Harry Styles' Unconventional Evolution From Boy Bander to Bona Fide Pop Superstar

At 26 years old, Harry Styles is a bona fide pop superstar. The British artist may have started his musical career as one-fifth of the mega boy band One Direction, but with his solo career, he has cemented himself in music history with his unconventional sound, look and public persona.

ET is taking a look at how Styles has paved his own unique way in both the entertainment and fashion industries.

Breaking the Boy Band Mold

Musically, after One Direction disbanded in 2016, Styles' solo debut single, "Sign of the Times," was a breath of fresh air for the singer, who took a somewhat unexpected direction with his sound. The melancholic song peaked at No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was named "Song of the Year" by Rolling Stone in 2017. His '70s soft-rock vibe self-titled debut album also topped the charts in 14 countries.

His second album, Fine Line (2019), debuted at No.1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, breaking the record as the biggest sales debut from an English male artist in the U.S. While Styles released four singles from the LP, it was "Adore You" and "Watermelon Sugar" (and their accompanying music videos) that enamored fans and critics with their quirky and cheeky nuances. The latter also became Styles' first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Add to that two successful headlining tours and playing for 36,000 people at Madison Square Garden in New York and major arenas all over the world. He also made quite an impressive acting debut in Christopher Nolan’s 2017 Oscar-nominated war movie, Dunkirk. The famed director even admitted to being unaware of Styles' fame and cast him out of more than a hundred actors "because he fit the part wonderfully and truly earned a seat at the table."
