The former One Direction star made history as the first-ever male to grace the cover of the magazine and was photographed in a Gucci dress for the occasion.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Porter says that all Styles had to do for the opportunity is “be white and straight.” “I feel like the fashion industry has accepted me because they have to,” the Pose star explains. “I’m not necessarily convinced and here is why.
I created the conversation [about non-binary fashion] and yet Vogue still put Harry Styles, a straight white man, in a dress on their cover for the first time.” Porter goes on to add that he is “not dragging Harry Styles” but that more suitable people could have been found for the iconic cover.
