Sharp-Dressed Man

In July, basketball star LeBron James co-hosted the 2007 ESPY sports awards with comedian Jimmy Kimmel. Though Mr. Kimmel did a fine job, it was Mr. James whose many costume changes became the main attraction. The highlights of his wardrobe included two sharp, double-breasted suits, a casual jacket with jeans, and a postshow sweater-and-slacks combination. Whether Mr. James listened to some solid sartorial advice or picked out his clothes himself, he set an attractive example for how versatile and tasteful menswear can be.

Lost in America

When it was announced in January that soccer star David Beckham would be joining the L.A. Galaxy, a match made in heaven was born: Victoria Beckham and Los Angeles. The body, the tan, the sunglasses — it all made so much sense. So why then has she so often turned up here in New York? Whether she’s launching her clothing and accessories brand at Saks or posing her way through the Marc Jacobs show, Ms. Beckham has a habit of using this town as her personal backdrop. And as long as New York remains the center of fashion and media, Ms. Beckham is likely to be dropping by — very much announced.
