Harry Styles opened the 2026 BRIT Awards with a captivating performance of his song, “Aperture,” which is featured on his forthcoming album, “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.”
The former One Direction member hit the stage on Saturday, taking the crowd’s focus as the only person in white among the sea of performers wearing black t-shirts and blue jeans outfits, per a video of the performance shared online.
His outfit delivered office chic as he paired his button down with a black striped tie and black pinstripe trousers.
Styles, 32, opened the show sitting atop a set of bleachers in the middle of his dancers, performing some of their choreography before he moved across the stage as his song picked up where he was joined by a choir of background voices.
The performance marks the first time the “Watermelon Sugar” hitmaker has performed any music from his new album on television.
Prior to the performance, Styles gave viewers a closer look at his full ensemble when he walked the red carpet — his first in three years — in an oversized black bouclé pinstriped Chanel suit, which he layered over a light mint pinstriped button-down shirt.
For accessories, he went with a gray and black tie and black ballet flats with bows, also by Chanel.
On his right hand, he sported a single gold pinkie ring. His facial hair was styled in a scruffy, light beard for the outing.
The ensemble hails from Chanel’s Métiers d’Art 2026 collection, according to Vogue.
His return to the BRIT Awards stage comes three years after his last performance at the awards show, where he opened the ceremony with a show-stopping rendition of his song, “As It Was.”
In 2023, he took home four award wins for Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, and British Pop Act following the release of his last album “Harry’s House.”
