Eddie Redmayne in Gant Rugger at the "Peter and Alice" after party

I think no one would challenge me when I say he was the best dressed guy of 2012. Thanks to his huge 'Les Mis' press tour we got to see him in a bunch of very different outfits. My favourite thing about his style is how he mixes together classic British elements and tailoring with modern slim fits and contemporary accessories. If anyone is a great icon of British style, it's definitely him.
Last week Eddie was spotted leaving the "Peter and Alice" play after party in London wearing a great outfit of different shades of blue contrasting with his olive green trousers. The stand-out piece was the beautiful baby blue cable knit jumper by Gant Rugger. I have talked about how much I love the brand in the past. Their jumpers and plaid shirts are amongst my favourites – I am, in fact, wearing a Gant Rugger jumper right now as I type this.

Most Stylish of the Week: Ryan Gosling is back, in Gucci velvet

As far as I'm concerned, any week in style is a great one as long as Ryan Gosling is out and about. The actor started promoting 'The Place Beyond the Pines' this week and he did so as he usually does – in style. Ryan wore a deep greyish green velvet two-button suit y Gucci (no one does velvet like them). He kept the rest of the outfit classic with black shoes and tie and a white shirt that allowed the suit to shine (in more than one way).
Joshua Jackson managed to dodge Diane Kruger for a couple of seconds and prove he is just a stylish – if only we didn't get distracted with his blonde girlfriend when they're together... He wore a beautiful 3-piece electric blue suit, which felt young and fresh thanks to the tie-less situation and the brown accents of the belt and the shoes.
Mark Ronson started the daring sartorial choices way before Ryan Gosling did, which is why I have always been a fan of his style. This week he rocked a double-chested green jacket, which he wore with a slim black shirt and trousers. He finished it off with – my favourite – Raf Simons' gold-chain black lace-up shoes.
The other Ryan – Ryan Reynolds, that is – is quickly becoming an icon of effortlessly chic preppy style. This week he wore the classic chinos and navy coat we've seen him in before with a perfect double layer of henley and cardigan. He looks so cool he makes Burger King look like Balthazar's takeout.
Justin Theroux has almost made it onto this weekly post many times, which is why I made room for him this time. While his tough rockstar look is nothing I would normally wear the guy really understands the importance of good fit and, more importantly, of texture. It's quite simply badass.
Another actor who has really been excelling lately is Daniel Craig who, once again, took casual chic to a whole new level of coolness. Another great example of how important a good fit it.

Fight the blues with blue

I'm not one of those people who gets very depressed in winter and just wishes for it to be over and for summer to return. On the contrary, I am a huge fan of winter. It's the time to be cozy and chilled and, most importantly, to wrap up. This means you can actually have a lot more fun getting dressed every day.
Looking at this picture of Eddie Redmayne dressed head to toe in Burberry it occurred to me that I have been wearing a lot of blue, especially navy, so far this season. I try to combine different shades and different textures to keep the looks interesting. It's just such a great colour for the winter because it's dark and it feels cozy but it's not as lacking in any kind of joy as black. Though both colours can look super chic when properly combined! I've also been wearing a lot of black and blue.
And so I've had a look at Mr Porter to see which blue Burberry pieces I'd pair with each other, Redmayne style. I started with the Prorsum wool trousers because I loved the texture and the half formal half informal design. I would wear them with a shirt in a lighter shade of blue –I chose this Prorsum one because the chambray fabric gives it a casual feel but the pleated details at the front keep it smart. I would finish up the look with a navy blazer like this washed cotton Burberry Brit one to go out for dinner or with this quilted bomber jacket for an every day cool ensemble.
