Gordon Brown was named the worst dressed man of the year.

Arctic Monkey Alex Turner, Take That, Bond star Daniel Craig, the Prince of Wales and even pint-sized Ronnie Corbett made it into GQ's best-dressed list.

But Britain's Prime Minister moved up the rankings from third worst-dressed last year to being the worst-dressed man in the 2010 poll, for being "anything but a prime example of British style".

He was joined by one of his "best friends", French president Nicolas Sarkozy, in 3rd place, and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il 8th.

The magazine declared of heel-wearing Mr Sarkozy: "Perhaps the French president should spend less time worrying about his stature and more time worrying about his style".

The worst-dressed list also includes funnyman Russell Brand in 2nd place London Mayor Boris Johnson 4th for being "Charlie Chaplin... with a touch of Laurel and Hardy, more Hardy than Laurel" and the whole of the Top Gear team 5th.

It is completed by Britain's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan 6th the Match Of The Day team 7th, Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell 9th and strip club boss Peter Stringfellow 10th.

Chat show host Jonathan Ross, who was the worst-dressed man of 2009, escaped the dreaded list this year.

Mr Brown's political foe David Cameron secured a place as one of the top 10 best-dressed, in 8th place.

Others rated for their style include David Beckham 9th, rapper Dizzee Rascal 10th, Jude Law 11th, David Walliams 13th, Sir Elton John 14th, Daniel Day-Lewis 15th, actor Michael Sheen 23rd, racing champion Jenson Button 24th, Bill Nighy 25th, and the Wire stars Idris Elba and Dominic West 26th.

Robert Pattinson, the 23-year-old Twilight actor, tops the best-dressed list which sees last year's victor DJ Mark Ronson plummet from first place to number 30.

Prince Charles falls from 5th place to 36th, and Corbett is number 46, while Cheryl Cole's football star husband Ashley is a new entry at 44th.

Singer Grace Jones is also in 42nd despite not being a man, with the magazine commenting: "Name one man who can make the tuxedo look this cool."

The full list, ranked by GQ staff, is in the February issue of GQ magazine out on January 7.
