Harry Styles was spotted enjoying a sunny day in Anguilla, where he flaunted his tattooed physique while taking a dip in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday. The 29-year-old singer, known for his ever-evolving fashion and style, appeared to be in great spirits as he soaked up the sun with his girlfriend Taylor Russell and close friend James Corden.
Styles, who first rose to fame as part of the global sensation One Direction, is no stranger to grabbing headlines, and this latest appearance was no exception. His toned, tattoo-covered body was on full display as he took a refreshing swim, showing off the iconic swallow tattoos on his chest as well as the large butterfly inking that has become a signature of his distinctive look.
Fans of the “Watermelon Sugar” hitmaker may be relieved to see his hair growing back after he shocked many by shaving off his famous curly locks last year. Sporting a thicker head of hair and facial stubble, Styles appeared to be embracing a more rugged look, a departure from his usual clean-cut image. The short-lived buzz cut may have been polarizing among fans, but the singer seems to have moved on, with a more relaxed and casual style fitting for a tropical getaway.
Styles has been spending time on a luxurious yacht in Anguilla, where he, Russell, and Corden are vacationing to ring in the New Year. The group was seen at the picturesque Meads Bay Beach, one of the Caribbean island’s most stunning locations, known for its white sands and crystal-clear waters. While Styles took a swim back to the yacht, Russell was enjoying herself onshore, posing for photos taken by a friend. The 29-year-old actress, known for her role in *Bones and All*, looked stylish in a white crochet cover-up and a casual bandana, exuding a carefree beach vibe.
Meanwhile, Corden, Styles’ long-time friend, cut a laid-back figure in a polo T-shirt and navy shorts, sharing laughs with other members of the group. The trio seemed to be having a fantastic time as they ventured to Blanchards Restaurant and Beach Shack, a highly-regarded dining spot on the island. With innovative cuisine from Chef Melinda Blanchard, Blanchards is hailed as one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch.
This sun-soaked getaway comes as Styles and Russell’s relationship continues to blossom. The pair was first romantically linked in June 2023 after being spotted together at an art gallery in London. Since then, they’ve been seen together on numerous occasions, with their relationship apparently going from strength to strength. According to *Us Weekly*, an insider revealed that Styles is “head over heels” for Russell and “sees a future” with her. The source also added, “Things are very serious, and Harry loves spending as much time with her as he can.”
Despite their busy schedules, both stars have been making time for each other. Russell, who was starring in the play *The Effect* at the National Theatre in London, reportedly had Styles by her side at the afterparty for the show’s final night. Their ability to support one another despite their demanding careers seems to be a cornerstone of their blossoming relationship.
While in London, Styles had been staying at a posh hotel, reportedly costing £2,500 a night, as renovations continue on his sprawling £50 million mansion. The singer purchased two 18th-century houses in North London in 2020 and has been working on transforming them into a single luxurious property. A source told *The Sun*, “Harry has understandably kept a wide berth from his pad while the major works are underway and has checked into a lavish hotel while in London. His girlfriend Taylor has been staying with him, and they’ve been keeping a low profile.”
The couple has been spotted around the city, enjoying coffee, snacks, and even cycling together like tourists. Despite being major celebrities, they’ve managed to maintain a relatively private relationship, opting for low-key outings rather than flashy public appearances.
Harry Styles and James Corden’s friendship is well-documented, with the two frequently going on vacations together. In July 2023, the duo was seen traveling through Italy, and they’ve maintained a close bond since they first met when Corden interviewed One Direction in 2015. Speaking to Howard Stern about his relationship with Styles, Corden described him as “so special as a human,” adding that their bond is rooted in genuine friendship.
Corden shared a humorous story about attempting to keep up with Styles on a past vacation. “When we went on this one vacation, I made this pact where I said, ‘I’m only going to eat when you eat. I’m going to work out when you work out, and I’m going to eat what you eat.’ I thought it was going to have a really positive impact on me,” Corden explained. However, the plan didn’t last long. “I lasted 36 hours,” Corden laughed, admitting that once he had a drink, he caved and ordered fries, saying, “I’m on holiday.”
As Styles continues to enjoy his time in Anguilla with his girlfriend and close friend, fans are sure to be keeping an eye on the star, eagerly awaiting his next move—both in his personal life and his flourishing music career. For now, though, it seems the singer is content to relax and soak up the sun in the Caribbean.
