But he’s finally putting himself back in the spotlight with the reveal of not one but three new magazine covers for _Another Man_ magazine, accompanied by an interview by — wait for it — rock legend [Paul McCartney himself](http://time.com/4447076/paul-mccartney-kanye-west-andy-warhol-interview/?iid=sr-link3), the original Britpop boy-bander-turned-successful-solo-artist. (Comedian Chelsea Handler also conducted the interview, for reasons that remain unclear.) But the most important part of this reveal is the evolution of Styles’s iconic locks. [Once long and flowing](http://time.com/4321765/harry-styles-cut-hair-one-direction/?iid=sr-link4), he has since chopped them, perhaps for his role in Christopher Nolan’s [upcoming war epic _Dunkirk_](http://time.com/4440143/dunkirk-trailer-christopher-nolan/?iid=sr-link3). The photo shoots for _Another Man_, however, appear to have taken place over an extended period of time, giving us the definitive three-stage history of Styles’ styles. First, there’s his classically disheveled long-hair look, one which fans know, love, and have mourned: Then there’s a mid-phase bowl cut, in which the uncanny Mick Jagger resemblance is made undeniable: And finally we get a look at the short-shorn present. All three covers, it’s worth noting, feature some intriguing fashion: belts-as-chokers, a mohair sweater, and that Fair Isle turtleneck give the trifecta a distinctly punk-ish 70s vibe. The interview is out on Sept. 29, at which point we will finally discover Chelsea Handler chatting with two of rock-pop’s greats. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4507965/harry-style-magazine-cover-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4507965/harry-style-magazine-cover-photos/"},"headline":"One Direction's Harry Styles Showcases His Dramatic Hair Evolution In Three New Magazine Covers","datePublished":"2016-09-26T17:29:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:00.449Z","description":"The styles of Styles","url":"https://time.com/4507965/harry-style-magazine-cover-photos/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities","Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4507965/harry-style-magazine-cover-photos/","name":"One Direction's Harry Styles Showcases His Dramatic Hair Evolution In Three New Magazine Covers"}}]}] ```
