I haven't featured a style icon for almost a year now but after stumbling upon this little fella on the web yesterday, I was so inspired to do one again. Yes, I'm talking about a kid and I'm pretty sure you'll agree with me in declaring him a man of style. Introducing: five-year old Alonso Mateo...

He's that con artist-turned-FBI consultant in TV's White Collar . Although I'm not an avid viewer, I was instantly drawn to how Matt Bomer's character, Neal Caffrey, dressed up. He was always sharply dressed, mostly in suits. GQ would be very approving of this getup. His suits always fit him perfectly, with everything close to the body and his pants with just about the right length. He's mostly seen wearing a tie bar and cufflinks, and of course, his trademark fedora. Check out some of his looks in the series:

What? Yes, Steven Tyler. He obviously does not fit the bill of the suited type or the GQ man but hey, the man's got style. And he's got swag, baby! Since joining American Idol , Tyler, together with fellow judge Jennifer Lopez, have glammed up the singing competition with their flair for fashion ( forget Randy; he's hopeless ). And I am more than happy to wait for what he's gonna wear each episode.

Without a doubt there are a lot of good singers on The Voice , but this classically-trained guy who sings with an operatic voice caught my attention. Sure Chris Mann of Team Xtina has this great voice but I also noticed he was all suited-up during the blind auditions. Fast forward to the battle round, he wore a suit jacket to rehearsals. Rehearsals, baby, rehearsals! I thought, okay, this certainly is how he dresses. During the battle round, however, it wasn't a suit that he wore but a leather jacket, a purple tie and maroon pants. So the guy isn't strictly the suit-and-tie type after all. I thought it played a part in his trying to heed his coach's advice to loosen up. Nevertheless, he looked good.

Source Man of the hour Ryan Gosling has really evolved in terms of style. Never mind that he wasn't named Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine; the dude looks really good right now, good enough that a lot of people, groups, and magazines alike take notice. In fact, it's hard to think that he was once like this:

I just read this afternoon the news that Francesco Cominelli was found dead in his apartment on Oct. 7. To the uninitiated, he was fashion editor of Vogue Hommes International and was, without a doubt, a true style master. I took notice of him through photos of countless fashion weeks the world over, always standing out in a crowd. He had an impeccable fashion sense, never trendy and always unique. He never failed to surprise me with his knack for mixing different patterns and textures, even making what everybody else would call fashion faux pas look really good. Take this look, for instance, which is probably my most favorite of the guy (taken by Tommy Ton). Who in his right mind would tuck an outdated leather jacket into stone-washed jeans? But he did. And he made it look really cool! An extremely daring move, yes, and he definitely owned it, man! He always exuded confidence in his outfits, never afraid to go against the tide, constantly reinventing. I wish I were tha...
