GQ: Rob was number 20 out of 25 for the most stylish men of 2012. GQ had this to say - "Pattinson's year was spent crisscrossing the globe in promotion of three flicks, giving the actor plenty of opportunities to break out his preferred Gucci suits, which he did in rapid, colorful succession. But it's not just tonal suit and shirt pairings the now former vampire got right; his grunge 2.0 getups have us wondering how much flannel we'll see on the Fall '13 runways."
Forbes: Rob is 5th out of 10 top grossing actors of 2012, his films earning $793 million.
Elle UK: Rob came in number 3 for 2012 Men of the Year. They had this to say - "You don’t have to be a Twihard to fall for R-Patz. Brooding, mysterious, and just a little bit vulnerable."
InStyle UK: Tied with Prince Harry for 2012's most eligible bachelor. Rob was voted the most ideal groom. HA! Naturally. He's ideal at everything. ;)
Rob is still in the running for eOnline's Celeb of the Year and Leading Man of the Year seems to still be collecting votes. I don't understand eOnline other than them wanting to cause online riots and gather hits. Click HERE for Celeb of the Year Quarter finals and HERE for Leading Man.
Cosmopolis keeps making year-end lists too! We'll post the next round of them soon. Enjoy the holidays!
POLL: GQ bows down and pays respect to Robert Pattinson's Kenzo shirt. Do you agree?
Rob has a wild streak when it comes to his red carpet looks. Black leather pants and red velvet jacket, anyone? Rob hasn't gone that extreme in ages but I love it when he breaks out something that's fashionably controversial in the fandom.
GQ gave Rob props for his bold choice at the Sydney fan event for Breaking Dawn Part 2:
Sometimes we just gotta bow down and pay our respect. Usually this involves a really well-executed print shirt. Often Pattinson's involved, too.
That's a pretty nice compliment for a shirt so many of you shivered at and while it may have looked like it was more on the vintage side, that's just not the case.
You know CJ was all over this look from the green-hued suit to the designer shirt. Excerpt from The Fashion Court:
The 26-year-old English actor braved the rain and rocked the red carpet wearing Kenzo tonight at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia as he arrived to an enormous crowd of screaming fans at the first official fan event to celebrate “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″, the final installment of the record-breaking vampire movie franchise.
You know, I knew Robert was willing to take a chance with fashion but, this dude is really on a whole other level. He busted out a in-your-face printed shirt and a camouflage moss green suit.
Granted it’s not a obvious bright green, but Robert still flipped my promo world upside down today with this two-button blazer and trousers that he partnered with the bold medallion printed shirt ($325, barneys.com) from the Fall 2012 Menswear Collection.I know this is going to get mixed reviews as it’s so ‘out there’ and ‘loud’, but I kinda dig it — along with the fact that he takes a risk.
Visit TFC to find the purchase link for the Medallion Print Kenzo shirt and to know about Rob's footwear.
So some fashion gurus are into Rob's medallion magic and after almost a week of letting it settle into your Rob brain, what do you think??
I love when Rob wins "best" awards online because then the press is positive about him. There were good write ups about his Glamour win so lets see if we can get him another win.
Oh yes...a man that dresses like that DEFINITELY should be first. Rob was #1 online and #4 in the magazine for 2012...don't ask me how that works. Let's get him to #1 for 2013 :) Click HERE to start voting!
Robert Pattinson Retains His Title As GQ's Best Dressed Man Of The Year
Not really a surprise to us, right?
Rob looks surprised but he shouldn't
1. Robert Pattinson
(Last year No.1) The artist occasionally known as Edward Cullen hasn't put a foot wrong on the red carpet, wearing Gucci to his last three Twilight film premieres, as well as at the launch of a certain pachyderm based circus drama. Most impressively, he avoided a stake through the heart from the masses of boy-band fans by securing 27 per cent of the vote.
