Harry Styles wears a dress for US Vogue as first male cover star in 127 years
HARRY Styles has become the first male cover star to grace the cover of America's Vogue magazine solo - and he's done it in a dress.
The former One Direction singer told the : "I find myself looking at women’s clothes, thinking they’re amazing."
The striking cover sees Harry, 26, posing outside in a white gown and a blazer and with a balloon in his mouth.
Another shot sees him in an elaborate high-fashion skirt as he gazes at the camera with rolling English hills in the background.
Speaking to Vogue, he said: "Clothes are there to have fun with and experiment with and play with."
He added: "When you take away ‘There’s clothes for men and there’s clothes for women,’ once you remove any barriers, obviously you open up the arena in which you can play.
"I’ll go in shops sometimes, and I just find myself looking at the women’s clothes thinking they’re amazing.
"It’s like anything - anytime you’re putting barriers up in your own life, you’re just limiting yourself. There’s so much joy to be had in playing with clothes."
Harry added that he is planning a temporary move to Japan and spoke warmly about his time in One Direction.
He said that unlike some boyband stars, who feel like they should apologise for their time as music heart-throbs, he "loved" being in 1D.
