SHARP-DRESSED MAN

Usher has an unabashed passion for fashion. The stylish singer (from left: jaunty in 2002; casual cool in June; dressed to thrill in 2003) owns thousands of hats and picks up a new one "every time I hit the mall." He's a clotheshorse too: In 2004, he spent $10,000 on a shopping spree at the Girbaud flagship store in New York City.
