It was a full-on Harry Styles takeover on Saturday Night Live last night, where the singer served as both the host and musical guest. The episode comes fresh off Styles debuting his new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, earlier this month, as well as announcing his new 50-date Together, Together tour, which officially kicks off in May.
Naturally, Styles’s SNL appearance yesterday evening came packed with bold fashion statements. He and his stylist Harry Lambert continue leaning into the “classics with a twist” vibe that he has been perfecting from winter into spring. During his opening monologue, for one, Styles emerged wearing a timeless gray pinstriped suit, pairing it with a collared shirt and cobalt blue tie. Then he added saucy little black ballet flats—his shoe of choice, at the moment—for a more cool, modern slant.
His opening monologue was extremely cheeky. “People have accused me of something called queerbaiting,” said Styles during the bit. “But did it ever occur to you that… ‘Maybe you don’t know everything about me, dad!’” The singer also poked fun at his recent love of running. “That runner’s high is amazing… ‘Watermelon Sugar High,’ runner’s high. I also love ecstasy.”
Throughout the episode, Styles starred in a number of different comedic skits—including playing a nurse at a “MAHAspital,” and a gaudy cruise ship entertainer. He even had a whole bit around designing a Target line that replicates some of his extraordinary looks—like his many bedazzled jumpsuits!—but “for the ordinary man,” dubbing the collection, “Harry for Him.”
