Top 10: Our favourite men with ponytails

Back to story
A lot of men could take a page out of the late Heath Ledger's hair book. Though the talented actor left us too soon - and his portrayal of the greasy, yellow-maned Joker haunts our dreams - he did a fedora-bun combo like no other. Here, the actor looked effortlessly chic attending an Alberta Ferretti boat party at the 2007 Venice Film Festival.
Take your pony out on the town! Pretty-as-pie Jared Leto is a natural for the 'do, and he made it work at a number of seemingly unnatural venues: Awards shows. Here, the 'Dallas Buyers Club' star attended a viewing party with his perfect hairline in full view thanks to a slicked-back bun.
It all started in 1994, when Brad Pitt played a tender-hearted vampire with a sleek, straight 'tail. Between roles the superstar has debuted every incarnation of bun and pony ever since, including this messy number at the World War Z premiere in Australia.
Like Brad Pitt before him, Chris's coiffure makes being a dad look mighty cool! The dreamy actor and wife Elsa Pataky just welcomed twin boys - we wonder how soon he'll pass his hair sensibilities on to his sons!
Gavin Rossdale had no time to primp before this 2009 benefit concert - but he did have time to accessorize! The perfect compliment to a leather choker and grungy vocals? A ponytail, of course.
Though they're no longer together (and we don't think the hair was to blame!), Russell Crowe married his wife of a decade with his blond locks swept back into a pony, though the version he wore at the 'Body of Lies' premiere in 2008 was a tad more limp.
David Beckhams ever-changing hair was always a feast for spectators' eyes before he retired from soccer, and we're particularly fond of his blond ambition. Here, the H&M model and then-captain looked cool as a cucumber thanks to his pretty platinum pony.
When curly hair is pulled back one discovers a very special kind of tail, one resembling a pom-pom. Orlando Bloom paraded his poof of a pony at the 2005 premiere of 'Elizabethtown' in Venice.
King of the silver-fox style, Karl Lagerfeld matched his entire ensemble to his greyed locks while chatting with actresses prior to his Spring-Summer 2014 show in Paris. Really, who else could kill it with such a voluminous and hoary mane?
Ah the bad-boy 'do - Colin Farrell could presumably be straight off a night in an Irish pub. And yet, somehow, the 'Dead Man Down' star - here at the film's Hollywood premiere - looks cleaner and more put-together with his hair out of his eyes, even with such edgy styling.
