From Glastonbury Heat To Italian Escape, Harry Styles Drops Another Bomb

Harry Styles is once again making headlines, but this time, the former One Direction heartthrob isn’t doing it on stage or with a new track drop. Instead, he’s causing a firestorm online after being spotted in Italy—looking relaxed, radiant, and completely unbothered—with a jaw-droppingly gorgeous Belgian designer on his arm.

What makes this twist even juicier? The timing. This new getaway comes just days after Harry’s steamy, now-viral kiss with British It-girl Ella Kenny at Glastonbury Festival. The internet barely had time to digest the fireworks of that passionate moment before a new plotline unfolded right before everyone’s eyes in picturesque southern Europe.

Let’s break it down.

A Kiss That Broke the Internet

Before we get into Italy, we’ve got to rewind to Glastonbury 2025. The legendary UK music festival was already buzzing with surprise performances and star-studded cameos—but Harry Styles stole the show without even touching a mic.

In the middle of an electrifying after-hours celebration, Styles was caught in a sizzling embrace with Ella Kenny, a rising British model and fashion influencer. A fan-recorded clip captured the moment they locked lips—passionately, unapologetically, and in full view of festivalgoers. The clip hit X (formerly Twitter) within minutes and spread like wildfire across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and fan forums.

#HarryElla trended globally for nearly 48 hours. Fan wars erupted. Memes were born. Rumors about a secret romance or PR stunt filled comment sections. But the most telling part? Harry stayed silent.

No statement. No tweet. No cheeky lyric tweet. Just silence.

That silence spoke volumes.

Then Came Italy. And She Wasn’t Ella.

Fast forward three days.

Outlets from TMZ to The Daily Mail suddenly published grainy, paparazzi-snapped images of Harry lounging along the Amalfi Coast. But what fans couldn’t believe was who was by his side: a stunning Belgian designer, believed to be 27-year-old creative director Clara De Wilde—a name that’s been rising fast in the fashion world since her last runway collaboration with Celine.

They weren’t hiding either.

Photos show Harry and Clara walking side by side through cobbled Italian streets, sipping espresso on a sunlit terrace, and even boarding a yacht with a small group of elite fashion insiders. Harry, in his usual disheveled-summer-chic style, sported a bandana and oversized sunglasses. Clara wore a backless black sundress and heels that screamed effortless elegance.

One viral clip shows them laughing over Aperol Spritz as paparazzi flashbulbs explode in the background. No awkwardness. No flinching. Just vibes.

Who Is Clara De Wilde? Why Is She With Harry?

If the name Clara De Wilde doesn’t ring a bell for the average pop culture follower, you’re not alone—but fashion insiders know she’s no lightweight.

De Wilde has worked with luxury brands like Balenciaga, Loewe, and Bottega Veneta, and her aesthetic—modern minimalism with a flair for rebellion—has caught the attention of celebs like Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet. Her label, CLARA/WLD, has been featured in Vogue France and i-D Magazine.

The Belgian designer is known for keeping a low profile. Until now.

So what is Clara doing with Harry? Sources close to both camps are staying tight-lipped. Some say they were introduced through Gucci, thanks to Harry’s long-standing relationship with the brand. Others believe they met months ago at a private Paris Fashion Week dinner, and their “friendship” has been quietly brewing since then.

Still, the images coming out of Italy don’t scream “just friends.”

Fans Are Divided—and Loud About It

Predictably, the fandom is in total chaos. On one side are fans cheering Harry’s “European summer energy,” praising his ability to live freely, romantically, and aesthetically.

But others are not buying the timing—especially so soon after the Ella Kenny kiss.

“So we just gonna ignore the fact that he made out with Ella in front of everyone and now he’s on a yacht with Clara? My brain hurts,” one user commented under a viral TikTok slideshow.

“This isn’t romantic, this is calculated. Harry knows exactly what he’s doing,” another wrote on X.

Several TikTok creators even launched full video essays comparing Harry’s “soft-boy chaos era” to his post-Olivia Wilde timeline, citing emotional whiplash, zero closure, and an obsession with mystery.

But as usual, Harry doesn’t seem to mind the storm he’s created.

Damage Control or A New Romance Arc?

So, is this a PR distraction from the Ella Kenny uproar? A real romantic connection? Or simply Harry being Harry, an unpredictable force who thrives on ambiguity?

According to an anonymous insider (take with a grain of sea salt), “Harry didn’t like how messy Glastonbury got. He’s not big on scenes. Italy was planned anyway—but he knew cameras would catch Clara.”

In other words, maybe he’s playing chess, not checkers.

Music insiders have also hinted at a surprise drop from Harry’s label by the end of the summer. Could these paparazzi images be part of a bigger puzzle? If history tells us anything, Styles loves layering real life with performance art—and nothing fuels a song rollout quite like public speculation.

Meanwhile, Ella Kenny Posts Her Own Clapback

Just when things started cooling down, Ella Kenny entered the chat—without naming names.

The model posted a cryptic carousel of images on Instagram, showing herself walking through a London flower market, sipping iced matcha, and wearing a hoodie that read:
“Not every story needs a hero.”

The caption? Just three emojis: 💋🗑️🌞

Comments instantly flooded with interpretations.

“So she’s throwing HIM away???”

“Nah she knew. That’s her revenge post and it’s savage.”

As of this morning, Ella has unfollowed Harry. Whether that means anything or not, fans are watching.

Closely.

What’s Next for Harry Styles?

If there’s one thing we know, it’s this: Harry Styles doesn’t do normal. He doesn’t release press statements. He doesn’t explain himself. And he definitely doesn’t follow a PR manual.

He lets the images, the vibes, and eventually—the music—do the talking.

While his team stays silent, the public imagination fills in the blanks. Will Clara De Wilde show up in his next music video? Will Ella Kenny speak out directly? Is this all setting up for a fall album drop?

Nobody knows. And that’s the point.

One thing’s for sure—from Glastonbury’s fever-pitch kiss to Italy’s sun-drenched strolls, Harry Styles is back in his main character era, and we’re all just scrolling through it.

Stay tuned. The next twist is probably already in motion.
