It has been nothing short of a whirlwind start to the year for Harry Styles. Between a chart-topping album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally, and a looming world tour, the man is everywhere, including the streets of New York, as he braces to host Saturday Night Live this weekend.

Following a two-year hiatus, Harry’s return to the mainstream is gaining some serious momentum. Spotted heading into a pre-show cast dinner, it wasn’t just his presence that made headlines, but his choice of accessory, which confirmed his transition into a full-blown Chanel boy in waiting.

A breakdown of the look

Stepping out of his car in Midtown New York, the former One Directioner sported a relaxed ensemble complete with a navy crewneck sweater, dark wash denim jeans, and a pair of black penny loafers from The Row. He accessorised with black sunglasses and a Cartier Tank Louis watch. However, the piece which really stole the show was the Chanel bag draped over his shoulder.

The bag in question was a pony hair leopard print flap Chanel 25, which first debuted on the runway at Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Metiers d’art show in New York. Originally styled with a silky mustard shirt and trouser set and tweed check coat, Style’s instead transformed the bag into the main event, pairing it with the simple, relaxed ensemble.

The Chanel bag has been quick to make headlines, and Instagram users have wasted no time in sharing their thoughts on the look. One user wrote: “Love the purse. He has such fabulous taste.”

Other users added: “Love, love the purse”, and “he looks so good.”

While another asked the question on everyone’s lips: “Just want to know what’s in his purse lol please tell Harry.”
