As photographer Rafael Pavarotti readies his camera, DazedвЂ™s editor-in-chief Ibrahim Kamara takes Styles through the proposed looks for the shoot.

Our shoot is no exception in bringing on the glam. HeвЂ™s donned a frilly gown on a Vogue cover and gets your grandmaвЂ™s cardi (OK, it was actually JW Anderson) a permanent spot in the V&A. But that we already knew: the aforementioned face of Gucci is often feted as our generationвЂ™s Bowie in his fearless, genderless and boundary-less approach to fashion. HeвЂ™s dressed in a fitted baby tee and low-slung jeans, kept just so by an umber-brown belt, and finished with a crochet skull beanie that reads вЂattainableвЂ™, though I am not quite sure it would look as uncontrived on anyone else. (A recent study suggested StylesвЂ™ sea foam-green eye colour was the most beautiful in human existence.) A certain sort of wanton sex appeal that even the most hardened of critics couldnвЂ™t resist radiates when he looks you in the eye, something heвЂ™s careful to do when you are in conversation. Immediately, youвЂ™re struck by his presence. Perfectly on time, and flanked by a burly and ever-present security guard, heвЂ™s quiet and reserved but polite, greeting everyone with a northern accent thatвЂ™s been slightly tweaked by his years in LA.

Despite the furiously quick turnaround from inception to execution of the shoot (things in HSвЂ™s world happen quickly and meticulously), the star is in wonderful spirits.

вЂњA room full of people just loving each other is so powerful.вЂќДЄ few weeks ahead of our conversation, Styles quietly emerges at an airy photo studio in Los Angeles for his Dazed cover shoot. Humans interacting and accepting each other,вЂќ says Styles, expressing wonder at the zeal of his committed fandom, the Stylers. Having the most basic version of a good time. Not coming to the front of the stage, because theyвЂ™re hanging out at the back, dancing like nobodyвЂ™s watching. (At the shows) I get kind of a front-row seat to see a bunch of people getting in a room together and just being themselves. but bringing people together is the thing IвЂ™m most proud of. вЂњItвЂ™s funny because I donвЂ™t think of myself that way (as a style icon). Case in point: вЂ #hslotoutfitвЂ™ (StylesвЂ™ Love On Tour outfit, in case you were wondering) hit 37 million views on TikTok in the US alone. Affirmations of beauty are swapped, expression is celebrated and friendships are formed under the umbrella of the pop phenom. But put aside StylesвЂ™ Mick Jagger swagger, and the crowd, made up of all ages, races, genders and sexualities, feel bound to something a little deeper than just the look and charm of the 27-year-old performer.

All outfits are courtesy of Alessandro Michele, StylesвЂ™ friend and creative director of Gucci, of which Styles has long been a brand face.Д®nveloped in the rapture, the crowd hangs on to every minute of his husky growl and swivel of the hip as he breaks out into a spooky rendition of Britney SpearsвЂ™ вЂњToxicвЂќ. Not one to miss out on the chance for a display of style, Styles appeared on stage as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, complete with a sparkly blue pinafore with matching bow, and of course, ruby-red slippers (his band make up the Tin Man, Glinda the Good Witch et al). Crowds outside gathered in traditional All HallowsвЂ™ Eve getups of ghouls and goblins, and many paid homage to StylesвЂ™ signature style (think feather boas, kick-out flares and heavy-set platforms). On the bird-call from their faithful leader, his legions of fans turned up to the concert in fancy dress.

In the final leg of his sold-out Love On Tour series of shows, his six-person band took to New YorkвЂ™s Madison Square Garden on the weekend of Halloween.
