Spot the iridescent flares of this louche lizard in Hampstead when he’s not jetting around the world on tour – or as a Gucci muse. Harry, 25, is a soulful sort – his favourite author is Haruki Murakami and he writes songs about being sad.
At six-foot-four, top rugby player Maro Itoje – who many predict will be England captain one day – is instantly recognisable. The Old Harrovian is 25 and something of an intellectual – he read politics at SOAS and is a sucker for a good documentary.

Son of German billionaire industrialist Christoph Henkel, Paul, 23, loves schnitzel. The NYU graduate is rising up the ranks in the art world – he opened a gallery in New York this year. Whether he’s skiing in Colorado or sunbathing in Mustique, Paul’s affable, easy charm is a hit with everyone.

Thirty-one-year-old fast-fashion scion Umar (his dad set up Boohoo and he founded PrettyLittleThing) stands out due to his outré clothing choices and bleached hair. A former amateur boxer, he loves working out – the more extreme, the better. He also enjoys chess.
