Harry Styles brings his most iconic looks to the “everyday man” in a funny new sketch on Saturday Night Live.
Serving as both host and musical guest on the NBC sketch comedy show on March 14, the pop superstar appeared in a live skit titled “Harry for Him,” where he pitched a fictional men’s fashion line in partnership with Target.
“For years I’ve been turning heads with my bold, confident style, and I’ve been approached by countless women who say, ‘My husband’s look is so boring. I wish he dressed more like you.’ Well now, he can,” Styles says at the start of the bit. “I’ve partnered with Target to recreate some of my extraordinary looks for the ordinary man — at a price he can afford. Harry for Him, by Harry Styles. I pulled these looks off, now you can too.”
From there, SNL cast members Ben Marshall, James Austin Johnson, Andrew Dismukes, Mikey Day, Kam Patterson, Marcello Hernández and Kenan Thompson take turns modeling some of Styles’ most outrageous outfits over the years. Styles nails the daring outfits, but can everyday guys pull them off?
“I’m not convinced. When you see me in a side-by-side with Harry, the answer is definitely no,” says Marshall, visibly uncomfortable in the pop star’s checkered rainbow jumpsuit from the 2023 Grammy Awards.
Next, Johnson takes on Styles’ iconic 2019 Met Gala outfit, a frilly, sheer lace top paired with black pants and a dangling pearl earring.
“When Harry wore this, my wife said he looked like the embodiment of elegant masculinity,” the comedian says. “When I wore this, she said, ‘You look like a serial killer who’s wearing the clothes of a woman he killed.’”
Styles then steps in to reassure Johnson, telling him he looks “hot” and pointing out that the Harry for Him line also includes more casual pieces. One of these is the flamboyant sequin outfit the artist wore during a 2022 Coachella performance.
“When he wore this during an awards show, he received glowing reviews,” Dismukes adds while modeling the ensemble. “When I wore this to my 12-year-old son’s basketball game, the reviews were mixed. Some people told me I looked terrible, while others told me to go home and change.”
The sketch continues with more of Styles’ memorable outfits, including the Wizard of Oz-themed Dorothy costume he wore on stage at New York’s Madison Square Garden for Halloween in 2021.
Elsewhere in Saturday’s episode, Styles reflected on his time away from music in a funny opening monologue, then performed two songs from his fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
