Harry Styles' fans are continuing to support the singer after the conservative commentator Candace Owens stood behind her criticism of the way he dressed.

On Wednesday, Styles posted an image from his new photo shoot for Variety as part of his cover story for the publication's 2020 Hitmakers issue.

In the photo, taken by Parker Woods, the 26-year-old "Fine Line" singer was seen biting into a banana while wearing a custom-made blue suit with frills from Palomo Spain.

Styles captioned his post: "Bring back manly men."

The caption evoked Owens' recent criticism of Styles for posing in a blue gown by Gucci for the December 2020 issue of Vogue.

Following the issue's release in mid-November, Owens called the cover "an outright attack."

"Bring back manly men," she added.

Speaking with Variety, Styles stood behind his gender-fluid fashion sense, saying, "To not wear [something] because it's females' clothing, you shut out a whole world of great clothes."

"And I think what's exciting about right now is you can wear what you like," he continued. "It doesn't have to be X or Y. Those lines are becoming more and more blurred."

Styles' Variety cover story and Instagram post marked the first time he spoke about Owens' comments — and his fans praised him for his clever response

Owens doubled down on her 'manly men' comments and said she sparked 'global conversation'

"When people try to tell me I don't have influence, and then @Harry_Styles dedicates an entire post to my tweet. I inspire global conversation. #BringBackManlyMen Shots fired," Owens tweeted, adding a screenshot of Styles' Instagram post.

She further commented on the singer's latest look in several videos on her Instagram story. While she said that she was "digging it" and that it's preferable to his last one as it "doesn't look feminine," she also said "he looks stupid."

Styles' fans went on to call out Owens for repeatedly defending her stance
