Adding to the consensus, someone else gushed, “Harry Styles is the ultimate heartthrob. So happy to see him get the recognition he deserves.”
“No surprise there! Harry Styles has charisma and talent that captivates everyone! Who wouldn’t agree with that choice? 🔥,” penned a loyal supporter. Making their comment short and sweet, another swooned, “Deserved 😍😍❤️.”
The praise continued with an observer commenting, “As he should, thank you very much,” while another added, “Anyone who disagrees is wrong.” However, not all fans were entirely satisfied with just the Sexiest Musician Alive title for their favorite star.
“They name him sexiest musician but he’s not even on the sexiest men list. It’s absurd n [sic] Because we all know he looks better than all the other dudes,” opined a loyal follower.
A supporter who has continuously admired the “As It Was” singer’s alluring physique over the years expressed, “Harry Styles [sic] body is a work of art 🖼️ I said it before but I will say it again and repeat myself over and over again.”
While the win may have seemed inevitable to Harry’s fans, it did not stop title contender Role Model from playfully venting his frustrations with the result on social media.
In a video shared by Capital Buzz on TikTok, the runner-up, who had made a compelling campaign explaining why he should have been the winner, addressed both the public and People in a tongue-in-cheek “speech.” “I heard about the counts, a lot of you voted for me. But, I wanna speak,” said the “hello!” artist.
Continuing, he stated, “To those who voted for Harry Styles, I hope you’re happy. I hope your day is made from this because guess what? His publicist isn’t even going to mention this to him. He won’t know about this. That boy’s in Fiji somewhere. This is — that’s how insignificant this is to him.”
In a mock attempt to amplify the “injustice” of his loss, Role Model quipped, “And to People magazine, I’m treading lightly here, you had an opportunity to really do something for the culture; to create this beautiful ending to an underdog story, and you didn’t.”
Despite how Role Model may feel, it’s hard to deny the magnetism that secured Harry his title, as the “Watermelon Sugar” musician’s striking features have sparked countless discussions in the past.
In 2022, The Sun published an article analyzing why Harry had once been declared the world’s most handsome man. The article cited scientific elements like the golden ratio as well as the impressions of a psychologist and a stylist as the basis for the title.
Psychologist Jo Hemmings was one expert who weighed in on Harry’s captivating appearance. She pointed out his “intense, captivating seafoam green eyes,” which, she explained, are “a bit unusual.”

Jo also noted how Harry’s eye contact creates an intimate connection with others, sharing, “He very often looks at people face on and makes them feel like they are the only person who matters.”
Harry’s charm, however, extends beyond his eyes, as his signature hair amplifies his allure as well. Celebrity hairstylist Nicky Lazou called his locks a “perfect visible metaphor for the power that he holds as a person.”
She also mentioned that this boldness, symbolized by his voluminous, tousled hair, only increases his attractiveness.
“Harry’s hair is glossy and thick. Whether he’s pulled it back or let it loose, there’s something wild about it,” added Jo, who also noted how the star’s tattoos enhance the “wild nature” of Harry’s physical features.
Aside from opinions and analyses asserted by the public, Harry has previously offered his fans a glimpse into how he maintains his alluring physique and grounded mindset.
In a 2020 interview with Vogue, the singer, who also acts, revealed that he practices pilates and meditates twice a day, which he noted as beneficial to his mental health. “It has changed my life,” divulged the actor, who attributed meditation to helping him stay present and enjoy life’s small moments.
“I feel like I’m able to enjoy the things that are happening right in front of me, even if it’s food or it’s coffee or it’s being with a friend — or a swim in a really cold pond!” disclosed Harry Styles.
He also spoke about leading a pescatarian lifestyle as he was inspired by the vegan meals prepared by members of his band on tour. “My body definitely feels better for it,” shared the “Dunkirk” star about his dietary decision.
Harry’s commitment to wellness is mirrored in his physical appearance. His toned physique is adorned with various tattoos, many of which carry personal significance.
Among them are symbols like a rose, a galleon, a mermaid, and an anchor, as well as the birth years of his mother and father, inked across his collarbone.
