Harry Styles

Harry Styles, born on February 1, 1994, is an English musician, songwriter, and actor. He began his career as a contestant on “The X Factor,” a British Music show. He later joined One Direction, a British all-male band. His solo album debuted at the top of the U.K. and U.S. charts in 2017. His second album also met with immense success, debuting at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. Styles has won a Grammy award and two Brit Awards. The handsome singer is also very fashionable. Styles was one of the first men to appear solo on the cover of “Vogue” magazine. We’ll help you celebrate this amazing artist here.He was raised with an older sister named Gemma and he had a relationship with country singer Taylor Swift that ended in January 2013. He later dated Kendall Jenner but the couple broke up in 2014. He then dated model Nadine Leopold. He briefly dated chef Tess Ward in 2017 and he dated Camille Rowe for about a year before breaking up in mid-2018. He began dating Olivia Wilde in late 2020 and the couple split in 2022.

At 28, Styles has unlocked a new level of stardom for himself. Years ago, he regularly filled stadiums as a member of One Direction, his former boy band. This spring and summer, he’s playing them on his own. “As It Was” has become his hugest song yet, setting streaming records and topping the charts in more than two dozen countries, including 10 weeks straight in the U.S. Because he’s a star with a largely young, female fan base, many have refused to engage with him as much more than a pretty teen idol. (I don’t need to lay out decades of music history to show how wrong of a take that is.) But he can feel the tides change in curious ways. “ ‘As It Was’ is definitely the highest volume of men that I would get stopping me to say something about it,” he notes. “That feels like a weird comment because it’s not like men was the goal. It’s just something I noticed.”

On a Friday night in New York, Harry Styles put on a show. It wasn’t just any show; it was the first time he performed his third and soon-to-be-biggest album, Harry’s House, in its entirety. The crowd that May night covered Long Island’s UBS Arena in feathers and glitter and tears a ritualistic skin shedding of sorts whenever Styles comes to town. 

Fans noticed something different about the encore: Styles didn’t end with his usual closer, “Kiwi”; instead, he opted to finish the night with a second performance of his new single “As It Was,” his dance-through-the-tears pandemic reflection on isolation and change. When he played it, the crowd exploded in a way even Styles had never experienced. It left him a bit shaken.

Styles’s creative partnership with Gucci and the fashion house’s outgoing creative director Alessandro Michele was foundational in his evolution from boy-band member to modern pop star. It was only fitting, then, that after Gucci outfitted Styles for everything from his historic Vogue cover to the Met Gala and the Grammys, Styles would collaborate with his friend Michele on a capsule collection: Gucci HA HA HA, a characteristically playful collection of cherry-print suiting and teddy-bear tees, released in November. Harry’s House? In 2022, it was Harry’s world.On the eve of the Harry’s House release, Styles took to the desert and made like a rhinestone Gucci-clad cowboy for his first-ever headlining sets at Coachella in April. He was accompanied on his first weekend by special guest Shania Twain—whom he grew up listening to with his mom, Anne Twist—and, on weekend two, by his good friend Lizzo. (Together, they make for a duo that can’t not spark joy.) Coachella x HS was, of course, a rainbow- and glitter-dusted blast and a glimpse at the album to come, but it also began to solidify Styles as both an upper-echelon solo artist and one of music’s most magnetic acts, fit for entertaining an audience of more than 100,000.
