Fashionable fellow expected to host last round (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dude

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fashionable fellow' is the definition.
'dude' can be an answer for 'fellow' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'fashionable' bit.

'expected to host last round' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (similar in meaning).
'to host' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are hosted or welcomed).
'last' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'round' is 'd'.
'due' enclosing 'd' is 'DUDE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dude that I've seen before include "(Cool) chap?" , "Man (US colloq.)" , "Stylish chap" , "Stylish and confidant man" , "Stylish man (US)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
