Usually, we would be gathering to watch Steve Harvey on Family Feud with our friends and family right after a day’s work. However, it’s his fashion that’s brought us here today. His most recent outfits went viral on all social media platforms and sent the media into a frenzy. The beloved TV host traveled to Paris and showed the internet that it’s not just his comedic and charming manner that we should be paying attention to, but that his style is also worthy of discussion.

The first outfit that bubbled a trending topic on the internet was a three-piece denim Dolce & Gabbana suit paired with suede chelsea boots. For some, they didn’t quite understand or like the look at first and jumped to criticism, but the digital fashion critics quickly slid in to confirm that the Canadian tuxedo was indeed a look — in the best way. It was a well-tailored classic. However, people aren’t used to seeing Harvey outside of a traditional suit and tie. Yet, the looks that followed after the Canadian tux certified that Mr. Harvey will be exploring new fashion grounds.

Steve Harvey is a name that has rung bells since the ‘90’s and we’ve known him to be a natural comedian, an actor, and an amazing television host, but never an inspiration for fashion. However, it’s never too late to reintroduce yourself, but what’s changed and who’s behind this reintroduction? His stylist, Elly Karamoh. 

Karamoh first joined Harvey’s team two years ago, but most recently they’ve embarked on a new trajectory. “I think from the beginning until now there’s been a big change, but not necessarily on the look, more so Mr. Harvey is open to a lot more now,” Karamoh says. “At one point, he felt like society put him in a box as a businessman and thought he had to become more conservative. And I said at the end of the day, you are a superstar.”

In Harvey’s era of being a stand-up comedian, his stage ensembles consisted of vibrant suits in a baggy cut (an appropriate fit for the time), and not too long ago Elly reminisced on those days and how he admired his client’s swag at the time, which led Harvey expressing that he missed wearing color. Karamoh, who was born and raised in Paris, morphed his love for sophistication, sartorialism, and class with Mr. Harvey’s recent request to add color back into the mix. “I created a portfolio of all his past suits from his King Of Comedy days, and we remade them with Dolce & Gabbana,” says Karamoh.

“When I presented Mr. Harvey with more high fashion, I wanted to increase it little by little,” Karamoh explained. “So, we started with Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria, and then custom Ralph Lauren, and then Tom Ford runway, and then more and more I wanted to get closer to what’s happening today.” A hint at the most recent sightings of Harvey in Bottega Veneta.
