28 Throwback Photos of Harry Styles That Are Worth a Second Look
2022 is shaping up to be the year of Harry Styles. Not only is his music career reaching new heights—he’s set to headline Coachella with Billie Eilish and Ye, his delayed Love on Tour is finally coming to the U.K., and he’s rumored to be performing at Glastonbury—but this year, he’ll be stepping into the spotlight as a leading man. After roles in Dunkirk and Eternals, the polymath will star in the tender romance My Policeman opposite Emma Corrin, and the stylish thriller Don’t Worry Darling with Florence Pugh, directed by his girlfriend Olivia Wilde.
Ahead of their release—and in honor of his birthday today—we reflect on the renaissance man’s journey from teen idol to supernova in 28 throwback photos.
