subject: Eccentric Celebrity Styles: Male Stars Who Top the List [print this page] We've seen it time and again, and we're sure to see it even more in the future: eccentric celebrity style is here to stay. Indeed, every form of media these days - whether it's television, radio, internet, or print media - seems to cover some aspect of celebrity style, branding stars, for instance, as best or worst dressed. But if there's one category of fashion that truly draws the media's - and public's - attention, it's the downright eccentric. Stars have long been playing the eccentric card - and why not? It gets them noticed, and puts their name on people's lips. But while some stars have managed to incorporate eccentricity into their image, others undoubtedly flop with their unusual fashion sense. What's more, while female celebs seem to have the majority of the fashion police after them, male stars certainly aren't exempt from the process.
So, which male stars have eccentricity on their side, and which should consider hiring more conventionally-minded stylists? There's no better place to find both than in the music industry. Some of music's biggest names are now famed for more than just their music - among them, Elton John, Ozzy Osbourne, Prince, Marilyn Manson, T-Pain, and the late Michael Jackson. But, while many of these musicians are partly "made" by their outlandish stage styles - somewhat justifying an bizarre fashion off the stage too - other music celebs can't claim the same. Chris Daughtry, for example, was spotted at a Grammy awards show in head-to-toe leather - a look that's definitely not "necessary" for his art. Rapper Snoop Dogg arrived at the same prestigious ceremony in a shiny suit and aviator glasses, resembling an astronaut more than a musician. And the latest offender in the category is none other than Adam Lambert, who was seen donning a Goth-meets-sparkle number at the 2010 Grammy awards.
However, musicians aren't the only ones guilty of eccentric fashion gone wrong. Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp certainly fall into this category, leaving the public applauding their acting skills, yet scratching their heads at their bizarre fashion choices. Robert Downey Jr, for example, has attracted baffled stares at his choice in footwear and on more than one occasion. And Johnny Depp, while considered to be one of the most attractive male stars in Hollywood, often opts for the frumpy look. English comedian and actor Russel Brand is another celeb who exemplifies the term "eccentric". Typically in skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, and a waistcoat at a "smart" event, Brand always has heads turning with his rock star-reminiscent style (fully equipped with a colourful array of eccentric mens hoodies). However, like Elton, Ozzy, and Marilyn, Russel Brand's style works in favour of his distinctive image translated: his often-strange fashion choices are usually met with more leniency.
