Johnny Depp has never been one for playing it safe. His preference for off-beat movie roles has earned him a reputation as one of the industry's best actors, and that same free spirit now looks set to make him a bonafide style icon.

Over the past few weeks Johnny has made some unforgettable fashion statements as he hit red carpets around the world to promote his latest film Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.Indeed the influence of several years living in Paris seemed to be having an effect when he stepped out at Claridges Hotel in London wearing a beret and striped brown jacket complete with wallet chains dangling from his belt-loop.

That same French headdress made another appearance a few weeks later in Billingsgate Market, although this time it was complemented by a wide-collared shirt and retro-style blue suit. The movie's first LA screening was a rather more chocolatey affair, however, with the leading man sporting a cocoa-coloured blazer and brown Fedora hat.

Given that he always like to stay one step ahead of the latest trends, Johnny also takes care with his choices of footwear. Thirties-style two-tone shoes have been de rigueurat recent events, while those famously brown eyes have been keeping their cool behind a variety of purple and blue-lensed shades.

In the film's promotional poster the 42-year-old is in a rather more formal, albeit equally striking, mood. Willy Wonka, it seems, prefers to make a more refined impression with a tailored velvet coat, top hat and cane.
