Crowe closes the R letter of the male directory inside the Male Fashion Celebrities Q-Z range, alongside Richard Gere, Rob Lowe and Robert Downey Jr. A fashion celebrity in this guide is a person with celebrity status who is often watched and judged for what they wear, and Crowe's listed roles are heavily costumed ones — a Roman general, a naval captain of 2003's Master and Commander, Robin Hood and Javert — which is why his entries are followed for period dress as much as for red carpet appearances.
