Robert De Niro And The New Old Man Swag

As 'Larry King Live' draws to a close, Mr. King himself is finally on the receiving end of some questions. The 76-year-old gave Harper's Bazaar some inside info for their September issue-- out on newsstands August 17 --about his own personal style.

Now, I was expecting a statement along the lines of 'I'm a big fan of the multiple pairs of suspenders you see me wearing on television.' However, Mr. Larry King, suspenders and plaid tie in tow, definitely threw me for a loop with his response: 'I like leather.' Don't get me wrong-- to each his own --this  just caught me off guard. 

Larry King actually seems like a pretty hip dude. As he went on to say, 'I like stylish jeans. I like color. Donna Karan gave me a leather jacket that I've worn, and I've got a bright-red Bijan jacket.'

The part where I cringe: 'I love those new sneakers, Sketchers, that give a little lift inside.' 

As far as Lady Gaga goes, King thinks she's refreshing. However, he sites Jane Fonda, Angie Dickinson, and Cameron Diaz as the most stylish people he has ever interviewed.
