Harry Styles Poses Nude in Fishnet Tights for New Magazine Cover

HARRY STYLES IS NAKED IN FISHNET TIGHTS. I REPEAT: HARRY STYLES IS NAKED IN FISHNET TIGHTS!!! The singer posed for a Beauty Papers cover wear completely nude, wearing nothing but a pair of fishnet tights and his trademark heeled loafers.

I need to keep it professional here, but – f*ck, does he look good.

The second cover shows Harry fully-dressed this time, but looking equally as sexy. He elevated his favorite red carpet fit, in a vintage-inspired three-piece suit and a full face of glam. That contour, those brows, that smokey eye! I am shaken to the core.

According to Beauty Papers, the inspiration for this shoot comes from the lack of individuality in the world today.

"Introducing Mr Harry Edward Styles who collaborated with #beautypapers in an issue that viscerally responds to the shrinking freedoms of our world with an explosion of individuality, creativity, diversity and unity," the publication wrote on Instagram.

R4 No, but dudes wearing feminine clothing/makeup is the new thing that turns on teenage girls. It makes him "sensitive" and "indie" and turns them on, and since teenage girls are his main fanbase, it makes him a pretty penny.

R3 He probably is uncomfortable, all of the "manic pixie dream boy" shit he's been doing lately is probably just an act his manager(s) have forced him into. As much as we can pretend he's not, he's still just a product and nothing more, just as he was back in the 1D days when Simon Cowell was pulling his strings.

I don't think teen beat magazine is Styles' style at all. He's more Mick Jagger or Pete Moon, a bit of Stevie Nicks and Steven Tyler. He's super cool. Sexy, moody, real. He's not great looking. But he's very stylish and has real appeal. I like his music too. He's trying for something more. Yeah, he looks a little unwashed and like he smells of cigarettes. Teen girls are not what they used to be. Bieber isn't about to put on fishnets and loafers. Styles is not trying to look fuckable like Prince did in a dress. Prince was a fucking tease. So SEXY.

He always looks happy because he spends most of his life inebriated.

But so much weight gain on a man of 5ft 8 who earns his living from a fandom who originally stanned a cute skinny blond isn't really a good idea. His latest promo photos are heavily edited to remove his jowls and double chin and those weird fat lumps on his forehead. Styles keeps his weight down and is a lot more photogenic.

And sadly Niall has actually lost two thirds of the fandom he had for his debut, Flicker. His new album is set to debut at around 5 on Billboard with sales of only 55k. His debut had 152k. Styles meanwhile picked up 200k extra sales for Fine Line as compared to his debut.

And yes, BOTH had arena tour bundles. Niall just hasn't sold many tour tickets either. So we have Styles with a 470k debut last December and Niall with a 55k one on Monday. Quite the difference.

"Except use social media to engage with fans like all his peers do." But by not using social media he's also differentiating himself from the legions of other readily available, relatable teenage idols, singers, actors, influencers and certain other boyband members. It keeps an aura of mystery, that ultimately works for him, especially at this stage in his career, when he doesn't want to be associated with One Direction anymore.

The fishnets work similarly. The vast majority of his fans love them, so it's pretty safe in that regard. And it helps to signal that he's not like the others - not Shawn Mendes, the 1D boys, Justin Bieber etc. Insofar it's actually more lucrative.

Exactly, R136. The Harry stans just want to try and convince themselves that Harry's independently minded or some foolishness.

Besides, nothing would shatter the image that they're trying to push than Harry let loose on social media. Without all the PR bullshit he's a basic bitch who tweets about himself wearing "funny" shirts.

It's actually not as Shawn is far more popular. 5m likes on IG as opposed to Harry's 2m. Unambiguously straight is still the way to go for maxiumum popularity. Like Bieber and many before him.

R146 Instagram likes aren't a surefire way to gauge success, otherwise Niall would be nearly as popular as Lady Gaga and he's far from that, but that's beside the point. The thing is that nice, handsome, popular white boy of the moment Shawn Mendes already exists, so it's about being different and focusing on another market share. Being the popular heartthrob of the moment is usually pretty short term too, Bieber is already halfway over. A more quirky, artsy image might help with longevity and probably ties in with Harry's personality, they just cranked it way up. And even bland Shawn likes to play with fashion and pearl necklaces, it's trendy for everyone right now.

Ah yes, the unambiguously straight Shawn Mendes.

The fashion thing with Harry is just an act. Christ, look at the way he dresses when he's not going to be on camera if you need proof. After all, no-one with any authenticity would've ever gone on a Simon Cowell show to begin with.

He does wear his pearls and his crazy flared mustard cords and huge white trousers off duty though. Many many candids of him in them. Vogue hailed him as a fashion leader back in 2012 and they haven't changed their minds. And fashion is of its essence performative so your comment about it 'being an act' is pretty redundant.

"Unambiguously straight is still the way to go for maximum popularity" The number of articles I've seen just about Harry Styles wearing fishnets and lipstick says otherwise, as do all the other articles about his "gender bending fashion". It garners attention and fashion magazines, pop culture websites, buzzfeed etc. are all over it, as are journalists and especially fans on twitter. It's a dream come true for the latter.

So between the attention it gives him and the euphoria it causes among his fans it's of course something that gives him popularity.

Btw his stylist had all the elements of this gender bending fashion already in photo shoots he styled in 2014, this is something that was already a ready made aesthetic before he ever worked with Harry Styles.

He has a really good voice and he can sing, which is more than a lot of pop stars nowadays can claim. He recently covered Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer on Howard Stern and he really did the song justice. His drummer is great too.

by Anonymousreply 167March 23, 2020 1:19 AM

Harry's an interesting mess. A developing artist. Good singer. I love his voice. He's a bit like Freddie Mercury crossed with Rufus Wainwright. People here who reduce him to some packaged image obviously are too simple to get his many references and personal confusion. It's not about being gay I don't think. Even Mick Jagger had the cocksucker blues. Harry is expressing himself in ways his fans might not like. He has a much more grown up fan base now. Me included. We get the billowy shirt and the falling through water and his Kelly Clarkson references. That Pink Floyd production on Sign of The Times, his glam rock influences and the unironic love for Stevie Nicks. She's long before my time, but I love her too. Harry is bombass. In or out of stockings. People should support his music. He's one of the best ones.

by Anonymousreply 168March 23, 2020 1:44 AM

"Harry is expressing himself in ways his fans might not like. He has a much more grown up fan base now."

Not really, his fans absolutely love it, they had edits of him wearing makeup and "feminine" clothes already since One Direction days. And while he managed to expand his fan base since he went solo, most of them are still girls in their late teens and early twenties, who love this kind of aesthetic, because it's also trendy now. They also love Troye Sivan, Conan Gray, Ezra Miller and others.

So you either have the typical heartthrobs, which are less cool now, or young, handsome guys in this artistic, quirky, "gender bending" category. Harry's stylist had this aesthetic already in early 2014, long before working with Harry, who still felt at home in his usual indie rock fashion back then. Now he has taken on this aesthetic and for the happy fans it goes way beyond an artistic photoshoot, referencing glam rock and other things. They like to see it as a journey of Harry coming to terms with his gender expression and sexuality.

R180 Personal taste and all that. In general people find someone more attractive if they like them or what they do, so I'm sure the fact that they like his singing and music contributes to people finding him hot. Imho he's usually more interesting and attractive in motion, I think his Carpool Karaoke was when I got why he's attractive to so many.
