‘Is That a Kilt?’: Steve Harvey’s Fans Trash His ‘Loud Green’ Getup in Latest IG Post

It looks like sharp dresser Steve Harvey recently committed a fashion faux pas.

The “Kings of Comedy” comedian shared a throwback video of himself trying on a green bubble vest that he wore at the start of the new year. However, the vest Harvey wore was originally paired with a long green cardigan coat and pair of slacks.

He asked fans for their thoughts on the coat, writing in his Instagram caption, “So I wore the green vest on New Years but I passed on the coat.. Was this a opportunity missed or no? #tbt”

Several fans were confused by Harvey’s wardrobe choice, while others dragged him.

“Is that a kilt,” one fan asked. “Look like u wearing my velvet couch 😂”

Another wrote, “Man it ain’t St Patty’s day yet.”

A third added, “U right steve pass on that ,loud green coat😢. No.. looking like a Tibetan woman glad it was missed🤣…you wore what should have been worn.”

“He look like he the biggest supporter of the Celtics. Steve u gone too far with all that damn green and that vest with coat 🥴”

The 63-year-old talk show host has always been known for his peculiar fashion style.

Harvey used to wear his signature baggy suits until he married his wife Marjorie Harvey. She apparently upgraded his style and transformed him into the sharp dressing man fans know today.

“Marjorie changed my style,” he said on the “Steve Harvey” show — cancelled in 2017. “You couldn’t tell me nothing. I was as butterfly as I could be. My pants was this wide; all my shoes had to match my hats.

He added, “That girl right there transformed me, but I had the sense to listen. I ain’t gone be on no game show, I wouldn’t have no talk show, they not putting that on tv. She saw that, she changed all that.”

Marjorie celebrated her husband’s 63rd birthday last month with a sexy photo of them both dressed in white. She wrote in her caption, “Happy birthday baby 😘”

Fans gushed over their relationship and reminded Steve how lucky he was to have his wife.

“Oh y’all just showing all the way off… Happy birthday Unk 🎂 ! This is grown and sexy vibes,” a fan wrote at the time.

Another added, “Awww happy birthday Steve!!! And this pic soooo dam sexxxyy 🔥🔥 I love this couple. He’s truly lucky to have her”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
