Larry David, the iconic star and creator of HBO’s hit show “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” is known for his sharp wit and no-holds-barred commentary on a variety of topics. But in a recent midseries episode, David turned his critical eye towards fashion, taking aim at his frenemy Susie’s choice of attire at a fancy gathering.
As Susie arrives wearing a top hat and morning coat, David can’t help but make a quip, introducing her as Abraham Lincoln to the amusement of onlookers. Susie, not one to mince words, fires back with a stink eye, questioning David’s fashion sense.
Throughout his career, David has used fashion as a tool to dissect human behavior and social norms. From his days on “Seinfeld” to his current role on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” David has never shied away from calling out fashion faux pas and sartorial missteps.
His own signature style, a mix of polo shirts, tan trousers, and baseball caps, reflects his desire to blend in while also standing out in Hollywood circles. David’s fashion philosophy is simple: less is more, and one nice item at a time is all you need to make a statement.
But David’s critiques go beyond just personal style. He uses fashion to comment on societal norms, class anxieties, and even sexism. In one episode, he offers constructive criticism to his office assistant, suggesting she dress more professionally. And in another, he helps an escort improve her business by changing her outfit to something more discreet.
Whether he’s poking fun at a friend’s pretentious tunic or questioning a real estate agent’s claim about a cashmere sweater, David’s fashion critiques are always on point. And as “Curb Your Enthusiasm” wraps up its final season, fans can expect more hilarious and insightful commentary on the world of fashion from the one and only Larry David.
