Harry Styles Vogue cover controversy: All you need to know

Singer-Songwriter Harry Styles became the first-ever man to feature solo on the cover of Vogue in its 128-year long history. Added to the achievement was the fact that he was wearing a lilac blue Gucci ballgown, which had black lace trimmings, and the look was topped off with a black tuxedo jacket, all created by the creative director of Gucci, Alessandro Michele.

However, a few criticised the singer for wearing a dress for the photoshoot, with one Twitter user stating “bring back manly men”.

The conservative commentator, Candace Owens, replied to Vogue’s tweet which shared images from Harry’s photoshoot saying, “There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. It is an outright attack. Bring back manly men”

The tweet immediately received backlash and many celebrities rushed to defend Harry.
