I, for one, am totally buggin’
Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last couple of days, it’s likely you’ll have spotted Harry Styles and his multicoloured furry boas – not a euphemism – loitering somewhere on the TL. Rocking up to the Grammys on Sunday night, the “Watermelon Sugar” singer stepped on stage with Dev Hynes, hung out with Lizzo behind-the-scenes, and, as is usually the case, caused a commotion when it came to his outfit choices.
In the hours that followed, fans worked themselves into a frenzy over the sight of the Gucci leathers and fluffy sage green scarf he wore to perform, as well as the yellow plaid jacket he went for when it came to his red carpet appearance – with many pointing out the similarities between his second look and Cher Horowitz’s legendary skirt suit in Clueless.
Now, the real Cher – or rather, Alicia Silverstone, who played her in the cult movie – has given the look her seal of approval. Taking to Instagram last night (March 15), the actress posted a side-by-side of her and Styles in the look, and tbh, it’s basically uncanny. “I am loving the #Clueless vibes @harrystyles. Cher would be so honored (and totally approve!!) of this chic look,” she wrote in the caption, before congratulating him on best pop solo performance win.
Elsewhere, Ashley Tisdale weighed in on the discourse surrounding the ‘fit after others likened Styles’ look to the quite frankly iconic look she wore to the Princess Diaries 2 premiere in the early 00s. Posting a photo of Harry next to one of herself in a stunning pair of bootleg denim jeans, a cami and long-sleeved tee combo, and a pink feather boa, the actress simply captioned the post “haha” – whether that’s in approval or not… well, we’ll leave that one with you.
Revisit the best looks from the 2021 Grammys in the gallery below, and head here to find out seven things you never knew about the fashion in Clueless.
DUA LIPA
Showing up to the pre-show in a slick black Versace tux, Dua looked in Donatella’s direction once again when it came to her showstopper. Simple, sleek, and Swarovski-d to within an inch of its life, the singer looked every bit the perfect pop star in the floor-length, rose-tinted, nearly-naked gown. Going for a Versace hat-trick, she rounded things off with a glittering bra and big knickers when it came to her performance.
BEYONCÊ
Ladies, gentlemen, and those who do not ascribe to archaic gender norms, we bring you the most decorated Grammy winner in history – Ms. Beyoncé Knowles – in fresh from the runway Schiaparelli (complete with stringless mask). Drink it all in.
DEV HYNES
The Blood Orange icon joined Harry Styles on stage for his “Watermelon Sugar” performance in a leather coat and black beret. No sign of a feather boa in this instance: given Styles wore three different iterations throughout the night, seemingly Dev didn’t manage to get his hands on one.
DOJA CAT
Okay, now we’re talking. The “Say So” singer – who was up for three awards but took home none – went for OTT Roberto Cavalli as she took her turn on the red carpet. That unzipped-to-the-navel biker jacket-inspired bodice! Those lime green marabou feather frills! The whole thing harks back to the halcyon days of the early 00s, and naturally, we are extremely here for it.
DOJA CAT (PT.II)
Later, Doja slipped into some skin-tight Jean Paul Gaultier and a Gottmik-indebted anal bead-esque ponytail for her performance – which we think is definitely worth a mention.
BAD BUNNY
Viva la kilt – particularly when it comes to this ankle-length Burberry number, straight off Riccardo's AW21 runway.
HALLE BAILEY
Styled, as usual, by the inimitable Zerina Akers, both stars looked chic AF in full Louis Vuitton lewks, care of Nicolas Ghesquière. While Halle went for a cute mini...
KALI UCHIS
Scoring her first Grammy for collaborative Kaytranada track “10%”, Kali Uchis served body and tbh also face in a barely-there bodysuit by Mugler maestro Casey Cadwallader.
HAIM
In a sentence you probably weren’t expecting to hear this fine Monday morning, the Haim sisters were a vision in periwinkle. But this wasn’t any ordinary periwinkle: this was Prada periwinkle. Swiped straight from the runway of Miuccia and Raf’s SS21 show, the look came complete with one very Prada signature, as Alana clutched her coat together at her chest. Chic!
BILLIE EILISH
Billie Eilish turned up to the 2021 Grammys in a full Gucci look, before changing into... yet another full Gucci look for her heart-twisting performance of “everything i wanted”. Are we surprised? No. Would we have it any other way? Also no.
