Blackstone’s Schwarzman gets a ‘C’ from Women’s Wear Daily

The next time Stephen Schwarzman is seen dining at The Four Seasons restaurant, he might be concerned patrons will be looking at his feet.

Women’s Wear Daily in its first weekly edition grades eight prominent men on their style. The snarky feature gave Blackstone Group co-founder and CEO Schwarzman a C grade.

The editors prodded the billionaire, “For a man with such short legs and small feet, he needs a shorter blazer and a more fitted pair of pants.”

Schwarzman, 68, often wears clothes like the ones he is wearing in the magazine picture: a dark blue, slightly over-size suit and a light-colored striped shirt with a baby blue tie.

Schwarzman, worth $13 billion, gets a lower grade than quarterback hunk Tim Tebow, who managed a B, and former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, who received only a B-.
