STYLE STEALS

He’s dubbed a fashion inspiration, but where does Harry Styles really steal his eccentric outfits from?

STYLES by name and, as Harry is proving, it’s styles by nature too.

The former One Direction star has long been hailed for his boundary-pushing fashion sense.

Last month, men’s magazine GQ hailed Harry Styles, 28, as “one of the best-dressed musicians in the world”.

But, as these pictures show, the Watermelon Sugar singer could have borrowed from the wardrobes of the greatest pop and rock icons.

Here we take a look at Harry Styles’ inspirations.

HARRY has been criticised for copying other trendy icons before him – but following someone else’s lead is what makes fashion.

Instead of following ideas and copying catwalk looks, he takes his inspiration from history’s best, and sometimes quirkiest, dressed.

And everyone else is at it – take Kim Kardashian channelling ­Marilyn Monroe at the Met gala.

They are simply celebrating and complimenting the golden oldies.

Harry’s love of being different while still paying homage to his style heroes is why he gets himself on the “best-dressed” lists in ­fashion magazines and designer campaigns.

Those who scoffed at him for wearing a dress or carrying a ­handbag might even see a new pop star stealing Harry’s style soon.
