This event celebrating the former One Direction member follows similar competitions in New York and Dublin, which involved Timothee Chalamet and Paul Mescal lookalikes. The winner of the best lookalike prize went to Oscar Journeaux, a 22-year-old singer and guitar player in west London rock band Parla. While last month’s New York event featured a surprise appearance by the real-life Chalamet, Styles did not appear at the London event on Saturday.
