Hugh Jackman has won this year's Male Celebrity Hat Wearers competition, beating Sean Connery, Daniel Day Lewis, Jonny Depp, and Peter Andre.

The list is produced by promotional consortium Luton First.

'Hugh Jackman's outback hat worn in the film 'Australia' not only achieved instant fame on the big screen but also popularised the look for men's casual wear generally,' said Philip Wright, of Luton milliners Walter Wright.

'Jackman has also been seen sporting some stylish trilby and pork pie hats off screen,' he added.

In the female celebrities category, Carla Bruni was named best hat wearer.
