In a sign of the times, Harry Styles doesn’t feel the need to let fans know everything about him.

The “As It Was” and “Sign of the Times” singer, 28, is responding to the world’s ardent — and, in his words, “outdated” — speculation about his sexuality, while promoting his “most intimate” album, “Harry’s House,” next month.

“I’ve been really open with it with my friends, but that’s my personal experience; it’s mine,” Styles told Better Homes and Gardens in the magazine’s June cover story, out Tuesday. “The whole point of where we should be heading, which is toward accepting everybody and being more open, is that it doesn’t matter, and it’s about not having to label everything, not having to clarify what boxes you’re checking.”

Not only has Styles’ sexuality been much talked about and dissected by onlookers, but so has his relationship status — since well before the One Direction alum embarked on a solo career.

Styles has long been believed to be the subject of several songs by Taylor Swift, including the aptly titled, “Style.” The two shared a brief romance from late 2012 to early the following year.

Starting in late 2020, the “Dunkirk” actor was reported to be dating Olivia Wilde, who directed him in her upcoming film, “Don’t Worry Darling.” The singer was also reportedly the reason behind Wilde’s split from “Ted Lasso” star Jason Sudeikis, to whom she’d been engaged for 7 years. The former couple shares two children.

Helen Mirren is celebrating the beauty of humanity.

The Oscar-winning actress was selected for the cover of People’s annual “Beautiful Issue,” the magazine announced Wednesday.

“There are incredibly beautiful people in the world, and it’s an absolute delight to look at them, male or female. Beautiful people are a wonder to behold,” Mirren, 76, told People.

“But most of us are not beautiful. We have other stuff, which is just as powerful as beauty. And I would like to see us celebrate those things. … I love the word swagger because I think swagger means I’m confident in myself, I’m presenting myself to the world, I’m enjoying the world around me,” she continued.

“I think what is called the beauty industry should be called the swagger industry. We’re giving people swagger.”

People debuted its “Beautiful Issue” in 1990. Recent stars to be featured on the annual edition include Chrissy Teigen last year, and Kate Hudson with her then-1-year-old daughter, Rani, and mother, Goldie Hawn, in 2019.

Julia Roberts has appeared on the cover five times, making her the only star to be featured more than twice.

The London-born Mirren is a four-time Oscar nominee who won best actress at the 2007 Academy Awards for the royal drama “The Queen.”
