Harry Styles is obviously known for his music, but the megastar’s fashion sense onstage and offstage is always notable. So it may come as a shock to hear that he left behind hundreds of pairs of shoes when he moved out of his former Los Angeles home.
Set behind private gates above the Sunset Strip, the modern abode features in the premiere episode of Selling Sunset’s sixth season. “St. Ives is one of the most impressive, beautiful homes in the hills,” real estate agent Emma Hernan said in the episode. “It was owned by the biggest pop star in the world, Harry Styles. My client purchased it from him, and I’m lucky enough to have the listing right now.”
Emma shows fellow Oppenheim Group agent Chrishell Stause around the 4-bedroom, 6-bathroom, 4,401-square-f00t home. At the time, it was on the market for just under $8 million. (The home is now listed for $7.245 million.) Chrishell’s first essential question to Emma was: “Did Harry leave anything in the house?”
She responded, “He did, actually. He left a lot, like hundreds, of pairs of shoes…like, heels.”
Unfortunately, Emma said she thinks the shoes are gone now and doesn’t know where they’re located. With that unsatisfyingly settled, the two proceeded to check out Harry’s former bedroom, which has a terrace with views of the downtown L.A. skyline and an en suite bathroom with a steam shower. “Harry probably had some watermelon sugar in this bed right here,” Emma joked as she and Chrishell sat on the bed in the room.
“Probably Olivia’s. I don’t know the timing, but…” Chrishell added, referring to Olivia Wilde, Harry’s ex-girlfriend.
Emma remarked, “Definitely got a little wild in here!”
“Who wouldn’t want to get wild…oh, I see what you did there,” Chrishell said.
We can’t fathom leaving behind a bunch of what were presumably perfectly good shoes, but we hope they found new loving homes. Even though they’re gone, whoever scores this luxe home next is still in for a treat. (Not convinced? Check out photos of the home here.)
