Gen-Z poster boy Harry Styles is forever reminding the fashion circuit that he needs no assistance when it comes to the wardrobe department.
A walking ambassador for Gucci, the musician boasts a closet packed with flamboyant pussy-bow blouses, flared velvet suits and a week’s worth of snaffle loafers.
But even the 25-year-old gets stuck for inspiration every once in a while and who better to look to than the industry’s reigning muse?
Enter: Princess Diana.

In a matchy-matchy moment sure to make the fashion history books, music royalty Harry Styles just paid sartorial homage to real-life royalty in an ensemble inspired by the late Princess of Wales.
On Wednesday evening, Styles pounded the pavements of New York in a sheep-emblazoned Lanvin jumper plucked from the brand’s spring/summer 2020 line.
But this wasn’t any old fashion moment, as GQ editor Rachel Seville Tashjian was the first to note that the gloriously geeky number bears striking resemblance to a jumper Princess Diana first donned at a polo match circa 1989.
Further demonstrating his knack at making outfits that – let’s be frank here, really shouldn’t work on paper – work wonders. Within sheer minutes, paparazzi shots of the singer were doing the rounds on Instagram.
Styles slipped a striped shirt beneath the geeky pull-over – sleeves rolled up for good measure – with mannish pinstripe trousers to finish.
Throw in a pair of patent candy floss pink leather loafers (Gucci, durr) and it was a look destined to grace every fan girl’s Tumblr page.
For anyone out there keen to give the Kensington Palace approved trend a whirl this season, a $2,527 full-sleeve version is currently available to shop.
Princess Diana’s original jumper was from Warm & Wonderful, designed by Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne.
Delivering a lesson in regal off-duty dressing, the mother-of-two layered the farm-themed knit over a sweet Peter Pan blouse with red block heels to match.

Although Styles isn’t the first A-lister to look to her wardrobe in recent weeks.
Back in August, Hailey Bieber played dress-up in some of the royal’s most referenced looks for the pages of Vogue Paris.
At the hands of photographer Gregory Harris and stylist Virginie Benarroch, the model gave a millennial spin on everything from Princess Diana’s now-iconic Harbour Club uniform to her weekend Sloane Ranger aesthetic.
The moral of the story? Don’t throw out your cycling shorts just yet.
