Harry Styles Wears Elvis and X Factor Looks at Madison Square Garden Halloween Concert

Harry Styles performed at Madison Square Garden in New York on Friday, Oct. 30, the 29th of 30 shows in his Together, Together residency. He opened dressed as Elvis Presley, then changed into the outfit he wore at his 2010 X Factor audition and sang Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely," the song he used to audition at 16. He repeated a line from that audition, "I work in a bakery." Fans attended in Halloween costumes, and Zoe Kravitz, described as his fiancée, watched from the front row in costume while Riley Keough filmed the performance. The final concert of the residency is set for this weekend.

The right-leaning Daily Mail leads with the Elvis costume, describing Styles's hip gyrations and a squealing crowd, and makes Kravitz a central figure, calling her smitten fiancée in the headline and identifying her costume as Lucifer. Its excerpt does not mention the X Factor outfit. The left-leaning Rolling Stone, under a headline built around the X Factor look, presents the costume as a nod to Styles's 16-year-old self and recalls his 2021 Dorothy performance and a Wednesday surprise performance of "Ever Since New York." The alternative Billboard also leads with the audition look, adding the bakery job at his Holmes Chapel hometown and noting the Elvis opener nods to his first recording, a cover of Presley's "The Girl of My Best Friend." Left and alternative sources agree on the audition outfit and song; the right differs in emphasis, centering the Elvis look and romance rather than personal history.
