He even repeated a line from that day, telling the crowd, \u201cI work in a bakery,\u201d a nod to the part-time job he held in his Cheshire hometown of Holmes Chapel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe audition outfit was a mid-show swap. Styles opened the night dressed as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/elvis-presley\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Elvis Presley<\/a>, while his band and dancers came as different versions of Styles from across his career. The Elvis nod tracks: the first song Styles ever recorded was a cover of Presley\u2019s \u201cThe Girl of My Best Friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tExplore\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-tagline  a-font-secondary-fancy-xxxs@desktop-xl a-font-secondary-fancy-s@desktop-xl-max lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-black u-padding-t-13 lrv-u-padding-b-2 lrv-u-margin-tb-00 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-border-color-black lrv-u-width-100p\">See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOn the audition itself, \u201cIsn\u2019t She Lovely\u201d wasn\u2019t Styles\u2019 first pick. Footage released by the show in 2022 revealed he opened with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/train\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Train<\/a>\u2019s \u201cHey, Soul Sister,\u201d and only sang the Wonder song a cappella after Simon Cowell asked to hear him without a backing track. He was later placed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/one-direction\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One Direction<\/a> alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/niall-horan\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Niall Horan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/louis-tomlinson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Louis Tomlinson<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/zayn\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zayn Malik<\/a> and the late <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/liam-payne\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liam Payne<\/a>.

At the first edition, at MSG in 2021, Styles dressed as Dorothy to sing \u201cOver the Rainbow,\u201d then came out as a clown the next night to cover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/britney-spears\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Britney Spears<\/a>\u2019 \u201cToxic.\u201d In 2022, at Los Angeles\u2019 Kia Forum, he dressed as Grease\u2019s Danny Zuko for \u201cHopelessly Devoted to You.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe residency wraps Saturday (Oct. 31) with a final Harryween show.
