Styles wore the suit last year when he inducted friend Stevie Nicks into the Rock Hall as a solo artist. The pair performed Nicks’ hit “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” which was originally a duet with the late Tom Petty.
In Styles’ induction speech, he called Nicks “the magical gypsy godmother who occupies the in-between. It’s a space that can only be hers. She’s a lot like a rock ‘n’ roll Nina Simone, finding the notes only she can. And by being so unapologetically herself, she gives others permission to do the same, and that is true Stevie.”
