LONDON: He may be just eight years old but when it comes to style, Romeo Beckham is already following in his father’s footsteps. The England star’s second son figures in a list of Britain’s best-dressed men.

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.” Other debutants on GQ magazine’s best-dressed list include Prince William and Prince Harry while star Aaron Johnson, 20, topped the countdown, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Romeo, who is 26th on the list, is described by experts as ‘the celebrity of the future’ and last year, signed a deal for his own fashion label.

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!”

Prince Harry, another new entry in the style rankings, beats his older brother by coming fifth, with experts crediting the fact that 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, “I like it when Prince William goes dandy. He’s got the proper wardrobe when they do the hunting thing. They kill that!”

Others in the best-dressed list are Matt Smith of “Doctor Who” (12), “Little Britain” star David Walliams at 11, David Beckham at 16 and Prime Minister David Cameron at 20.

Best-dressed winner Aaron Johnson scooped the first place from last year’s winner, Twilight heart-throb Robert Pattinson.

Elsewhere in the coveted annual list, “X Factor” host Dermot O’Leary and Simon Cowell, who ranks at 43.
