John F. Kennedy Jr., who tragically died ten years ago today, was a man that women loved and men admired for his good looks, charm and impeccable man-chic style.
Whether snapped in a tuxedo at a black-tie society affair; or a jacket and cuffed pants crossing the Big Apple on his bicycle; or his trademark preppy get-ups at the beach, by the boat, or toying with his plane -- John-John's fashion was second to none of any male style icon.
Celebrity Stylist Phillip Bloch met JFK Jr. shooting a cover for his magazine George at Barbara Streisand's house "just before he passed away." Recalling his style Phillip tells us, "He was so at ease, his personality and style matched."
"He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, but he was elegant and chic," Bloch said, noting the second generation hunk's "tall and statuesque" physique.
Although Bloch admits, "I usually go for the brothas myself, but when [JFK JR] walked in the room I just went,' 'Ooh that man is gorgeous."

In regards to Barbara's choices, Bloch, the fashion savvy genius behind Halle Berry and other A-listers award winning styles tells us, "That is just really weird! It is kind of a little disrespectful."
"I believe that as a celebrity you have a certain image to maintain. To wear the same dress to two highly publicized events in a week is odd, don't scream when you can whisper."
Likewise Hushi Mortezaie, creative director of Trash & Luxury, says "Regardless of fame, I would say twice is the maximum for statement dressing. Some looks are so memorable and amazing that it's essential to bring them back. Basics are irrelevant in this case - you can wear them over and over." (Continue)

A statuesque Tyra Banks, beaming loud and proud to support the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Media Awards on Saturday in NYC, was clad in a tuxedo inspired pant suit and all. Tyra is not known for rocking pant suits at award shows, but she must have thought it befitting for the GLAAD Awards.
