About this deal

Styles became a leading man when he was four years old, starring in a play called Barney the Church Man. Later, he transformed into Buzz Lightyear in a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang “because Buzz Lightyear was in the toy shop for some reason”. His other early theatre credits include: Razamatazz in Bugsy Malone (“the band leader”) and the Elvis-inspired Pharaoh in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. (He would later audition for Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, but was deemed too iconic by the director.) When you take away 'There's clothes for men and there's clothes for women,' once you remove any barriers, obviously you open up the arena in which you can play. I'll go in shops sometimes, and I just find myself looking at the women's clothes thinking they're amazing. It's like anything — anytime you're putting barriers up in your own life, you're just limiting yourself," he told Vogue. Styles was the first man to grace the cover of Vogue Image: Vogue A controversial fashion campaign Will be attending a Harry Styles concert on 9/18 and would love something a bit edgy. Maybe some cool patterned pants and a contrasting top.” this feels like a moment :’) #hslot #theforum #forum #harrystyles #hslotoutfit #hslotoutfits #loveontour We walk out before the crowd fully disperses. Styles lingers a second to take some photos of the room before he heads out to get ready for his concert, where he’ll bounce around the stage, lifted by the wails of young fans who have been waiting years for this moment.

One feeling he needed to shed was shame, the kind of shame that comes from having your sex life scrutinised while you’re still just trying to make sense of it. Over the years, he learned to stop apologising for it. He learned he could be vulnerable in private while still protecting it from the public. When asked about her experience with his fans, Wilde is diplomatic. Like Styles, she believes in what they stand for as a collective, calling them “deeply loving people” who have fostered an accepting community. “What I don’t understand about the cruelty you’re referencing is that that kind of toxic negativity is the antithesis of Harry, and everything he puts out there,” she tells me. “I don’t personally believe the hateful energy defines his fan base at all. The majority of them are true champions of kindness.” Styles’s solo shows at Wembley were a reunion of sorts: he had friends and family from all parts of his life and career in the audience on both nights. His mum, Anne Twist, sister Gemma, friends and his team all danced in the stands next to Wilde and her two young children. Even former bandmate Niall Horan swung by, smiling through ‘What Makes You Beautiful’. Hi! For this next Fix, could you send some pieces that you could picture Harry Styles wearing? I’m trying to branch out into more colorful pallets and try new patterns and textures. Thank you so much!!” Taken from theOctober/November 2022issueof Rolling Stone UK.

On past tours, he says, “I was getting to a lot of cities and feeling like ‘I’ve been here six times and I’ve never seen any of it.’” This tour, he’s been taking in a lot of architecture. “It’s something I can do on my own, just sit somewhere and look at stuff,” he says. With three singles from the 2022 "Harry's House" and a fourth song, heis the first British solo artist to have four top 10 hits in the US charts, a feat last accomplished by The Beatlesin 1964, according to German magazine Musikexpress . Styles also represents a modern masculinity, in which a man can wear a Dorothy (of “The Wizard of Oz”) mini dress and still be a sex symbol.

Other than that, acting wasn’t really part of his life plan. He liked it, but he found a new rush when he started performing with his band White Eskimo. When they debuted at — and won — a Battle of the Bands competition, it was the first time he felt “the switch”: his teachers looking up at him, instead of vice versa. “I think I was just a show-off,” he says, with a hint of cheekiness. “I say that like it’s past tense.” Tank by Loewe, braces, Stylist’s Own, Trousers by Gucci And while he may be everywhere in 2022, Styles is, at the moment, literally right in front of me, sitting in an armchair of a hotel business suite in Hamburg, Germany, on a sweaty June afternoon. After a dip in the Irish Sea this morning, he flew into town and is now enjoying a day off in the middle of his first European tour since 2018. I’m going to the Harry Styles concert in LA. It’s going to be hot, and I’ll be masked, but I want something fun, and a little funky to wear. I’m androgynous and dress for comfort, but enjoy a vintage flair. Not interested in looking like a banker, a country club boy, or anything in that vicinity. Fun, funky, cool (temperature), and different. Excite me. Thank you.” Now, besides the unavoidable singles and the victory-lap world tour, there are other indicators of next-level stardom: his skincare, nail polish and clothing line called Pleasing and a fashion collection with Gucci, not to mention his flourishing movie career. He’s starring in the psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling and in the intimate drama My Policeman, and he’s nabbed a deal with Marvel Studios to play Eros in at least one of the Eternals films. “Everything in my life has felt like a bonus since X-Factor,” he says, referring to the singing competition that led directly to One Direction. “Get on TV and sing. I never expected and never thought that would happen.”

