Harry Styles made a stylish entrance at the 2026 Brit Awards, wearing a Chanel ensemble that aligned with his latest album's aesthetic. Rumors had built anticipation for a womenswear-focused look with a notable shoe element. The outfit drew from Chanel’s Métiers d’art 2026 collection.
The week before the 2026 Brit Awards, speculation swirled about Harry Styles’s red carpet appearance, described as fabulous, womenswear-focused, and featuring a specific shoe moment. Fashion enthusiasts anticipated an evolution from the ballet shoe he wore at the Grammys, amid ongoing fall 2026 fashion shows in Milan, including the Bella Hadid-ification of the Prada runway and Maria Grazia Chiuri reviving Karl Lagerfeld collars at Fendi.
Stylist Harry Lambert ultimately selected a look from Chanel’s Métiers d’art 2026 collection: a black-and-white bouclé pinstripe jacket with matching trousers and a pale mint pinstripe cotton shirt, known as look 39, originally modeled by Alex Consani. This choice complemented the style direction of Styles’s latest album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally., whose disco-ball bathed artwork was shot by photographer Johnny Dufort.
The album’s promotional fashion has emphasized color-saturated pieces, such as a mustard Miu Miu sweater and a Prada bowling pin shirt and tie, alongside humor-filled elements like Elton John-adjacent sunglasses from General Eyewear Vintage. Styles has also incorporated feminine accessories, including mint-green, bow-bedecked Dior mules.
The red carpet outfit served as a prelude to Styles’s stage performance, marking his first live vocal showcase in the “Aperture” era. It hinted at the direction of his 2026 tour, suggesting a shift away from feather boas and harlequin jumpsuits toward French-girl flats.
