People have been marveling over Steve Harvey's fashion choices lately, and his recent photoshoot for Paper magazine didn't disappoint.
Styled by Elly Karamoh, Harvey paid homage to fashion pioneer André Leon Talley in the photoshoot, according to HelloBeautiful. In the series of pictures, the comedian is seen smoking a cigar and leaning against a pillar, decked out in a clean white Christian Dior suit paired with custom Alta Moda shoes. The comedian is also draped in a crimson Balenciaga couture shawl and is wearing Yves Saint Laurent sunglasses.
In his interview with Paper, Harvey explained that his wife Marjorie Harvey pushed him to throw out the urban-styled suits he used to wear as the host of Showtime at the Apollo and The Steve Harvey Show.
"She just came home one day and said, 'I'm tired of being married to a pimp,' and I said, 'What the f**k do you mean?' And she said, 'The big suits and all of that.' She got me to narrow my suits down because she said, 'Steve, you're going to go mainstream … you can't walk out there like that.'"
Now, Harvey makes the world stop with his various looks, which were on full display for his feature in Paper.
In another photo, he relaxes in an AMI Alexandre Mattiussi chemise, a Bottega Veneta overcoat, a Tom Ford shirt, Louis Vuitton pants and an H necktie from his own namesake collection.
Harvey said Karamoh taught him about fashion range and not to hold to one look.
"'Range, Mr. Harvey, range. You don't get stuck on this look right here. We have to show range.' And that was because on TV, man, it was hard to get me out of my comfort zone. Shirt, tie, pocket square, suit, three-piece, button-up. That's how I make my money; that's what works," Harvey said.
For his interview with Paper, the comedian was interviewed by actor Michael B. Jordan. Jordan is also currently dating Harvey's stepdaughter, Lori Harvey.
The two men discussed their careers, staying relevant and Harvey's fashionable drip when he hosts Family Feud and Judge Steve Harvey.
Jordan asked the stand-up comedian how his younger self would interpret his sartorial choices today.
"When I see the fashion houses coming out with these bell bottom slacks and wide-legged pants, that's not new. We've had that before. So I would be surprised, man, about the way fashion has turned, but I would not be surprised at the fact that I would like to keep up with it," Harvey said.
