    I’m just so happy you’ve included Eddie Redmayne! I saw him in a play in London and have been so excited watching his rise to fame with My Week With Marilyn and Les Miserables! You should look up some of his Burberry modeling shoots. Yum!

      I will definitely look up his Burberry shoots – I loved him in My Week with Marilyn and Les Mis as well. And with all those gorgeous suits he wore on the Les Mis press tour, it would have been wrong to exclude him from the best dressed list! Thanks for commenting, Amanda. ❤
