I do not like woodies at all, and I think modded Grados with protruding wooden cups and overly large earpads look expecially silly. It's all a matter of preference, though
I also dislike the futuristic look of the Sennheiser HD 800 and HD 700.
The STAX SR-009 is definitely a standout, just top notch looks and build quality. Awesome, curved aluminum earcups, grills, leather, soft headband - just a masterpiece. Once you hold this thing in your hand you do not want to let it go. Makes the D7000, HD 800, Omega 2, ED10 etc feel (and look) cheap.
Next up would be the R10 for me Haven't seen or tried this in real life though...
and the Miles Davis Tribute IEMs are also nice (but I can't find an image that's not hosted by a scam site, so I won't put anything up) - I like the Egyptian Pharaoh look.

Yeah the entire 009 assembly is state-of-the-art indeed, shown very well here:
