“I fear I may not survive his comeback” — Fans react as Harry Styles makes an appearance at London Fashion Week with a mullet

Harry Styles made an appearance during the London Fashion Week at the Daley Fashion Show on September 13, 2024. The Watermelon Sugar hitmaker, who has kept a low profile in recent months, was photographed sitting in the front row at the fashion event beside Anna Wintour.

The 30-year-old’s mullet hairstyle has drawn varying reactions from Netizens on X, formerly known as Twitter, with one commenting:

“Tiktok just showed me that Harry Styles has a mullet. I fear I may not survive his comeback.”

Other fan reactions were recorded on the social media platform:

“Both Lando Norris and Harry Styles having a mullet at the same time i can’t believe this is my life,” one user commented.

“Harry Styles mullet era this is what life is about!!” a fan commented on X.

“Harry Styles debuting a mullet at London Fashion Week because why not? We stan a king who takes fashion risks even if they’re kinda cray!” another fan commented.

However, some fans expressed their preference for Styles’ previous hairstyles:

“I do miss Harry’s hair but I think he pulls off this weird little jimmy neutron mullet,’’ an X user commented.

“I really love Harry and he obviously can do whatever he wants. But if he should be the reason that men start having mullets again I’m not sure I can forgive him that,” one fan stated.

“While I love and adore Harry's lil mullet, I miss his curls sm!! I truly wish he’d do a curly mullet look. But I get he probably wanted something completely new it’s just the curls have been his identity for so long I MISS them,” another fan said.

Harry Styles made his first London Fashion Week appearance in more than 10 years in a mullet hairstyle

Harry Styles’ hairstyles have evolved through the years. In his early days as a One Direction member, the singer was known for his long curls that framed his face.

The British singer was later spotted with a shaved head at the U2 concert with Taylor Russell, his now ex-girlfriend in November 2023. The bold new look prompted reactions from fans and led to his mother, Anne Twist, addressing negative comments in an Instagram post on November 17, 2023.

She said:

“When you consider that H has a legacy of kindness and inclusion, has always made every effort to make everyone feel seen and appreciated for exactly who they are….there’s an irony in the negativity he’s being shown for having a haircut. Sorry, but I don’t get it.”

The As It Was singer later rocked trimmed short hair at a Premier League match between Luton Town and Manchester United in England in February 2024.

On September 13, 2024, Harry Styles showed support for Steven Stokey-Daley’s fashion label S. S. Daley at the London Fashion Week, in a tailored navy blue set from the brand and a mullet. The London Fashion Week outing is the singer's first in more than 10 years since 2013 when he sat front row for a Burberry Prorsum show. He attended the show on Friday alongside industry icons like Anna Wintour, Emma Corrin, Cate Blanchett and Sebastian Croft.

Styles' fashion week appearance comes in the wake of reports by the Daily Mail UK in March 2024 that the singer was recording a top secret album--reportedly his "most emotional" one yet. According to the publication, he was spotted coming out of Rak music studios in St. John's Wood, "hard at work on a new album." Other music stars who had frequented the studio at some point include Adele, Ed Sheeran and David Bowie.

Harry Styles' last album, Harry's House, released in May 2022, debuted with the best first week sales in Styles' career. Harry's House debuted number one on the UK Albums chart and Billboard 200. The album won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards 2023 and British Album of the Year at the Brit Awards 2023, amongst others.
