The famous star from The Office was always seen as a bit of a nerd (a loveable one, of course).

If you look back through time, you’ll see Steve Carell quietly establishing himself as one of the most fashionable men in Hollywood. Now his efforts are finally getting the attention they deserve, and we couldn’t be happier. If you still haven’t clued in to this man’s amazing sense of style, don’t worry.

10. Steve’s New Casual Look
People are really starting to go crazy over Steve Carell’s new look, and it’s pretty clear why. Outfits like this one show how Steve Carell has really upped his game as far as his fashion sense goes, and now he’s scoring major style points. Women are starting to go crazy over him in the same way they might go wild for Ryan Gosling. Yes, really. This outfit is so incredible – it’s sharp, refined, and totally stylish. Also on display is his new silver hairstyle, which people love.
Steve’s response to people loving his new style was characteristically hilarious, and he quipped, “I am so sick of people just looking at me for my physical attributes. It’s just genetic, there’s nothing I can do.” The comedian might make people laugh, but he can look great while doing it too.
9. They’re Calling Him The New James Bond
One of the biggest moments in the career of any entertainer is the moment they get their own star on Hollywood Blvd. Very few actors and entertainers can ever aspire to this dream, and it’s a true honor. Steve Carell got his star in 2016, and it must have been a huge moment for the famous actor. You can tell by the expression on his face that it meant a lot to him.
The way he dressed also says a lot about how big of a moment this was in his career. He looked really stylish in a grey suit, which really made him seem like the star he is. It’s clear that Steve Carell wanted to look his best on this big day, and he did just that. The tie and chic glasses are two accessories that really tie this formal outfit together perfectly.
8. A True Gentleman
Here’s a picture from a semi-recent article in GQ which featured Steve Carell. It’s clear that the magazine wanted Carell to look his best for this article, and they really managed to do that. But Steve Carell brings his own style to the table, and this really comes through here. Sometimes it’s not the clothes you’re wearing, but how you wear them, and Steve Carell really knows how to make an outfit shine.
Steve is up to date with all the latest fashion trends, but he’s also up to date with the latest trends in comedy. When asked whether he thought modern comedy was mean, he answered, “It can be, you know. And I think in recent years that seems to be sort of a trend. That it’s not funny unless it’s at the expense of something or someone. It’s kind of refreshing to me when something goes the opposite direction. I like it.”
7. His Formal Look Is On Point
Steve Carell’s go-to style seems to be pretty formal. A suit is always a safe option to look great, and more often than not, this is what Steve decides to wear. But a suit is hardly an easy look to pull off. Many have commented that modern guys have forgotten how to wear a suit, and it’s something which is being lost to time. But one man who clearly still remember how to rock a suit is Steve Carell.
Speaking about his public image, Carell commented, “It’s not like I’m a wallflower. I think I’m fairly average. I don’t stand out. I don’t attempt to stand out in any way. I’m not out there. I’m not somebody who’s constantly entertaining. I’m not the life of the party. But on the other hand,” he pauses for a moment, “I am at the party.”
6. He Is Rocking The Silver Hair
The main thing that people have most likely noticed about Steve Carell’s new look is that he’s rocking the silver hair. Not many can claim to be a part of the “silver fox” club, but this actor is definitely one of them. It’s hard to remember someone who has looked better with silver hair, and Steve’s style points just went way up as a result. Tons of people are reacting on social media, and now he’s in the spotlight.
Joking on a talk show about joining the so-called “Silver Fox Club,” Carell said, “There’s a bracelet you get, and mine says ‘Steve.’ It’s exciting. And on the other side of the bracelet it says ‘Hunk of Man Meat.’ You know what? My wife finally said she’s in love with me. I’m very excited.”
5. Looking Bo In An Impeccable Suit
One of Steve Carell’s best and most recent films was The Big Short. This film was about the financial crash of 2008, and Carell’s performance was universally praised. This picture was taken at the premiere of this film, and Carell’s outfit looks incredible. This suit looks incredibly refined, and the subtle plaid pattern on the suit is further evidence of the actor’s great sense of style.
People celebrate the actor these days, but he admits that this wasn’t always the case: “Like most people, I have painful memories of trying to fit in as a child. I wore, said, and did pretty much what everyone else did. My goal was to not stand out in any way. I aggressively homogenized myself. I did not aspire to be ‘cool.’ That was the lofty stuff of a Clint Bajakian, or a Paul Slye — classmates of mine. I wanted only to avoid being ‘uncool.’ A second-tier matador doesn’t worry about vanquishing the bull; he concentrates on survival. So was my approach to ‘coolness.'”
4. A Silver Fox Is Born
As you can see from the pictures posted so far, it’s clear to see that Steve Carell is a very stylish man. Although some of the pictures in this article are from the time previous to the actor’s new “silver fox” look, the main talking point these days is Carell’s choice to rock the grey hair in recent years. And it has proven to be a great choice, making a real impact on his style.
And his grey hair seems to making not only his head and face look great, but the rest of his outfit too. Steve obviously knows what he’s doing, because now he’s building his entire outfit around the “silver fox” theme. As you can see from this outfit, grey is the focal point, not just with his hair but that amazing blazer, as well as the cool checkered grey shirt.
3. He Can Look Great When He Wants To
Here’s another picture from an issue of GQ a while ago, and as you can see he’s dressed to impress. This is a few years back, so Steve Carell doesn’t have that characteristic grey hair that he has now, but he’s still quite stylish. His black hair goes well with this dark blue outfit, proving that Steve always had the ability to match his outfit to his features, and this is nothing new.
Talking about style, Carell commented, “And then it happened. I found myself in the men’s clothing section of Target (a store I cannot leave without making at least a nominal purchase). There they were: cargo pants. One hundred percent cotton, three colors from which to choose (tan, dark tan, and khaki), and pockets. Lots and lots of pockets. I wanted these pants. But wait. Cargo pants? Surely I couldn’t be serious. These were not what other semi-cool men my age wore. I wasn’t a world explorer, or a photographer. I didn’t work at a zoo.”
2. Giving Ryan Gosling A Run For His Money
Here’s another great look from Steve Carell, and it’s pictures like these that prove that the veteran actor is indeed our next style icon. Who wouldn’t want to look like this? But let’s be clear, it’s not easy to look this good. A huge amount of thought has to go into each outfit to get a style IQ this high. And in this area, Steve Carell is quietly proving himself to be a fashion genius.
We’ve already mentioned the fact that Steve Carell is beginning to steal the spotlight from other Hollywood heartthrobs like Ryan Gosling. This outfit again focuses heavily on grey, highlighting his beautiful new hair color. The dark blue also goes great with the checkered grey blazer he’s wearing, and the end result is a simple yet powerful look that certainly got a lot of attention.
1. Rocking The Shades
There’s no doubt that Steve Carell is looking super cool in this photo. You just can’t deny it. This is one of the most recent photos of the star actor, and it’s a big reason why so many people are obsessing over his style right now. One of the main reasons he looks so chic is because of his shades. Those classically styled sunglasses totally suit him, and make him look incredible.
It’s interesting to note Carell’s characters are rarely “cool,” and one of his most famous is Micheal Scott from The Office. Speaking about this character, Carell stated, “He thinks people think he’s cool. He thinks people like him and think he’s funny and charming, but he’s really none of those things. And incidentally, when you say everyone knows a Michael Scott, I guess the rule of thumb – Ricky Gervais told me this, in regards to the character that he played, David Brent in the BBC version of The Office – is that if you don’t know a Michael Scott, then you are Michael Scott.”
