Jordan has impeccable style. He can rock a mean suit like no other, and doesn’t shy away from bold colors, textures and stellar detailing to elevate his looks with the help of stylist Ade Samuel. He oozes confidence and charm with every look that his win is a no brainer!

He’s our favorite influencers and celebrities treasured hair slayer, and it’s hard not to rave over the amazing styles he does on them!
