Peter Andre's new advertising campaign for Fake Bake has raised an important, thought-provoking and highly complex debate in the MyDaily office: are his abs better now, or were they better in days of yore, when unforgettable hits like Mysterious Girl (featuring the even more unforgettable Bubbler Ranx), Flava and I Feel You ruled the hit parade?

Compare and contrast below, plus we have dug out some 1990s Andre classics.

MyDaily's male style crushes

Marlon Brando
 In a plain white tee or a tailored suit, plaid jacket or biker leather, Brando's bad boy attitude and easy sense of style ensured he was one of the top sartorial icons of the 50s.
James Dean
 Because he proved that all a man needs is a white tee and jeans.
Elvis Presley
 Oversized blazers, bad boy leather, glitzy Vegas showman suits - the oft-imitated, never-duplicated Elvis had it all. Not to mention the statement quiff and sideburns.
Frank Sinatra
 Ol' Blue Eyes was always immaculately put-together in his three-piece suits with pocket scarves and tuxes. His style advice? "One half inch of a man’s shirt cuffs should protrude from his jacket sleeve, trousers should fall slightly above the shoe, black is the only appropriate color to wear after dark, vests are better than cummerbunds, and you shouldn’t forget to shine your shoes."
David Bowie
 His style alter-egos have included The Thin White Duke - white shirt, black trousers, waistcoat - and Ziggy Stardust - metallic jumpsuits, spangly unitards, face paint. We love them all.
Mick Jagger
 This rock-n-roll bad boy's flamboyant dandy style - blousy paisley tops, ultra-flared trousers, velvet jackets - was pure 60s and 70s rock god.
Paul Newman
 From slim-cut suits to head-to-toe denim, Newman's American brand of cool mixed outdoor ruggedness with sophisticated charm. And the man could accessorize - check out that travel bag and scarf combo.
Sean Connery
 The 60s Bond looked as good off-set as he did in character - cashmere jumpers, top coats and herringbone suits were all part of his ultra-luxe offscreen style persona.
Steve McQueen
 From ribbed turtlenecks to masculine watches, this actor/racecar driver had effortless, timeless style. His must-have accessory? Classic shades.
Warren Beatty
 You can't be a modern-day Casanova like Warren without some serious style credo. Key to his winning look? The jacket - preferably in leather.
Will Smith
 From his flashy days as a young rapper to his suave, suited-and-booted look, Will's become a style icon for a whole new generation. Including his kids, Jayden and Willow, who are clearly style stars in the making.
George Clooney
 The slightly unbuttoned shirt, the crisp suits, the movie star shades... George Clooney's got smart dressing down to an effortless-looking art form. If only all men could follow suit...
Johnny Depp
 A kooky dresser who likes his accessories, Depp sometimes goes a little too Captain Jack Sparrow with the bells and whistles on the red carpet. But you've got to love a guy who shuns the basic black suit.
David Beckham
 One of the original 'metrosexuals,' Beckham embraces his masculine side but always ensures he's well-groomed while doing it. He's had a few fashion catastrophes over the years - but lately he's been nothing short of picture-perfect.
Barack Obama
 Michelle isn't the only person in the White House whose wardrobe we want to raid. The U.S. President's style is simple and sophisticated - a crisp white shirt, well-cut suit and patterned tie are all he needs.
Brad Pitt
 In leather or tailored suits, sporting facial hair or clean-shaven, with Angelina at his side or all by his lonesome, Brad's effortless style is about  simple, well-cut clothes - and that's why it works. Even when he randomly appears on the carpet with a cane.
Justin Timberlake
 Because anyone who recovers from platinum blonde frosted tips and head-to-toe matching denim to look this good now deserves a mention.
Russell Brand
 What the modern-day lothario should look like, complete with spray-on trousers, exposed chest hair and Chelsea boots.
Kanye West
 Sure, he's worn his share of crazy ensembles (matching his fur coat to then-girlfriend Amber Rose's springs to mind), but the man knows - and loves - fashion. His accessories may be too loud and bold for some - but at least they're always interesting.
Tom Ford
 He's the designer who gave women a renewed sex appeal, and showed men that a suit can be so much more than a plain jacket and shirt - just look at how he plays with pattern and texture. His top style tip? He told Details magazine: "I do most things in a suit - and sometimes even in a tuxedo - and so I’m really comfortable in one."
Joshua Jackson
 He's not only the perfect red carpet accompaniment to his gorgeous girlfriend, Diane Kruger, he's also a style icon in his own right -  whether he's in a tux or denim and a plaid shirt.
Mark Ronson
 Pencil thin suits, brightly hued monochromatic looks and skinny ties make up this music producer's everyday style. His trainer collection also happens to be unbeatable.
Orlando Bloom
 Maybe supermodel wife Miranda's A-star style has rubbed off on him, but Orlando's boho aesthetic - layered knits one day, leather bomber the next - gets top marks in our books.
Daniel Craig
 Elegant, classic, tailored - just like James Bond, Daniel's style is impeccable.
Prince Harry
 Who can resist a bit of posh boy dressing? Harry's style sense had Colonel Barry Jenkins advising troops to smarten up like the Prince Charming.
Robert Pattinson
 He can do greasy and unkempt and he can rock a coloured suit. Most impressively, this guy can put a style on gf Kristen Stewart's face.
Ryan Gosling
 Undoubtedly 2011's most dapper gent, Ryan works modern tailoring to maximum effect. His trademark? A well-cut suit, in a non-trad hue, like this green Gucci suit he wore to the Ides of March premiere in September 2011.
Matt Smith
 With his hipster-meets-dandy style credentials, the Dr. Who star is one to watch.
Ed Westwick
 Like his alter-ego on Gossip Girl, Chuck Bass, Ed always dresses to impress and is often spotted in tailored jackets and loafers.
Douglas Booth
 We're most excited to see how Burberry model-turned-actor Douglas Booth's style develops over the years. Hipster-meets-high-fashion, his appeal lies in looking scruffy-yet-polished at the same time.
Sir Laurence Olivier
 The man could wear an ascot convincingly, or a three-piece suit with statement specs and a pocket kerchief. Style-wise, he always played the part of the perfect British gent.
