, X Factor host Dermot O'Leary, a new entry at 40, beats his boss Simon Cowell, who ranks at 43.

The top 50 also includes racing driver Jenson Button (9), British rapper Tinie Tempah (15), Sir Elton John (21), Ray Winstone (28), Jude Law (29), music producer Mark Ronson (34), Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch at 41 and artist David Hockney at 47.

GQ said: 'Our list goes right down to a frighteningly tuned-in (and well-connected) eight-year-old, taking in anyone from actors, aristocrats and hip-hop artists to fashion designers and Formula One drivers along the way.'

Mel Gibson tops the list of Worst-Dressed Men In The World, which also features Jonathan Ross and shadow education secretary Andy Burnham.
