It's been quite the year for Benedict Cumberbatch.

When he's not making impressive films, attending award shows and taking his mom to look at flowers, the world's most stylish TV detective has made his fans happy, thanks to his many drool-worthy appearances in 2014. (Yes, joking around with a penguin is totally hot.)

The best part of all this? The year isn't even over yet, which means there will be plenty more opportunities to gaze at the British actor, who will be making lots of red carpet rounds at movie premieres and film festivals (hello, TIFF!).

So, to celebrate the "Sherlock" star's incredible style, we take a look at the 38-year-old's hottest moments of 2014 so far.
