Harry Styles Debuts Mullet Haircut In Rare Public Appearance During 2024 London Fashion Week

Harry Styles is embracing the daylight with his latest public appearance.

The “Watermelon Sugar” hitmaker made his return to the spotlight with a rare outing during 2024 London Fashion Week, sitting front row at the SS Daley Fashion Show Sept. 13. The singer—sporting a navy button-down shirt with matching navy pants in his first London Fashion Week appearance since 2014—took in the show alongside Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, while his My Policeman co-star Emma Corrin was also in attendance.

Styles, 30, had also seemingly updated his hairdo since he was seen in February at the Premier League match between Luton Town and Manchester United in England. While his hair was brushed up on top and trimmed short on the sides at the soccer game, he appeared to have grown his hair out into a mullet at the fashion show.

The updated look comes after the former One Direction band member was spotted at a U2 concert in Las Vegas last November with Canadian actress Taylor Russell, though the two had reportedly parted ways by May of this year. Styles was seen rocking a shaved head at the concert, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans.

Days later, the singer’s mom Anne Twist spoke out about the online chatter, reminding fans to be mindful of their critiques.

“When you consider that [Harry] has a legacy of kindness and inclusion, has always made every effort to make everyone feel seen and appreciated for exactly who they are … there’s an irony in the negativity he’s been shown for having a haircut,” she wrote in a social media post. “Sorry but I don’t get it.”

Styles has largely cut out public appearances since he wrapped his Love on Tour in July 2023, which spanned nearly two years and grossed over $600 million according to Billboard. He also took home two Grammy Awards that year for his third studio album Harry’s House, including Album of the Year.

Read on to see some of Harry’s most daring fashion moments.

Harry added some color to his pinstriped suit in 2022 by rocking an eye-catching statement necklace. 

For Don't Worry Darling's big debut at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Harry rocked a structured navy suit with a light blue shirt featuring an oversized collar detail.

Proving that he has fashion in the bag, Harry toted a green purse to the 2022 premiere of My Policeman.

What's in Harry's House? A set of pearls, apparently.

Harry came dressed to impress for a Cannes Film Festival photocall in 2022.

Who said you can't be comfy on the red carpet? The Don't Worry Darling actor donned loose-fitting trousers and an oversized velvet jacket in 2022.

Harry paired his burgundy suit with a purple sweater over a collared shirt at the 2020 BRIT Awards.

The "Watermelon Sugar" singer channeled Elvis Presley in a low-plunging jumpsuit during Jingle Bell Ball 2019 in London.

At the 2020 Gucci Cruise show, all eyes fell on Harry's perfect pastel manicure.

Jaws dropped when the singer arrived to the 2019 Met Gala in this sheer top from Gucci. 

The One Direction star wore a blue velvet Gucci suit to the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony.

You can't deny it...the man's got swag, especially when sporting an orange-printed suit at Radio City Music Hall. 

Harry was the prince of fashion performing at the 2017 ARIA Awards in this bold, paisley-printed purple metallic suit.

In late 2017, it was clear that the "Wild Thoughts" singer was going through a floral suit phase and we're not complaining. 

The pop star cleans up nicely, wouldn't you say? Harry wore a tailored-to-perfection double-breasted suit to the premiere of Dunkirk in 2017.

He joined some of the world's most beautiful supermodels at the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in a grey suit with a sleek pastel-green shirt underneath.

Harry attended the Dunkirk World Premiere in an impeccable Raf Simons-designed tuxedo jacket with a classic black dress shirt tucked into black slacks that were detailed with a red and white marching band embroidery on the hem.

How do men attract attention at fashion week? Hint: Take a peek at Harry's leopard-print sweater worn at the Burberry Prorsum Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014 show.

Harry attended the 2014 British Fashion Awards in a red pin-striped suit that worked perfectly with his semi-groomed hair. 

Even when he's not trying, the "Kiwi" singer looks cool. 

In 2013, the boy bander rocked skinny jeans, boots and Ray-Ban sunglasses.

When you win an award at the 2013 British Fashion Awards, it means your style perspective is strong. Also, when you can effortlessly sport a scarf to a big event, you definitely deserve cred. 

Harry's love for fashion was noticeable even early on his career. This suit jacket and casual pants combo worked well for the Burberry runway show. 

Even at 18 years old, the British singer opted for a classy look with a three-piece suit—with a statement bow-tie—for the 2012 BRIT Awards.

It's true that Harry and the rest of his former band mates have come a long way style wise, but back in 2012, the part-casual, part-formal outfit combo did it for fans. 

Perhaps it's his voluminous hair or dark sunglasses, but the simple tee and pants look on Harry back in 2012 was so freaking cool.
