“He reminds me so much of a young Mick Jagger,” grinned Anna Wintour, speaking of Harry Styles ahead of tonight’s Met Gala.
One of the evening’s three co-chairs, the British singer proved Wintour right—and then some. From his devilish grin and feathery brown hair to his sheer, nipple-revealing ruffled Gucci blouse (reminiscent of the billowy top Jagger wore to The Rolling Stones’s famous 1969 Hyde Park concert), Styles was the spitting image of the charismatic frontman as he traipsed down the red carpet on the arm of Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele. And proving that he’s just as fearless and anti-establishment as Jagger, who has dabbled into directional makeup throughout his career, Styles imbued his look with a touch of extra beauty flair.
It wasn’t just Styles’s stacks of metallic rings brushing against his romantic lace sleeves, but prim and painted nails as well. With a dark raven manicure punctuated by pops of teal, his coiffed digits, much like his single pearl earring, was coolly complementary to his goth-tinged look. With natural charm and rock star swagger, Styles continues to channel Jagger while establishing a style that’s all his own.
