LOS ANGELES: Singer Harry Styles started off his headlining set at Coachella with a simple greeting – ‘Good evening. My name is Harry’.”It’s big in here, innit?” Styles cracked, before explaining how things were gonna go. “For the next 80-or-something minutes, our job is to entertain you. I promise you we’ll do our absolute very best. You also have one job – that is to have much fun as you possibly can. I want you to be whoever it is you always wanted to be in this field tonight,” reports ‘Variety’.For Styles, that meant a regression of sorts – to his younger, pre-One Direction days when he would sing Shania Twain songs in the car.”This lady taught me to sing,” said Styles of Twain. “She also told me that men are trash.” Said Twain: “I’m a bit starstruck, what can I say? No, really, I’m a fan of you, of course. I realise that when I was writing this song, you were just a little kid. It’s kind of a dream and very surreal to be sitting here right now to sing this song with you. I think I’m just in love and this song is all about love. So let’s just sing about love.” The two then took to stools to sing 1997’s ‘You’re Still the One’, reports ‘Variety’.Earlier in the set, Styles brought out a couple new songs of his own: the just-released ‘As It Was’, and a new tune presumably called ‘Boyfriends’, in which Styles remarked: “Who in the audience has ever had a boyfriend? Who in the audience has never had a boyfriend? To boyfriends everywhere, fuck you.”Styles implored the crowd “to please be gentle” for the track’s debut. The acoustic-based song with multiple harmonies tells of what seems like an on-again-off-again relationship in which, ‘You still open the door’.Later on, Styles debuted another unreleased track, ‘Late Night Talking’. Styles’ third studio album, ‘Harry’s House’, is due out May 20. It all related nicely to Styles’ comment at the top of the set: “We have a full moon, you have a ticket and I have to play.”

Olivia Wilde supports beau Harry Styles’ new beauty brand ‘Pleasing’
By ANI
WASHINGTON: Singer-actor Harry Styles recently announced his foray into the beauty industry with the launch of his brand ‘Pleasing’, and his ladylove and actor Olivia Wilde showed support for her beau by sharing his brand reveal post.
Taking to her Instagram Story, she cleverly captioned the black-and-white clip, “I find this very pleasing.”
Pleasing, available now for pre-order and officially dropping on November 29, will launch with two skincare serums and pearl-inspired nail polishes, reported People magazine.
Blurring the binary boundaries, Styles’ gender-neutral brand is inspired by the things he uses in his own beauty routine.
“When we decided Pleasing would make beauty products I wanted to be sure they were something I would use. I didn’t want to make products to mask people, I wanted to highlight them and make them feel beautiful,” Styles said talking about his brand.
The singer has proudly rocked nail art manicures for the past few years, so it is no surprise that nail lacquers would be an essential part of Pleasing’s first drop.
“It’s starting with nail polish because that was kind of the birth of what it was for. Me seeing a colour on a flower or a wallpaper or something and thinking, ‘Oh, I wanna put that on my nails.’ It was a fun little project, but during the pandemic, and when we eventually named it Pleasing, it felt like it was so much more than nail polish,” Styles told Dazed in a new cover story.
In addition to four pearl-inspired polishes, Styles will introduce skincare to the world with his first launch. The two innovations include the Pleasing Pen (a dual-ended lip and eye serum) and the Pearlescent Illuminating Serum.
Speaking of Wilde and Style’s relationship, the couple was first romantically linked in January, as they filmed her upcoming movie ‘Don’t Worry Darling’. After directing him in the psychological thriller, in which she also stars, they were seen holding hands at a friend’s wedding.
Wilde’s new relationship comes after she and Jason Sudeikis quietly ended their engagement early last year. The exes began dating in 2011 and got engaged in 2013, sharing son Otis Alexander and daughter Daisy Josephine.
