HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN
Wonder what makes Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith star Hayden Christensen, 24, so appealing? Just ask his costar, Yoda. "More handsome is he than many in the galaxy – the skin and the hair, as well, glow with the dewy sheen of youth. Better is this sex appeal than even the Force. Bottled it could be, and sold at men's cosmetics counters."
ORLANDO BLOOM
"I don't really let the sex-symbol thing be a part of my consciousness," says 28-year-old British actor Orlando Bloom. "A friend once said to me, 'Dude, just chill. There will always be a new actor that young girls will worship. ... It's a small window that you'll be that guy, so enjoy it while it's here.' "
STEPHEN CHOW
Though Stephen Chow, the 43-year-old star of the movie Kung Fu Hustle, is known for his prowess as an action hero, the Hong Kong native wouldn't mind getting romantic on the big screen. "I'd like to do a love story with Nicole Kidman. She is gorgeous," he says. "She's taller than me, but I can wear heels!"
JAKE GYLLENHAAL
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 24, is sensitive – and smart. What's the former Ivy Leaguer (who attended Columbia University) reading now? "A book called Salt: A World History, and it's all about salt. I have a weird fascination with specifics. I like the idea of learning a lot about one thing."
JAMIE FOXX
"Jamie loves having his friends around," says longtime pal Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon of Jamie Foxx, 37. "I think he feeds off that. He's still the same crazy, fun, everybody's-always-at-his-house, normal guy." From private L.A. parties to Miami clubs like Prime One Twelve and the Delano Hotel in South Beach, where Foxx has been filming Miami Vice with Colin Farrell, the Oscar winner is up for a good time.
COLIN FARRELL
Colin Farrell, 29, likes ladies of all ages. He partied with Lindsay Lohan, 18, after she hosted SNL in December. At the London premiere of Alexander, Farrell declared costar Angelina Jolie, 30, his "perfect woman." And in May, British actress Dame Eileen Atkins, 71, told the press that Farrell tried to bed her in 2004, a few weeks before her 70th birthday. She turned him down, but told reporters, "It cheered me up enormously."

TOM CRUISE
"He's a 42-year-old man who looks great for his age and with the new girlfriend and the wardrobe to match, he's going for a youthful but sophisticated look," says PEOPLE style director Susan Kaufman of Tom Cruise. The actor prefers body-conscious clothing like well-tailored suits and fitted leather jackets and jeans. "His look is always pulled together."
BRAD PITT
"Brad Pitt is a guy who knows fashion and has always worn the best of menswear – like Prada and Dolce & Gabbana suits," says Kaufman. When he isn't dressed up, he enjoys a rough-and-tumble look with scruffy leather and beaten-up boots. "He's a bit of a rebel," says Kaufman.
JAMIE FOXX
Oscar winner Jamie Foxx spares no expense when it comes to couture. "He's had suits made on London's tony Saville Row," says Kaufman of the actor. "He appreciates the good cut of a well-tailored piece." And in his casual wear, he loves accessorizing – especially with funky hats.
ASHTON KUTCHER
What's Ashton Kutcher's best accessory? Girlfriend Demi Moore. "He looks best when he's with Demi," says Kaufman of the actor. His style hallmark: experimentation. The former model "has worn skirts! He can carry off a lot of things that most men wouldn't think of wearing in a million years."
USHER
"This is a guy who really cares about his clothes," says Kaufman of Grammy-winning singer Usher. From a dandy white suit with matching sneakers to a preppy sweater and jeans, Usher "mixes it up. He can go very Frank Sinatra or hip-hop."
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Pop star Justin Timberlake is eons away from the matching boy-band outfits he once sported. "He's got a little of that cool rock boy in him with the leather jacket and the vintage tee," says Kaufman. But also, "it's about being comfortable and relaxed" – and even on the golf course, he still looks hip.
JUDE LAW
Debonair is a word that epitomizes Jude Law's style. "Very few celebrities besides Jude Law would wear a scarf as the neckwear with an evening suit" – and pull it off, says Kaufman. Even when he throws on a cap and a button-down shirt, "he just knows how to pull disparate elements together and make it his own style."
