Harry Styles opens BRIT Awards with 'Aperture' performance

Harry Styles opened the 2026 BRIT Awards with a performance of 'Aperture,' a track from his forthcoming album 'Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.' He stood out onstage as the only performer in white among a sea of dancers in black t-shirts and blue jeans, wearing a button-down, a black striped tie and black pinstripe trousers.

Styles began the set sitting atop a set of bleachers in the middle of his dancers, leading some of their choreography before moving across the stage as background voices joined in. The appearance marked the first time he has performed material from the new album on television.

On the red carpet — his first in three years — he wore an oversized black bouclé pinstriped Chanel suit over a light mint pinstriped button-down. He completed the look with a gray-and-black tie, black ballet flats with bows and a single gold pinkie ring, his facial hair styled in a scruffy, light beard; Vogue identified the ensemble as part of Chanel’s Métiers d’Art 2026 collection.
