No,Harry Styles, you’reso golden.
The 27-year-old singer and fashion risk-taker — who’s nominated for best pop solo performance, best pop vocal album and best music video — took the stage at the2021 Grammyson Sunday night to perform “Watermelon Sugar” in a black leather suit and green feather boa, all custom Gucci.
Styles went shirtless under his tuxedo jacket, staying true to his gender fluid, retro-inspired aesthetic. He paired the look with heeled loafers, several chunky rings and a cross necklace.
Unsurprisingly, the star looked just as good when he accepted the award for best pop solo performance. Styles donned dark brown corduroys, a stripped V-neck sweater, a patterned blazer and…wait for it…apurplefeather boa.

Last year, the starsparked conversation about gender roles in fashionwhen he donned a lace-trimmed Gucci dress and tuxedo jacket on theDecember cover ofVogue.
The headline “Harry Styles Makes His Own Rules” accompanied an idyllic photo of the “Adore You” artist blowing up a balloon. And the same message was conveyed inside the issue, where the singer opened up about challenging traditional norms and expressing himself through his style.
“Clothes are there to have fun with and experiment with and play with. What’s really exciting is that all of these lines are just kind of crumbling away,” Styles told theoutlet. “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.”
He continued: “I’ll go in shops sometimes, and I just find myself looking at the women’s clothes thinking they’re amazing. It’s like anything—anytime you’re putting barriers up in your own life, you’re just limiting yourself. There’s so much joy to be had in playing with clothes. I’ve never really thought too much about what it means—it just becomes this extended part of creating something.”
On Sunday, Styles joined performersTaylor Swift,Dua Lipaand Roddy Rich who also took the stage (virtual and otherwise) for the 63rd annual awards show. The trio has six nominations each and tied for the second most nods, behindBeyoncéwho earned a total of nine.
Like many socially-distanced awards shows that have already taken place, this year’s Grammy nominees will be coming together while staying safely apart to celebrate music’s biggest night amid the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
