Why: He was in the news for splitting from his former boy band, One Direction; then, for dating top model Gigi Hadid; later, for their steamy music video, Pillow Talk, a certain Vogue cover they did together and soon, Zayn became the sexiest man of the year. We’re not surprised, really. With a voice like that and lyrics that spur all the right feels in all the right places, he has the whole world—women, mostly—at his feet.
9. Prince Harry
Who: Prince of Wales
Where: United Kingdom
Why: From being the typical bad boy born with a silver spoon, who went around the world, dating hot women, having all the fun and being caught at all the wrong places, doing the wrong things, this was possibly the year that Prince Harry officially arrived. I honestly feel though that the man never got due credit; especially over his goodie brother who always got the nicer reviews from the people. Prince Harry has done more good and charity in the world this year than you would save for your retirement in all your life. Yes, he has the money; but, so do many others who don’t. This year he actually went around fulfilling his Princely duties—from raising money for charity at a stock exchange to opening up about his mother’s death and from being taken seriously as just an honest young lad who’s also a do-gooder to dating (and probably settling down with) Meghan Markle. Yes, the Prince has finally been realized.
10. Kanye West
Who: Hollywood Rapper and Musician
Where: United States
Why: Mr West has ruffled more than a few feathers this year. Some of them, good; others, not so good. From his first ever fashion show to his scandalous music video showing top notch personalities, including his own wife, naked—Kanye went there, did that, came back and rapped about it. And then, he went on to win awards for his music. That’s how you don’t give a damn, show people the invisible finger and get the world to look at you like you’re royalty.
11. Brad Pitt
Who: Hollywood Actor
Where: United States
Why: He did it again. No, not a shirtless stunt, or a great Benjamin Button-esque movie, no. He got yet another divorce. But, it was much more than that. This year, all anyone talked about was the infamous Brangelina split—a split no one ever thought would happen; given that theirs was a quintessential drama-filled romance that ended with kids, a family, a marriage and a white picket fence. Only, it didn’t really end like that. It got murky and real.
