At the 2019 Met Gala, Gucci dressed Harry Styles in a sheer black blouse.
Styles wore a black sheer Gucci blouse with high-waisted black trousers and a single pearl earring at the 2019 Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit. The outfit combined traditionally masculine tailoring with transparent fabric and jewelry, contributing to Styles’s image as a boundary-pushing fashion figure.
The gala’s theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” based on Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Notes on ‘Camp.’” Camp fashion often embraces exaggeration, theatricality, irony, and deliberate artifice. Styles attended as one of the event’s co-chairs, alongside Lady Gaga, Alessandro Michele, Serena Williams, and Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele.
The look is sometimes described simply as a Gucci outfit, but Gucci is the fashion house and Alessandro Michele was the brand’s creative director at the time. Styles later worked with Gucci on further stage and editorial looks.
