Through the fashion, beauty, film, and music industries, one man has done it all this year. Harry Styles, an award-winning pop sensation, has made incredible strides in his career this year, making it hard to miss him. In addition to his already successful music career, Styles has made a name for himself in the film industry by starring in two major movie roles, a credible name in beauty with the continued development of his Pleasing brand, and an iconic role in fashion with his glammering outfits. Not only has Harry Styles’ brand grown tremendously over the past year, but
his message of treating people with kindness has continued to spread among his fans and the world.

Styles’ most known achievements have been made in the music industry with five awards being added to his name in just 2022 alone. With his third solo album, Harry’s House being released in May 2022, Styles topped the charts and became one of the most popular artists of 2022. For his newest album, Styles won Album of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards, Best International Album at the LOS40 Music Awards, and Best International Artist at the ARIA Music Award.

In addition to Styles’ album becoming a popular hit among millions of fans, his presence in several well-known arenas made his name spread beyond his fans. Most notably, Styles went on his international tour known as “Love On Tour.” His set list included songs from all three of his solo albums and even a song by his former boy band, One Direction. I had the pleasure of being present during one of his concerts while he was on tour and I feel as if I have never been in a more comfortable, safe, and loving environment. Aside from the atmosphere, fans came in flamboyant outfits to match Styles’ newfound style.

You would think that participating in a tour taking place over the course of a year in dozens of different locations would be it for Styles, but instead, he continued to engage in several other endeavors while releasing music and performing around the world. Before going on tour, Styles’ got the headlining spot in the country’s most popular music festival: Coachella. With special guests like Lizzo and Shania Twain, Harry brought the house down (no pun intended). Much like his tour, Styles created a carefree, loving, and positive environment for his audience both in
person and online.

During his tour, Styles was involved in two major films released in 2022. Films like Don’t Worry Darling and My Policeman were released while Styles was on tour. His days off included movie premieres and promos and soon he was back on tour again. Styles was simultaneously making a name for himself in the film industry and continuing to build his legacy in music.

Styles was also continuing to build his beauty brand, Pleasing, which carried products such as nail polish, skincare, and merch. As the founder, Styles has kickstarted his presence in the beauty industry and continues to make his products available to his fans. Since the start of 2022, Pleasing’s options of products have grown and the brand has made its presence known in locations across the nation.

You can not talk about Harry Styles without mentioning his flamboyant style and influence in the fashion industry. From his red carpet looks to his trendy streetwear, Styles’ style has influenced millions of his fans to do the same. Specifically, his style has impacted the way in which his fans dress at his concerts. Feather boas, leather pants, corduroy jumpsuits, and strawberry-printed cardigans have taken over arenas as Styles’ fashion influence has spread.

Although Styles’ has been in the limelight for the past twelve years, his influence still continues to grow. Specifically, 2022 has been the year in which Styles’ influence has gone beyond music by entering fashion, beauty, and film. Throughout all his new endeavors one thing has remained constant, his ability to spread positivity and love all across the globe. In the words of Harry Styles, continue to “treat people with kindness” this year and the next.
