Is that you, Harry Styles? One Direction fans are thinking Styles looks more like former bandmate Louis Tomlinson after seeing his new hairstyle, which has replaced the lengthy, swept back locks he sported on the cover of Rolling Stone earlier this summer. Styles’ new look is remarkably shorter and messier, and also accompanies a bit of wispy facial hair as well.

So far, the look has been quite divisive online, with fans taking to social media to react to the haircut. While some fans went as far to say they would “unstan” the musician for it, others stood up for him. Others wondered if it could be a sign that his second solo album was on its way.

In the September issue of Rolling Stone, Styles, 25, shared that he’s putting the finishing touches on his second studio album, HS2, after his self-titled debut dropped in May 2017. He noted the new album is “all about having sex and feeling sad.” He was also candid about using drugs while recording the new album.
“We’d do mushrooms, lie down on the grass, and listen to Paul McCartney’s Ram in the sunshine,” he said about his creative process at Shangri-La studios in Malibu, California. “We’d just turn the speakers into the yard.”

“You’d hear the blender going, and think, ‘So we’re all having frozen margaritas at 10 a.m. this morning,’” he continued. “This is where I was standing when we were doing mushrooms and I bit off the tip of my tongue. So I was trying to sing with all this blood gushing out of my mouth. So many fond memories, this place. … ‘Mushrooms and Blood.’ Now there’s an album title.”
