Harry Styles' doppelgangers descend on London for another lookalike contest - but fans complain they look 'nothing like him'

As a seasoned observer of popular culture, I find myself both amused and intrigued by the antics surrounding these celebrity look-alike contests. The recent Timothee Chalamet contest in New York City, for instance, was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride of emotions.


On Saturday, a look-alike competition featuring many individuals resembling Harry Styles caused quite a stir, as numerous doubles flocked to London for an amusing, side-by-side comparison.

A variety of impressionists gathered at Soho Square for an entertaining competition, where the judges included well-known figures and diehard One Direction enthusiasts, offering cash rewards as incentives.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d suggest embracing the vibrant spirit of a beloved star by donning bold ensembles that echo the extravagance of their iconic wardrobe. However, remember to infuse your unique style and panache to truly make it your own!

On the judging panel were Ryan Lanji, a well-known party organizer who has worked on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, and Bonnie McLaren, the writer of The Book of Harry.

A group of lifestyle and entertainment reporters who openly adore One Direction joined them, and these individuals happened to be present.

Awards varied, with the winner receiving £50 and a choice of hair care items in the ‘Best Hair’ category. The ‘Best Style’ category winner would be rewarded with a half-dozen bottles of organic wine.

As an ardent admirer who just didn’t quite nail the likeness of the style icon, I still walked away from the event with something in hand – a quartet of budget brews.

Each prize was also presented by former Love Island star Eyal Booker, 29. 

Following a tough competition, a victor was declared, but numerous fans of Styles expressed their skepticism on social media about the resemblances they saw.

“They don’t resemble him at all.

Although people on the internet suggested that Mitch resembles Sebastian Stan, he ended up placing second and was met with thunderous applause from the audience.

Meanwhile, Oscar clinched the victory with his unruly curls and sense of style. 

The inspiration for the similar-face contest stemmed from a Timothée Chalamet doppelganger competition that took place in New York City during the weekend, leaving fans in awe as the movie star made an unexpected appearance.

Unfortunately, those who assembled in London didn’t get to share the same exciting moment as Harry was absent during the competition.

Four days prior to the occasion, Katrina Mirpuri expressed her enthusiasm on Instagram by informing followers about an upcoming event: ‘#Harry Styles look-alike competition happening in London this coming Saturday!’

‘1pm, 9th November, Soho Square.’ 

Further information will be shared soon! Prizes are up for grabs in categories like Best Lookalike, Best Hairdo, Best Style, and Worst Lookalike (prizes depicted with trophy and award emojis).

Following the surprise appearance at his doppelganger competition, Timothee ignited chaos amongst the enthusiastic crowd in New York as they screamed their delight.

Surrounded by protective guards, the actor stood alongside individuals who bore a striking resemblance to him – several of these lookalikes even donned costumes reminiscent of his iconic roles, such as Willy Wonka and Paul Atreides from Dune.

Occasionally, enthusiastic admirers mistakenly focused their admiration on individuals who resembled Chalamet, assuming they were meeting the genuine article.

The bustling gathering, promoted through flyers across New York City, was just one of the many look-alike contests organized by YouTube sensation Anthony Po.

News about the competition that offered $50 to the winner quickly circulated on social platforms, attracting thousands of responses.

However, shortly following the start of the competition, even before the actor appeared, authorities asked everyone to leave Washington Square Park in the late afternoon on Sunday.

The organizers faced a fine of $500 due to conducting an unauthorized costume competition, and at least one look-alike was forcibly taken away by police officers as the crowd shouted in protest, “Free him!

Witnesses and competitors told DailyMail.com the scenes that unfolded were ‘insane’.

‘It was really funny, like a spectacle,’ bystander Megan Hattie Stahl, 33, said.

In a different perspective, those capturing the event and those responding to the police officers turned into an additional level of performance. The entire scene seemed utterly preposterous.

People ventured all the way from St. Louis, Missouri, and River Falls, Wisconsin, to take part in the zany contest. The individual who most closely resembled someone famous received a prize of $50.

As a die-hard admirer, let me share that the remarkable Noah Wilde, only 23, declared that the competition we all adored was determined by popular acclaim, with folks vocally cheering for none other than our beloved Chalamet!

He informed DailyMail.com that the crowd was densely populated when the police moved in to attempt dispersing the youths.

He explained that they shoved a child, followed by shouting something along the lines of “Why on earth did you push me?”, and then formed a small group or huddle around him.

‘They ended up getting arrested’.

However, the excitement didn’t end there, as fans were left astounded when the actual performer unexpectedly made an appearance on stage.

Later, the real Timothée Chalamet appeared and offered (the victor) a warm embrace. Wilde exclaimed it was unbelievable.

On an improvised platform, they were inquired about their hypothetical relationship schemes concerning Chalamet’s partner, Kylie Jenner.

As a passionate Francophile, I was challenged to showcase my French skills and share my ideas on how to improve our world.

Ultimately, Miles Mitchell, a Staten Island local and college senior, was chosen as the victor by the audience.

Clad in a vibrant purple costume reminiscent of Willy Wonka, he playfully scattered sweets from a case into the eager hands of many adoring youths.

Mitchell expressed both excitement and feeling overpowered, remarking, “I found it hard to decide because there were just too many great doppelgangers!

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “In an update, I recently learned from the New York Police Department that an individual has been taken into custody due to disruptive behavior. This individual is now out on bail, awaiting their day in court.

Timothée Chalamet has gained significant recognition for embodying the lead roles in critically acclaimed films such as Call Me by Your Name, Dune, and the upcoming Willy Wonka.
