Harry Styles is all about breaking gender barriers when it comes to fashion, and loves to experiment with his look — whether that means a colorful manicure, a strand of pearls or a full-blown ball gown. Most recently, the “Fine Line” rocker modeled a custom Gucci dress on the cover of Vogue, posing in other stereotypically feminine looks in the issue’s pages.
“You can never be overdressed. There’s no such thing,” Styles told the magazine. “Now I’ll put on something that feels really flamboyant, and I don’t feel crazy wearing it … Clothes are there to have fun with and experiment with and play with. When you take away ‘There’s clothes for men and there’s clothes for women,’ once you remove any barriers, obviously you open up the arena in which you can play.”

Styles is the first man to ever cover American Vogue solo, and while fans went crazy over the sight of the pop star in a full gown, Candace Owens slammed the look, calling for the return of “manly men.” She was widely criticized for her reaction to the spread, and Styles threw some subtle shade her way on Instagram shortly after.
