Harry Shum Jr. for GQ Magazine

Posted on Oct 25, 2011 in Fashion

Harry Shum is a blogger’s best friend. Because he’s such a little crowd pleaser that all we have to do is put up these shots from GQ, where he’s been photographed by Mei Tao wearing some really adorably chic little fall getups and mugging for the camera in that Harry Shum Jr. way, and we know the ladies and the Gleeks will all swoon. This is definitely his year and he’s making the most of it. Good for him. There will be diminishing returns the more he does these types of “Aren’t I cute?” editorials, but he’s smart to be rocking them while he can.

And the boy looks great in a suit.

  “Aren’t I cute?” Answer: YES!
  
  He just looks freaking adorable..

Why oh why do they style these guys with the pants so short??? Are they expecting a flood?
- Anonymous
  
  I was wondering about that, too. Maybe it’s a response to the ever-present too-long pants that men wear.

  It makes me think of the classic Dancer/ Actors of Hollywood like Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly – the shorter hem showcases those dancing feet!

  Short – and narrow too! Like drainpipes.

  I don’t know, because it is so not cute.
  
  But at least they’ve cleared up the question on what type of long underwear men should wear under their suits (which I didn’t know was a concern for anyone other than Mormons).

    I think it depends how warm you want to be in the winter. My skinny and cold-susceptible boyfriend swears by long underwear from October to April…
    
    What a fun editorial! You ride that popularity wave!

      I would have liked that long underwear shot a bit more if it had been with silk long johns. Alas, no such luck (
      
      Cute editorial!

  In Asia – especially in Korea, that’s the style right now for pop stars and actors. I HATE IT.

  To show off those fabulous socks, of course! I want all of them. And Harry Shum, Jr. in those long johns.

He’s probably not half my age plus seven, huh? Damn.

He is CUTE. He’s got that dapper, darling, yet-I-want-him air that Neil Patrick Harris and Joseph Gordon-Levitt do so well.
- Sobaika Mirza
  
  He’s 29. I was expecting 18 or something similarly young.
  - http://twitter.com/NC_Meg Megan
    
    I knew Cory Monteith and Mark Salling were 29 but I didn’t know he was too! I was thinking 23-24. Wow.
- Lori
  
  Great comparison. And like Neil Patrick Harris and Joseph Gordon-Levitt you get the feeling he’s a darling in real life too, and if he’s not I don’t want to know.
  
  Love these photos. They’d make great paper dolls.

  I would never kick JGL out of bed, even though I don’t normally go for that super slender body type. There’s just something about him…

  And all of them are song-and-dance men as well. I think that has something to do with it.
- Toto Maya
  
  Damn. I was sitting here thinking, “He’s over 18 right? So it’s not pervy if I lust after him?” And he’s 6 years older than I am.

again with the waders…….enuff already!!

Yummy. I will take one in every suit please. Leave the nylon puffy jacket though, impressive though it is he pulls it off with a normal blazer over the top.
- Anonymous
  
  Insane, right? I’m not saying the look necessarily works, but on anyone else, a puffy nylon vest underneath a blazer would be hilarious.
  - Anonymous
    
    I know! How does he not look ginormous???
    
    They showed way too many suits that look exactly the same to me, though.
Anonymous

He looks great in all these clothes. Glad they were able to work in the obligatory ab shot. That has to be in his contract or something.

Is that camel Ralph Lauren suit the same one Timberlake wore the other day? If so, the way Shum is wearing it works much better.

ETA: He is way too young for me to be commenting on his hotness without making me feel like I need the full Silkwood.

I like everything about this (especially that Tommy Hilfiger vest), and I’ve never watched “Glee”. Thanks for a cheery start to my morning, TLo!

I like the one where he is wearing the least amount of clothing. YUM.

Very cute. I like all the outfits and he wears them well.
What’s with all the short pants, though???
(And thanks for mentioning Glee for those of us who don’t know him!!)
Sara Cougill

I have a soft spot for slightly higher hems on guys who can pull it off. And he can pull it off. Plus, I like that they went the colorful sock route with the high pants. It provides a nice pop of color. It’s geek-chic. Or, I guess I should say gleek-chic?
- Anonymous
  
  Also love the higher-hem-colorful-socks look. It’s very early 1960s, and it looks very cool on slender guys with some style.
  
  He looks great in this editorial!

He is just adorable. And, as I said the last time you featured him, what a beautiful torso!

Oh. My. Dog!

He oozes sexy charm & likeability like nobody else.
I could watch him day & night & more night.

Jebus! If RL Black Label suits are $1600, how much is the Purple Label Collection stuff now?

