Throughout 2026, W Magazine has ranked everyone from Sydney Sweeney and Rihanna to Teyana Taylor and Gisele Bündchen as cover stars. Sara Moonves (who the publication appointed editor-in-chief in 2019) continues her winning streak, securing yet another A-list talent for the New York-based publication. Next up on the cover of W Magazine is none other than Harry Styles, who fronts Volume #6 for the fall fashion issue. The chart-topping British singer-songwriter is profiled for the occasion by British photographer David Sims. In the studio-shot cover image, captured against a vivid orange backdrop, the Grammy Award-winning musician is styled by Harry Lambert wearing a custom Miu Miu jacket and pants and custom Calvin Klein underwear.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Not a Harry Styles fan. I could’ve done without someone else on the cover, but I do like how David Sims photographed him here. I like the orange backdrop, the art direction from W, and just how straightforward and direct the cover image itself is,” commented vogue28.

“It’s not a bad cover. But I never liked him. This won’t change that,” mikel chimed in.

Kimy Jo shared: “I don’t buy anything he sells; this will be no different.”

Yet not everyone shared the same disapproving sentiments. “I love Harry Styles and David Sims. A match made in heaven. I am in heaven,” enthused MModa.
