If you heard a distant, audible gasp from miles away shortly after 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, don't worry — it was just me reacting to Harry Styles's outfit at the 2021 Grammys [1]. The singer kicked off the award show by performing his hit song "Watermelon Sugar" [2] in an entirely leather suit — with no shirt underneath — and a floor-length boa draped over his shoulders. Do you understand the source of my aforementioned gasp now?
About halfway through his performance [3], Harry ripped off his fuzzy Grinch-esque scarf to reveal that he was, indeed, shirtless [4] and ready to show off his tattoos [5]. Kudos to him for braving the undeniable sweatiness that likely ensued from all that leather-on-skin action! No shocker here, but Harry's Grammys look is by his go-to brand, Gucci [6], as his stylist, Harry Lambert, shared on Instagram [7]. He finished the outfit with his usual collection of chunky rings, a pair of heeled loafers, and a rather NSFW necklace [8]. Read ahead to admire the scene-stealing ensemble from all angles, and then relive Billie Eilish's "same"-worthy reaction to his staging [9].