If you want to see who else made it in the top ten, check it out over at GQ.com Thanks Sky for the tip
It's all Russian to me but hey I can enjoy looking at the pretty pictures. Apparently it's not so much an interview with Rob, it's more of an article with director's/actors' quotes and opinions on Rob's films/career mixed in with a compilation of old interviews or old quotes from actors about Bel Ami. (Thanks to AdeleStew for that info)
A touching tale from GQ: Saying goodbye to Robert Pattinson's sex hair
This was TOO funny and made me lemsip nod...
R.I.P. The Best Hair That Ever Was, 2008-2011
By Andrew Richdale:
I'll never forget when it came into my life. It was one of those glass-half-empty days when you have a pounding headache and the spins and you're beginning to believe that myth about your body slowly coasting downward after 21 may be true. I was eating cold pizza. My DVR was broken, and, so, I was also not fast-forwarding through the commercials when it started—a Volvo ad. What kind of Volvo? I couldn't tell you. You see, it wasn't the pretty car my eyes were fixed on. It was Robert Pattinson—specifically his hair region. I bit my knuckles. I can't remember if I said "shit" audibly or just to myself, but that moment signified a new beginning.
There are dudes out there, girl-liking ones mind you, who dig looking at pictures of other dudes, say, oiled up on Venice Beach throwing 450 pounds of iron over their bare chest while grunting. Motivation. This was the same. Except my guy was clothed, fully and decently, and had a mane that could put any other juiced-up coif to shame. I was sure of it.
It's foolish the things we do out of desperation, but, me being a dreamer, I tried to grow some of my own. One summer, I gave up cutting my hair only to discover that mine grows out rather than down and is littered with cowlicks. Still, I pushed on through fro-dom against my better judgment, reminding myself regularly of the goal. After reading Pattinson forwent shampooing, I went days, weeks, hell, even a month (true story) without washing so I could build up a nice, malleable coat. I'm certain I smelled—miserably. I saw an interview wherein Kristen Stewart revealed he pulled and twisted his righteously-splayed locks in the mirror and so, I, too attempted to become the master of my do, twirling and knotting with reckless abandon until someone asked me what that nest on my head was and I died a little inside and later gave in to my barber.
From then on, I was put in my place—still I watched Pattinson's mane grow and evolve over the course of its few short years with us. At times it was a pompadour of restrained heights. At others, it was a finger-messed mop of prophetically tousled matter. In its last days it was quieter and more subdued, short and textured with an oily sheen of immortal glory. Of course, its days were numbered.
It's funny—looking at a wild head like that you always had the feeling it might live fast and die young. Things that great never stick around. But that didn't make its departure any less tragic or absurd. It's been almost a week, but I can't stop thinking of that image. Mangled and dismembered. Half-shaven like Rosie. Paraded around at fucking Comic-Con like a prize! No.
Still, we'll always have that moment, crystallized in time, accessible through YouTube— that Twilight bastard exiting some four-door, hair styled as if by accident, every strand quivering in the wind, godlike, forever young.
So poetic there at the end. *sigh* Of course we have to "pour a little drink out" for the sex hair...
Daniel also admitted he doesn't think his fans view him in the same was as 'Twilight' devotees do Robert Pattinson because they have seen him grow up on screen.
He explained to the British edition of GQ magazine: "There's more of a sexual energy behind 'Twilight' fans. Because people have mostly grown up with me, they tend to think of me as an older brother kind of figure. Whereas I think Rob is the sex symbol. And also, I guess, he's out there more than I am, going to parties and things.
"I think everyone goes to more parties than me, so it's not really a big competition."
Well, Dan, it's not about him going to parties and things. He's just existing. That's all Rob needs to do. Exist. Let's look at him exist some more...
Who's going to see Harry Potter take a bow this weekend? Who's gone already? I got tix for Sunday. :) HP is breaking some of our Twilight box office records but they should. It's the last movie. Just like Breaking Dawn will break the records being set now. ;)
