The singer was performing the first of two ‘Harryween’ concerts at Madison Square Garden last night (October 30), marking the penultimate date of his mammoth 30-night residency at the venue.

Para a ocasião, Styles inicialmente apareceu vestido como Elvis Presley, usando o jumpsuit branco assinatura do Rei, completo com capa e óculos de sol dourados.

Sua banda de apoio e dançarinos também abraçaram o tema de Halloween, se vestindo como várias versões de Styles ao longo de sua carreira, incluindo looks inspirados em suas aparições no Coachella, nos Grammys e no Met Gala.

Later in the show, however, Styles changed into an altogether different costume, recreating the clothes he wore for his original audition on The X Factor in 2010.

He went on to perform ‘Isn’t She Lovely’, the Stevie Wonder classic that helped launch his career when he sang it for judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh at the age of 16.

Styles also jokingly recreated one of his memorable comments from the audition, telling the Madison Square Garden audience: “I work in a bakery.”.

Watch footage of the performance below.

A audição original registrou Styles chegando como um adolescente de Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, onde ele trabalhava meio período em uma padaria.

Although viewers initially saw him perform Wonder’s 1976 hit a cappella, extended footage released by The X Factor in 2022 revealed that he had first attempted Train’s ‘Hey, Soul Sister’.

Cowell interrupted that performance and asked: “I don’t know whether it’s the track that’s throwing you, but can I hear something just you, without any music?”.

Styles then sang ‘Isn’t She Lovely’, advancing to the next stage of the competition before eventually being brought together with Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson to form One Direction.

Revisit the original audition below.

As mudanças de figurino fizeram parte da tradição “Harryween” revivida de Styles, que primeiro o viu realizar dois shows especiais de Halloween no Madison Square Garden em 2021.

On the opening night that year, he dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard Of Oz and performed ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’, with his band dressed as other characters from the 1939 film.

Na noite seguinte, ele se vestiu com um elaborado traje de palhaço e interpretou 'Toxic', da Britney Spears.

Styles continued the tradition in Los Angeles in 2022, when he dressed as Danny Zuko from Grease and covered Olivia Newton-John‘s ‘Hopelessly Devoted To You’.

O último concerto chega próximo ao fim da residência de 30 noites de Styles no Madison Square Garden, que começou em agosto como parte de sua turnê mundial “Together, Together”.

Earlier this week, he performed ‘Ever Since New York’ for the first time in four years, while the residency has also seen him pay tribute to his late One Direction bandmate Liam Payne with the new song ‘What Is Enough’.

The New York run concludes tonight (October 31) with a second ‘Harryween’ show, before Styles heads to Australia for concerts in Melbourne and Sydney in November and December.

The tour comes in support of his fourth solo album ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally’, which was released in March and received a four-star review from NME.

Ao revisar a turnê “Together, Together” em Amsterdã em maio, o NME premiou a apresentação com cinco estrelas, elogiando seu senso de comunidade e descrevendo-a como “a hopeful celebration of community and connection”.

Styles has also announced further tour dates for 2027, including additional Wembley Stadium concerts and support from Kylie Minogue, LCD Soundsystem and more.
