‘Who Wore it Better’: Tiffany Haddish Recreates Eddie Murphy’s Iconic ‘Delirious’ Red Leather Suit

Tiffany Haddish recently channeled her inner Eddie Murphy for her latest outfit selection, and now the comedian wants to know who wore it best. 

During the premiere of her Netflix stand-up comedy series, “They Ready Season 2,” the 41-year-old sported a long-sleeve red leather suit to look like the one Eddie Murphy wore in his iconic 1983 HBO special “Delirious.”

Uploading a side-by-side photo of her and the “Dr. Dolittle” star to her Instagram page on Wednesday, Feb. 3, Tiffany posed the question, “Who wore it better Me or Eddie?”

The post garnered over 145,000 likes from fans who were split on who rocked the legendary look best. Several people opted for Eddie, including one person who wrote, “You look great but Eddie’s is a sign of the times.” Another person echoed those sentiments, saying, “😍 Girl you are stunning and sexy AF but I gotta say Eddie …” That person added, “I was 12 or 13 when he wore that and I have had a crush on him pretty much my whole life since. He was super sexy then and still is now!”

“I love you Tiff. But it’s not who wore it better. But who did it better during the time,” a third expressed. “No shade, but Eddie. Lol.”

However, some told Tiffany that she was comparing apples to oranges. That includes one social media user who chimed in with: “Exactly One is fly, one is sexy.” A fourth wrote, “Why would we even wanna pick Eddie 😂😂😂. Go on with your thick cute self in unicorn red 😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗.”

The “Girl’s Trip” star has been actively improving her health and wellness. Recently, she gave fans an update on her progress, which she partially credited to Luther Freeman’s 30 Day Transformation Team program, which provides individual fitness and nutrition plans. 

In a previous interview, she revealed that after weighing 182 pounds last year around her birthday, she had since lost 40 pounds during the pandemic and another 10 pounds three weeks into the program.

“I’m very skinny, it’s going good,” she said at the time. “I don’t really want to lose any more weight. I want to now just sculpt it all, sculpt off the fat so I can get to the muscle. The goal is to have abs by New Year’s Day! We’ll see.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
