D'Angelo

What hot-blooded human, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, can forget D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" music video? The glistening, sweat-dribbled skin. The rippling abs and pectorals. The exemplary grooming. I was only about eleven years old when the video dropped in 2000 (stop GASPING, America!), but the mind cannot unsee things like that. "That" being D'Angelo's superhuman physique in barest form with the camera dipping to just the most TV-appropriate latitude.

Unfortunately, masterpieces though that single and video were, we didn't see much of D'Angelo after "Untitled." That all may be about to change now, though, as D makes a major comeback, hell-bent on resurrecting neo-soul and furthering his image from just "that Naked Guy" with his first interview in nearly 12 years and a menswear-clad accompanying editorial spread in the latest issue of GQ.

Ezra Miller is only 19 years old, but since starring in Beware the Gonzo alongside fellow MTV Style favorite Zoe Kravitz, we've been smitten with the dude's early on-set acting chops and mysterious charm. Ez resurfaced bigger than ever with last year's acclaimed We Need To Talk About Kevin, but it's the forth-coming release of the film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower that has us looking at Ezra as a rising style star.

Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez

Holy power couples! Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez may have the world under their glitter magic teen pop spell, but don't let their button noses fool you. Biebs and Sel are savvy business giants and have each landed features in Forbes magazine's celebrity issue. Bieber receives top honors as #3 on the mag's Celebrity 100 list (just below Jennifer Lopez and Oprah) AND the issue's cover boy, while Sel gets her own story, lauding her as one of the latest major celebrity entrepreneurs. These two are always cropping up on our radar, working hard on their next project. Whether it's music or movies or fashion or fragrances, we're acutely aware of how eyeballs-deep they are in the business of it all. Or at least, we thought we were. Bieber in the boardroom or Selena talking "value proposition" are just not things we've ever pictured before, but after seeing these teenagers in office-ready business casual, it's all starting to gel.

Paul Wesley Mr. Porter

Paul Wesley for Mr. Porter.

Truth be told, it's HARD to dress well in the summer. We want our outfit to be cute but not totally sweat-inducing, and when it comes to dudes, it's not much different. I mean, how many more sweltering months will have to endure spotting the dreaded tee and jorts combo all over Brooklyn? *winces* Well, hopefully not much longer thanks to the men's fashion experts over at Mr Porter. They showed us the ins and outs of hot (heh) summer duds with the help of The Vampire Diaries' Paul Wesley. Me-owww. They styled the actor in some seriously stunning ensembles that we want out boyfriends (and BFFs!) to cop ASAP. First up—kelly green pants by Jil Sander! I know it sounds crazy, but bright colored trousers are a super simple way to transform a typical outfit to totally head-turning look. Also, hai color blocking, only THE biggest trend happening right now. Think of the possibilities! Paul styled his bold pants with a black and white striped A.P.C. sweater and a breezy combed-back 'do. For a more dressed-up look, Paul sported a white Acne tee under a sleek gray Carven jacket, and cork wedge Burberry Prorsum lace-ups.

Justin Bieber for "GQ" magazine.

If you weren't already made painfully aware by the cacophonic ladycries heard 'round the world on March 1 (tears of joy and misery alike depending on which side of the age barrier the affected party might lie), Justin Bieber is 18 years old, which means he's technically an adult. The topic of Bieber's burgeoning manhood (and task of representing that pictorially) has been broached by magazines before, but so far, the editorial bridge-crossing from "Baby" to "Boyfriend" (err, Manfriend??) hasn't been quite as effective as GQ's latest offering.

Early this month, Chicago's RSVP Gallery launched their hotly anticipated collaboration with one of the rap game's brightest young rookies, A$AP Rocky. The R$VPA$AP capsule collection consists of tees, tanks, and accessories and is slowly starting to trickle onto RSVP's ecommerce site. The range of streetwear follows a spring-ready black-and-mint color palette featuring elements of bandana paisley and varsity details throughout.

Harry Style, Mick Jagger

Harry Styles may audition for the role of Mick Jagger in "Exile On Main St" biopic.

One Direction's premiere album has been out scant two months (debuting at #1 no less), and due to their mammoth success, the group is already making plans for their 2013 summer tour. Yes, 2013. As in next summer. More than a full calendar year away. Clearly conquering the music industry, it seems one Directioner might be making moves to cross over into film. According to People.co.uk, heartthrob Harry Styles may be thinking about auditioning to play Mick Jagger in an upcoming Rolling Stones biopic. Swoonworthy stage appeal aside, there is definitely a physical likeness there, but the role of Mick Jagger would be as much about embodying the legend's character as confidently carrying Mick's unmistakable steez. Do we think Harry can do it?

Zac Efron shows his Lakers some love.
Photo: Splash News

Guys (and girls) everywhere, break out your pencils and take note: Zac Efron is here to teach us all a major lesson in sports style. The actor turned out to support his L.A. Lakers as they took on the Denver Nuggets this weekend wearing the home team's purple and gold colors. Sounds like every other basketball fan in the universe, right? WRONG. Rather than rocking the tired mesh jersey look (or even worse, a jersey over a white t-shirt...yikes), he opted for a vintage-inspired tee printed with Kobe Bryant's face, peeking out from under a couple of layers. He also showed his support with a Lakers cap, but kept the rest of his outfit pretty low-key with cool dude closet staples like a plaid shirt, leather jacket, and basic white sneakers. Clearly he's traded the polished pompadour look for a little bit of scruff, and we love it.

Sometimes life just isn't fair you guys. :'( Those were the thoughts swirling in my broken brain/resulting in worrisome <3 beats when I was invited to spend a rainy afternoon at the dream-on-toast Gabe Saporta's East Village bachelor pad on his day off. When the crazily charismatic Cobra Starship frontman kindly offered me a glass of water, I obliged because, TBH, this gay needed a cool-down. *Gulp* The over 6-foot-tall piping hot glass of Smart water himself lives quite the jet-setting rockstar life, (DUH), as seen in the just-released video for Cobra Starship's latest electro banger, "1Nite", in which viewers get their groupie voyeuristic thrills on as the band brings their fist-pumping friendly act around the globe and makes the coolest home-video EVS, involving an underground Japanese rave replete with pelvic-thrusting dancers, no less.

Jay-Z may outfit Baby Blue Ivy in Jeremy Scott wings, but when it comes to his own footwear, Hov has taken a keen liking to buddy Kanye West's Nike collab kicks. The dude wears these Air Yeezy 2 sneakers EVERYWHERE. We've spied Jigga rocking these glow-in-the-dark soles from this swanky D'usse Cognac launch party to the stage at SXSW, and even on the beach!
