Harry Styles Lookalike Contest Draws Large Crowd

A Harry Styles lookalike contest attracted hundreds of fans to Soho Square in London, featuring 13 contestants competing for cash prizes. Organized by journalist Katrina Mirpuri, the event was inspired by similar contests for Timothée Chalamet and Paul Mescal in New York and Dublin. Oscar Journeaux, a 22-year-old singer, won the best lookalike prize, while a man holding a kilo of sugar and a small watermelon was humorously awarded for being the worst lookalike. The contest, which celebrated Styles as a 'London legend,' was judged by notable figures like Ryan Lanji and Bonnie McLaren, and offered prizes such as a £50 cash award and organic wine. Despite some mixed reactions on social media about the quality of the lookalikes, the event was considered a success, fostering a sense of fun and community among participants and fans. However, some fans were initially concerned about the timing of the event due to the recent passing of Styles' fellow bandmate, Liam Payne.
