The writer, actor and all-round star of Fleabag wore a custom-made statement suit to the Golden Globes in January 2020. The Ralph & Russo suit was bought by an anonymous buyer for the equivalent of US$30,725 on eBay, raising money for the relief effort after the devastating Australian bush fires.

James Bond’s suits are a major factor in his reputation as the best-dressed spy around. It’s therefore frankly surprising that the two-piece dinner suit designed by Tom Ford and worn by Daniel Craig as Bond in Spectre hasn’t earned a place in the top three on this list. Especially since the suit is instantly recognisable as the one worn in the scene where Bond has dinner on the train in Morocco (and gets into a subsequent fight, of course). The words “Daniel Craig, Bond 24” are reportedly embroidered inside.

8. The Duke of Windsor – US$40,625
