Meaning of Harry Styles’ famous peace ring as star wears it in New York

As well as a singer, actor and heartthrob, Harry Styles has become one of the world’s biggest fashion icons.

His quirky and flamboyant dress sense is admired by fans and the 28-year-old certainly isn’t afraid to take a risk with his clothes.

From glitter and feather boas to Gucci suits and Elton John-style sunglasses, Harry loves to change up his look and his outfits are always nothing short of spectacular.

However, there are a few items of clothing and accessories that the singer repeatedly wears, especially when it comes to jewellery.

Harry is often spotted wearing a big Gucci lion head ring, and he sometimes wears one with the word ‘peace’ on it too.

Fans are going wild as he wore the peace ring, which has a very specific meaning amongst his fandom, this week for the first time in months.

Harry Styles wears peace ring in New York

Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that the singer wore the famous peace ring during his 10th gig at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Wednesday (September 7).

The As It Was singer is currently doing 15 nights at the iconic music venue as part of his world tour which started in 2021 and continues into 2023.

He wore the silver ring, which is a simple band with the word ‘peace’ engraved into it in capitals, on his middle finger stacked with a smaller silver ring.

Harry also wore his iconic Gucci lion ring, which he lost at Coachella and was reunited with, and had his nails painted light blue.

The singer paired the jewellery with a bright purple and yellow chevron t-shirt and matching sequinned trousers.

Meaning of the peace ring explained

Fans are going crazy that the musician wore his peace ring as people think it was a gift from his One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson.

It’s not clear whether this is actually true, but he’s been wearing it since around April 2013 and for a long time, would never take it off.

Now, he only wears it on certain occasions and some think it signifies something important or is a message to his fans.

He has only worn the ring twice this year, once on the Today show in May and another exactly one year ago in Denver.

Fans have a conspiracy theory that Harry and Louis actually dated whilst they were in the band, and the ring ties in to that.

Some people joke that it is Harry and Louis’ wedding ring, whilst others say it was the ring Louis proposed to Harry with.

The strange theory began back in the One Direction days when fans noticed their close interactions with each other and their ship name is Larry Stylinson.

Some say he wears the ring on their anniversaries, but it’s nothing more than internet chat and the pair never actually dated.