Flood water pants look silly and too trendy imo. If you’re gonna do it though, socks and shoes have to make a statement…as like done here. He really has a knack for modeling and wears all the clothes quite well.

all the getups are fantastic, also, quite expensive

The Hilfiger vest is adorable, and I so covet the Burberry double breasted peacoat! These Thom Browne shirts are also making me think I need to drop by the Thom Browne store….

He’s a great model — wears the clothes with confidence and flair.
Totally pwnes Timberlake when it comes to wearing a beige suit.

Sometimes he’s a sexass, sometimes he’s straight up mugging the camera, but mostly he’s just the right amount of adorable-hot.

I prefer his “aren’t I adorable” look to his look of deep concern in the previous spread. If his abs are expose, though, it doesn’t really matter what he’s doing with his face.

Dear Mr. Shum

In the first pic, the copy reads: “A double-breasted topcoat will hug your body and keep you warmer.”

FYI: A husky, black middle-aged queen will do the same thing for a lot less money.

Yours In Lust,

He gives great face, and I love that unlike so many actors in a photo shoot, he’s not afraid to move his face and body.

Very adorkable. Love his expression in the second photo. Also love the bright socks further down.

Holy smokes, that is one good looking kid.

He’s too adorable… and, of course, they know their audience and got the all-important open shirt pic sigh…

  It kills me. Like he’s contractually obligated to have at least one bare-chested photo in each shoot, even if it makes no editorial sense. Not that I’m complaining.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_EDI2DLE7DE3YPW2ONIHBWOVHMA ecallaw

He is adorable, and he really can work a suit, but I think those suits are way too short. I get that it’s a look, I just can’t get behind it.

Just watched the video clip. He is every teenaged girl’s dream–a guy who can dance *and* dress cool!

Scratch that: That is every woman’s dream, isn’t it????

So cute. And if the studio floods he’ll be ready.

I’m torn.

Should Harry Shum Jr. wear suits all the time, or be shirtless all the time?

I must ponder this some more.

  He could take off his suits constantly for our viewing pleasure. Best of both worlds…

I’m really not a lover of double-breasted anything, but that topcoat is gorgeous. I’m also loving that Thom Browne plaid shirt.
Harry really looks good in blue. Every shade from the navy to the turquoise really complements his skin color. He’s a handsome dude.
Anonymous

He is totally gorgeous in that camel pinwale cord (tell me it’s not velvet, please) Ralph Lauren suit with the beautiful blue plaid shirt and gray tie. And who looks good in a brown suit anyway? Harry Shum Jr, that’s who!

After Glee is long long gone, I hope he is the one we still are seeing, most talented, and will only get better with age.

But seriously, GQ people, a puffy ski vest under a suit jacket? Really? But I love that Tommy Hilfiger stripey vest. Great to see colors on a guy in a suit.

He’s a cutie-pie.

The trouser hems are short so you can see the socks.

I was scrolling down admiring the clothes when those abs came along and blew me away. Loving the looks. It’s just a shame summer is nearing here in Australia.

Can I go and hug these stylists? They did Darren’s flawless photo shoot too, which I still swoon over.

I thought they almost forgot the ‘no shirt’ pic for a minute there.

He looks like a million bucks except for the shirtless photo in which his abs make him look like a zillion bucks.

I approve of them sneaking those abs into the picture.

They should do more half-naked shots with him, just saying.

Normally, slender Asian men don’t catch my eye in the oh so special way but for whatever reason, this man causes all sorts of movement on the pants. He is just adorable and yet very sexy all at once.

  Maybe because Harry’s not just slender, he’s built. ohohoho

i would have had a big crush on him when i was about nine or ten, right around the time i wouldve had a crush on the other one {whose name escapes me} that looked like emo hello kitty.

Oh…my…sometimes I wish I were a man if only I could look and dress like that. It goes without saying that since “Asian F” he is the best Glee cast-member

While not typically attracted to Asians, I find myself wanting to stalk this man. Forget the suits…I need more long underwear shots! Hello!!

So smart to make the most of this time. Maybe it will catapult him out of Glee when it is done into jobs just as fulfilling.

I love how the gratuitous shot of him in underwear and (more to the point) without a shirt is pitched as a PSA about how to keep warm in a suit.

The shirtless pics from the last editorial didn’t do it for me, but there is something about the caught-getting-dressed aspect here that is giving me fever. FEVER I TELL YOU.

He and and Matt Smith have about cornered the market on the skinny, cool guy stuff. They’re both adorable and interesting to watch. But I bet Harry’s got the better abs!

He’s cute as hell and his body is PERFECT. He makes all these outfits look good, even the ones that would never ever work in reality (ahem, bubble-vest-under-a-suit).
