Rolling Stones

Long before the abomination known as Moves Like Jagger (Maroon 5 your days are numbered), the rubberfaced Rolling Stones frontman made a different move. He wore lipstick and lavish beauty products and took much more time than most of his male counterparts when getting ready.

Modern day metros like Pharell Williams, David Beckham, Marc Anthony and Orlando Bloom should doff their fedoras to Jagger, the grandfather of metrosexuality and an outstanding individual who championed individuality.
