‘Give Your Daughter Back Her Pants’: Fans Roast Steve Harvey’s Vacation ’Fit

Steve Harvey is being trolled by fans after he shared a photo on Instagram of an outfit he wore while on vacation in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. 

The “Family Feud” host posed on a rooftop wearing a dark gray dress shirt that was half unbuttoned, a black crushed velvet suit jacket, and high-waisted printed pants with a belt wrap.

He completed his outfit with large shades and black dress shoes. 

“Winter in Dubai #DREAMBIG,” Harvey, 63, captioned the post.

The pants were a hot topic amongst fans who cracked endless jokes.

“Auntie Stevie with those pants 😭,” one person joked.

Another wrote, “Not Oprah pants.”

“Give your daughter back her pants,” one fan said.

Another joked that the pants were the same ones worn by “the chefs at Cheesecake Factory.”

This particular outfit was picked out by his stylist Elly Karamoh, whom the comedian tagged in the photo.

Harvey’s recent wardrobe choice was a change from his typical tailored suit outfit, which he credits to his wife, Marjorie.

The talk show host used to wear oversized suits, flashy hats, and shoes to match his hats until Marjorie came into the picture, he revealed in 2016.

On a segment of “The Steve Harvey Show,” a woman said she wanted to change her boyfriend’s wardrobe, and Harvey revealed, “Marjorie changed my style. I was very different. I dressed very different before I married Marjorie Harvey.”

“When we was getting married, Marjorie said, ‘Now, Stevie, where God is going to take you, you have to look different,’” the comedian recalled his wife telling him. “‘God got something for you. You’ve got to listen. He gave you me so I could tell you this here.’”

Harvey pointed to himself and joked, “This how all this sexiness came.” 

The camera then panned to a photo of the couple together and he said, “That girl right there transformed, me but I had the sense to listen.”

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.
