He danced, he flirted, he bantered and dazzled adoring fans with charm. But one moment at Styles’ first Melbourne gig made the crowd boo.
Rayne Wrighton-Smith, 20, waiting in line for the Harry Styles concert at Marvel Stadium.Fans emulated the flamboyant sartorial choices of the star, creating a sea of glittery glam. Styles opted for a sleek, flared brown pleather pant and stripey shiny top on stage.A culture of care and consideration filtered through the concert, synonymous with the tour’s title and Styles’ popular single.
Styles’ daring approach to leave questions unanswered intensifies our curiosity and hunger to know him. His genderfluid style, penchant for sequins and jerky dance moves have led to claims he’s derivative of David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Elton John. But artists – indeed, all of us – are always inspired and influenced by our forebears. His brand brings a new wave of softer manhood to combat toxic masculinity for a younger generation.
Styles’ charisma and sex appeal are undeniably alluring – and Friday night’s concert made clear he’s a showman and talented lyricist born to grace the stage.
