Last month, Styles graced the cover of Vogue in a dress. The photoshoot eventually earned both praise from fans and criticism from commentators who believe the One Direction member shouldn’t wear feminine clothes. Then, earlier this week, Styles indirectly responded to the criticism he received in the best way possible.
Since the Vogue photos were released, Styles has received support from various individuals in the entertainment industry including Jameela Jamil, Zach Braff and Olivia Wilde. On Thursday, he also earned support from Noah Cyrus on her Instagram story.
However, Cyrus used a derogatory term in her post defending Harry Styles which quickly received backlash online. Nearly 24 hours after the Instagram story went live, “Noah Cyrus” began trending on Twitter on Thursday.

“I am mortified that I used a term without knowing the context and history, but I know now and I am horrified and truly sorry,” she says. “I will never use it again. Thank you for educating me. I in no way meant to offend anyone, I am so sorry.”
noah cyrus saying she didn’t know the “history” of the word is such a perfect example of non-black ppl freely messing around with black things with no repercussions until they finally trip up and now get a chance to play the “i’m learning❤️ pls educate me❤️” card pic.twitter.com/GvM37J5qie
