Bond star Daniel Craig has been named Britain’s best-dressed man – and comic Russell Brand the worst.

Men’s style bible GQ has published its annual list of stylish celebrities.

Prince Harry is the first royal to make it into the top 10.

Craig topped the league thanks to his sharp-suited look in Casino Royale.

“No Bond since Sean Connery has worn it better. It works because the 007 uniform seems like an upgrade of what Craig would naturally wear,” GQ said.

Tory leader David Cameron was second.

The magazine praised him as “a politician who understands the news agenda is set as much by appearance as it is by words”.

Children of Men star Clive Owen was third, followed by Little Britain’s David Walliams, actor Jude Law and footballer David Beckham.

Pete Doherty was a surprise entry in seventh place.

Russell Brand was eighth, with GQ saying: “Some can’t stick him but to others he’s British exuberance encapsulated.”

Designer Tom Ford was ninth and Prince Harry 10th. GQ called the young royal “the sartorial world’s favourite Army recruit”.

And Harry drew praise from designer brand Mulberry’s creative director Stuart Vevers, who dubbed his look “modern and classic with a hint of rock ’n’ roll”.

He came 21 places ahead of brother William.

The top 50 features boyband Take That (number 12), Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho (14), Doctor Who star David Tennant (35), veteran rocker Rod Stewart (39) and singer Robbie Williams (40).

The magazine also named and shamed Britain’s worst-dressed celebrities.

Russell Brand was top, followed by Chancellor Gordon Brown.

The list also features Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell, TV presenter Vernon Kay, comic Ricky Gervais and Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson.