He’s found a vague balance through compartmentalisation. “I’ve never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it’s benefited me positively,” he explains, perhaps preemptively. “There’s always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn’t going to spend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way.” Harry Styles, 29, is extremely successful.On Sunday, the Britishsinger-songwriterwon two Grammy awards— best album of the year and best pop vocal album—for"Harry's House."

The result is clear. Harry Styles now inspires a whole generation — and not just any generation — the one that’s undoubtedly the most difficult to apprehend and win over, Gen Z. The British singer is a popular style icon in no less than 27 countries around the world, where his outfits have been searched for more than any other celebrity in 2021, according to a study conducted by Money.co.uk. From the UK to the US, Spain, Canada, Finland, Iceland, Egypt, Sweden and the Netherlands… the world has fallen for his style to the point of relegating Billie Eilish to second place among the most popular celebrity style icons this year. Specifically, “Rebel” showcases garments and ephemera made by some of the 300 designers at the start of their careers, when they were being supported by Newgen funding – the likes of Grace Wales Bonner, JW Anderson, Kim Jones, Mary Katrantzou, Duro Olowu, Richard Quinn and Simone Rocha. Elsewhere, McQueen’s friend and collaborator Simon Ungless has reproduced pieces from that lost first collection, displayed alongside previously unseen photographs of Lee with his debut, voice recordings and early media coverage. What I value the most from my friends is I’m reminded that it’s OK to be flawed. I’m pretty messy and make mistakes sometimes” — Harry Styles When Styles played two sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium in June, the first thing he did after stepping offstage each night was take a shower. The post-show shower has become a ritual: a hygienic necessity, sure, but also a crucial moment of clarity and reflection. He washes away the screams full of love and desire to just be in his presence. Anyone would be overwhelmed by that. “It’s really unnatural to stand in front of that many people and have that experience,” he says. “Washing it off, you’re just a naked person, in your most vulnerable, human form. Just like a naked baby, basically.” See footage and pictures of Louis Tomlinson performing ‘Out Of My System’ at the Rolling Stone UK Awards in collaboration with Rémy Martin

Between them, Billie Eilish and Harry Styles clearly appear to have dominated the fashion limelight this year. And their taste for gender-fluid looks no doubt has something to do with that. Both stars have clearly distinguished themselves with their willingness to break codes and stereotypes, reflecting broader changes underway in society. And while neither star is giving up traditionally masculine or feminine clothes altogether, they both play with fashion however they like, dressing according to their personality, their whims and their fancies, rather than following any fashion diktats. In the past couple of years, he started to go to therapy more routinely. “I committed to doing it once a week,” he explains. “I felt like I exercise every day and take care of my body, so why wouldn’t I do that with my mind?” Monday’s Camp-themed Met Gala will play host to one more such transformation. Sure, we might get John Waters in a crazy Comme des Garçons skirt or a Schiaparelli flamingo hat, or maybe even RuPaul dressed as reverse-drag. But one of the most anticipated arrivals will be a former boy band member discovered on the X Factor who is now on billboards across America clutching baby farm animals in Gucci tailoring. That's right: Harry Styles is now a full-fledged fashion icon. I’m attending a Harry Styles concert on Oct 14th, so I’m looking for something very stylish and trendy to wear. Please include the whole outfit, including shoes/boots and accessories.”

Still, Harry Styles, known for his gender-fluid outfits, has been accused by some critics of queerbaiting — when one benefits from appearing as queer without openly claiming an LGBTQ identity. Styles insists that his sexual orientation is nobody's business. He’s thinking about what it would be like if he had children one day: “Well, if I have kids at some point, I will encourage them to be themselves and be vulnerable and share.” Pre-pandemic talks between Styles and the Darling team didn’t make it far; he was, after all, due on a global tour for most of 2020. Instead, Shia LaBeouf won the role, but by the end of that summer, Wilde had reportedly booted the actor for poor on-set behaviour. Christina Formica, a 24-year-old beauty publicist, attended four shows of the tour, putting together different outfits for each one. “He’s so comfortable with himself and isn’t afraid to wear colors and mix patterns. My style used to be bland and dark, but now I’m more comfortable wearing what I want and expanding the colors in my wardrobe. I would have never worn purple and orange multicolor pants with a purple boa before,” she said.
