![]() ![]() Yes, Styles is not only mindful but open-minded. He doesn’t believe in labels around sexuality and happily wears dresses on tour and on the cover of Vogue. Speaking of mouths, he has a Grammy-winning single about the female orgasm. Unlike another (much older) entertainer who waxes on about decency, Styles’ graciousness appears genuine: He holds babies. That star power has only amplified over the past five years and three albums with Styles crafting a “lead with kindness” ethos - he literally titled a song “Treat People With Kindness” on 2019’s Fine Line. But Styles had (and still has) an enigmatic presence that just screams “FAMOUS.” It’s an ineffable quality, as all five guys were impossibly talented and complemented each other’s abilities in ways that would make any major label executive’s mouth water. But for anyone who has seen One Direction live - I did in 2013 - you will already be aware that the star power clearly, unequivocally, belonged to Styles. “Cinema” lyrics like “I bring the pop the the cinema/ You pop when we get intimate” speak for themselves.)Īs he graduated from One Direction, the pressure had to be on Styles to define himself as a solo artist, particularly since Malik technically beat him to the punch. (They rarely talk about their relationship publicly, but they were spotted holding hands in January 2021 and Wilde has been seen at a number of Styles’ live shows. In September, he’ll star in the mid-century mystery flick Don’t Worry Darling, directed by Olivia Wilde, who also happens to be dating Styles. In his post-1D life, Styles has also become something of a creative muse for film directors: Christopher Nolan said he liked Styles’ “old-fashioned face” and gave him a supporting role in 2017’s historical war drama Dunkirk. All of the bestselling boyband’s members have launched solo careers to varying degrees of success, but Styles’ is by far the most explosive, earning him two Brit Awards, a Grammy, an Ivor Novello Award, and an American Music Award. One Direction ultimately split in 2016, one year after Malik left and launched a solo career. Styles, as mentioned at the start, began his entertainment career quite early, auditioning for The X Factor in 2010 and being scooped up by Simon Cowell to form One Direction with Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik. Adding to this metamorphosis: Our boy is head over heels in love with a woman he really, really admires. ![]() Harry’s House is a delightful snapshot of that late-20s liminal state. (Though god knows not all adults get there.) As he enters a new chapter of his solo career with his third album, Harry’s House, Styles demonstrates his keen interest in personal and professional growth while simultaneously engaging in typically youthful pursuits like living for today, driving around, and getting high on various substances. It’s part of the human condition and part of maturing into adulthood. Regardless of visibility and/or success - not the same thing, which Styles quotes Michaela Coel as saying in an acceptance speech - everyone has moments where we compare our achievements and life paths to others’. ![]() ![]() In a deep-diving interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the former One Directioner spoke about observing Billie Eilish when she first came up and thinking, “I’m not that young anymore.” (And he must have only been in his mid-20s when he thought that!) “For a while it was, how do you play that game of remaining exciting?” At 28, Harry Styles has now been doing this long enough that he’s starting to compare himself to the younger set of pop stars. ![]()
