Brian Cox — known for portraying patriarch Logan Roy on the HBO Max drama “Succession” — made a colorful appearance on the latest episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” The drama’s final season is now airing on HBO Max.
While in New York for the show on Monday night, Cox sat down with Colbert in a deep tonal outfit. The Emmy-winning star’s ensemble featured a burnt orange collared jacket with brass buttons, layered atop a deep green Falconeri cashmere sweater; though Cox’s colorway is currently sold out, the $290 Ultrafine style is still available in multiple colors. A set of light blue denim jeans completed his outfit, which was accessorized with ombre orange and gray sunglasses and bright red Apple Watch.

When it came to footwear, Cox slipped on a sleek pair of Savas boots to finish his outfit. The “Braveheart” actor’s $1,100 Legend style was crafted from warm saffron-red suede, providing his attire with a colorful, complementary base. Slim-fitting zip-up shafts and brown soles with short heels completed the set with a dapper flair, bringing Cox a subtle height boost with a slick finish.
Similar colorful men’s boots — often crafted from suede and leather in a range of hues — have grown in popularity as optimistic dressing has risen, seen in new styles from brands including Taft, Clarks, Rakoh, Sunni Sunni and Giuseppe Zanotti.
During his interview with Colbert, which can be seen in full on YouTube, Cox discussed his role as Logan Roy in “Succession” — as well as his character’s death in its most recent episode, which he dissuaded paparazzi from by appearing at the filming of his funeral scene.
“I thought, ‘I’d better go, because I know there’s going to be a lot of paparazzi there,” Cox said. “And as soon as I got out of the car, they started clicking away, so immediately I was able to put off the fact that it was my funeral.”
Where shoes are concerned, Cox’s footwear styles are often classic and versatile. The “Rob Roy” actor regularly wears black and brown lace-up brogues, loafers and boots on the red carpet, hailing from brands including Thursday Boots. Off-duty, he can also be sen in slip-on sneakers and leather drivers in similarly neutral hues.
