Grammys 2021: Harry Styles’ stylist reveals very British reason for his fabulous feather boas
Harry Styles has once again stolen the show, as he stunned at the 2021 Grammys.
We are all in desperate need of a feather boa after the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker made them his wardrobe essential at the awards ceremony.
All eyes were on him as he donned a Gucci yellow and green tweed jacket, with a knitted tank top and brown trousers, pairing it all with a pink feather boa to accept his award.
Meanwhile, for his performance, he switched it up and rocked a leather blazer and matching trousers, this time with a lime green boa.
The former One Direction star, who was seen accidentally dropping an F-bomb as he picked up his award for best solo pop performance, is known for his unconventional sense of style, and he’s able to pull off pretty much every look under the sun.
Need we remind you of his yellow suit for the Brit Awards 2020, or his gorgeous dress for his Vogue shoot earlier this year?
But there was a lot of meaning behind his outfits for the Grammys, with his stylist, Harry Lambert, revealing he wanted the looks to embody his British roots.
‘This is Harry’s first Grammys, and so we wanted to do something that felt British and eccentric,’ he told Vogue.com.
‘A little bit rock ‘n’ roll and a little bit camp. I hope we did this with the mix of the tweed and the boa, [which is] Britishness, rock’n’roll, and camp all rolled into one.’
He added: ‘It was also important to us all that the silhouette for the stage was the same as the red carpet but that the actual looks felt polar opposites.
‘One being patterned and vibrant and the other being more slick and sexy.’
While they’re completely different, the two looks are also tied together as they’re sure to remind fans of the colour palette used in Harry’s Watermelon Sugar music video.
Basically, it’s completely iconic and we’re not surprised Mr Styles has everyone in a fluster.
Clearly obsessed with the looks, one fan wrote on Twitter: ‘“are you okay?” bro harry styles won a grammy tonight and wore two feather boas, and a leather suit, and glittery gold nail polish, and a penis necklace, and mascara, and possibly lipstick, and he did a little dance and hugged billie [Eilish]…. anyways i hope that answers your question.’
‘HARRY IN LEATHER AND A BOA OPENING THE GRAMMYS SINGING WATERMELON SUGAR. OMFG,’ another wrote, while one more said: ‘three different boas. i love harry sm.’
Meanwhile, Harry was also seen catching up with his ex Taylor Swift at the ceremony.
Taylor, 31, and Harry, 27, dated in late 2012, and it seems they’re still completely supportive of each other.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed Taylor, who won album of the year for her record Folklore, was the first to stand up and cheer Harry on when he was announced as a winner.
Then, the pair were seen deep in conversation backstage after they both bagged awards – and we can imagine they’ve got tons to catch up on.
Elsewhere in the show, Billie Eilish and Megan Thee Stallion won big, while Beyonce made history after winning her 28th Grammy.
