Harry Styles brings disco-era fashion and a live debut to the BRIT Awards
harry styles closed the gap between runway and stage at the BRIT Awards, keeping his red-carpet Chanel look on for the live debut of “Aperture. ” The combined fashion and performance moment tied his Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally era to a packed 2026 release and touring calendar.
Harry Styles's Chanel look: look 39 from Métiers d’art 2026
In the week before the BRIT Awards there were murmurs that Harry Styles’s red-carpet look would be womenswear focused with a precise shoe moment. The outfit that arrived was look 39 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. Chanel clinched the deal after speculation that Jonathan Anderson for Dior or a rare archival Prada choice—imagined in line with stylist Harry Lambert’s eBay ambassadorship—might appear.
From murmurs to moodboard: Milan, Maria Grazia Chiuri and a ballet pump legacy
The fashion conversation that preceded the BRITs referenced autumn/winter 2026 shows rumbling on in the background, Milan Fashion Week dispatches and the Bella Hadid-ification of the Prada runway. Maria Grazia Chiuri bringing back Karl Lagerfeld collars at Fendi was also part of the week’s chatter. Stylists and writers spent days imagining the next step on from Styles’s earlier ballet pump moment, and the Chanel ensemble set a clear tone.
Stage staging and the live debut of “Aperture” at Manchester’s Co-op Live
The BRIT Awards, taking place at Manchester’s Co-op Live, opened Styles’s set with host Jack Whitehall in a barbershop, reading on his phone that Styles would be taking a break from music in 2023. A montage followed of Whitehall pining after Styles—thinking he happened upon Styles while jogging and embracing Styles’ wax figure at Madame Tussauds—before he finally arrived in time for the performance. Styles began the live debut of “Aperture” on a set of bleachers, flanked by dozens of dancers wearing black shades and T-shirts with snails on them.
Choreography, wardrobe and gospel backing
Wearing high-waisted dress pants and a shirt with a tie, Styles led choreography, then strode downstage to join a backing band and gospel singers. The dancers met him in the middle of the venue for a finale, surrounding him and waving their hands in synchronicity. The red-carpet look was kept on for the stage moment, marking the first time Styles has flexed his vocal skills live in his “Aperture” era.
Release dates, tour routing and other commitments tied to the era
Styles’ fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, will debut on March 6. Its lead single, “Aperture, ” was released Jan. 22 and debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and U. K. singles chart. After a one-night-only album release show at Manchester’s Co-op Live on March 6, Styles will begin a world tour titled Together, Together that kicks off on May 16 with 10 shows in Amsterdam. The routing includes 12 nights in London—where he’ll break two Wembley Stadium records—four shows in São Paulo, six nights in Mexico City, 30 shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, three nights in Melbourne and two in Sydney.
Past tours, TV and festival plans
Styles’ Love on Tour, which spanned the releases of Fine Line and Harry’s House, began in September 2021 and concluded in July 2023. He is next slated to serve as host and musical guest of Saturday Night Live on March 14, marking the second time he has pulled double duty on the NBC sketch comedy series. He was also tapped to curate Meltdown at London’s Southbank Centre and will perform as a headliner at the festival, which will take place from June 11-21.
Fashion rollout, aesthetic signals and awards context
The fashion rollout around Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally has been colour-saturated and humour-filled: a disco-ball bathed album artwork shot by Johnny Dufort, a mustard Miu Miu jumper, a Prada bowling pin shirt and tie, and Elton John-adjacent sunglasses sourced by General Eyewear Vintage. There has been a particular penchant for accessories deemed “feminine, ” such as mint-green, bow-bedecked Dior mules, and a suggested shift away from feather boas and harlequin jumpsuits toward French-girl flats. This year’s BRIT Awards nominees are led by Olivia Dean and Lola Young, each up for five awards; Styles last performed at the 2023 ceremony and took home four trophies for Harry’s House.
