An Appreciation of Harry Styles’s Evolving Red Carpet Mastery

The pop star looked like a modern dandy at the 2023 BRIT Awards in a dramatic black suit with. Klaus Nomi-inspired silouhette by Harris Reed for Nina Ricci—topped off with a sizable floral neckpiece, of course.

Styles turned heads at the 2023 Grammy Awards, where he took home the prize for Album of the Year, in a crystal mesh EGONLAB x Swarovski jumpsuit.

After strutting his stuff on the red carpet, Styles then switched into a disco ball look from Gucci to perform at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

It’s no secret Styles enjoys his suits—here, he slipped into a mustard yellow Erdem number during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

This suit is (of course) Gucci, but you’d be forgiven if it came from Star Wars’s imperial dressing department. Styles ditched the open collars and exaggerated lapels of his usual suits to channel something a bit more streamlined and buttoned up, but still decidedly eccentric.

While the film festival premiere of My Policeman took place in Canada, Styles was channeling something a bit more Irish with this Gucci ensemble’s take on multiple shades of green.

Before White Lotus’s second season even premiered, Styles was giving a crash course in how a British dandy dresses for a jaunt to Italy during the Venice Film Festival.

For an event celebrating his third studio album, Styles went a bit more casual, wearing jeans and a white tee with a brown duck-covered cardigan from S.S.Daley on top. He finished off the look with his favorite necklace as of late, courtesy of Miami-based jewelry brand éliou.

While promoting his new album, Harry’s House, on The Howard Stern Show, Styles wore a quirky look comprised of bright green Gucci trousers and a tee by the brand. He then accessorized with another beaded necklace.

The singer mixed it up a bit when he wore a look from the Lanvin fall 2020 collection, though he stuck to his usual signature of a quirky sweater and large trousers.

Styles wore a brown double-breasted Gucci suit a top a purple marl sweater, all from Gucci fall 2020 collection. The singer then finished off the look with a pair of Mary Janes and a string of pearls.

The singer stood with inductee Steve Nicks at the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony in a velvet blue double-breasted Gucci suit with boot cut pants.

Harry Styles dressed like Elton John for the 2018 Casamigos Halloween party, wearing a custom sequined Dodgers uniform just like the Bob Mackie one John wore when playing at Dodgers stadium in 1975.

Styles stood out from his bandmates by adding a hat to his Teen Choice Awards look, which also featured a lot of chest thanks to his unbuttoned shirt.
