If you are ever wondering what to wear to a knighting, look no further than the Oscar-winning actor, who absolutely nailed it.

Sir Daniel Day Lewis was honored Friday at Buckingham Palace for his services in drama. The 57-year-old, who has always been on the best-dressed-list in my heart, took a bended knee in steel gray pants, a crisp white shirt, a polka-dot tie, and (drum roll, please) a tailcoat. The white pocket square peeking out of his breast pocket could make a girl swoon. Even Prince William looks impressed. Take note, boys. --Lauren Hansen
