Benson Boone’s style star status is rising just as quickly as his music on the charts.

The singer-songwriter, 22, had a brief stint on season 19 ofAmerican Idolin 2021but rose to fame thanks to his popular TikTok videos. He released his debut studio album,Fireworks & Rollerblades,in 2024 and that same year, opened forTaylor Swift’sEras Tour in London.

Along the way, his bold style choices have helped make him a bonafide superstar, though he didn’t always take fashion risks. In the early days of his career he kept things more low-key with simple sneakers and t-shirts, but as his fame skyrocketed Boone started to get more playful.

At the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards, the musician appeared in all-white ensemble consisting of a sheer floral shirt and trousers, reminiscent ofHarry Styles' signature, feminine-leaning style. Boone also started going shirtless both on and off stage, often opting for plunging necklines when he does wear shirts.

At the end of the performance, eagle-eyed fans noticed Boone cheekilypulling the crotch of his pantsdown. In an Instagram Stories post later that night, the musician shared a close-up selfie as well as anapology.

“Sorry for adjusting my jumpsuit so aggressively on stage tonight that thing was aggressively restricting in certain areas,” he wrote over the photo. On Tuesday, Feb. 4, he shared a TikTok of himselfwearing the jumpsuitaround his house along with the caption, “I’m not taking it off (it hurts).”

Ahead, take a look back at Boone’s fashion evolution, from his days onAmerican Idolto his headline-making 2025 Grammys outfit.
