Ahead of a big cover story on Variety (which we'll dig into later), Styles shared on his social media a photo from the story's accompanying photoshoot that sees him rocking a skirted pantsuit and puffy shirt, all while suggestively cradling a banana between his lips.
"Since I'm trending I'd like to clarify what I meant when I said 'bring back manly men, '" she tweeted.
In case you missed it, singer-songwriter Harry Styles made history last month as the first solo male celebrity to grace the cover of Vogue Magazine while wearing an internet-breaking Gucci gown.
Styles has had a brilliant few weeks, earning himself his first three GRAMMY nominations for "Best Music Video", "Best Pop Solo Performance" and "Best Pop Vocal Album".
"There is no society that can survive without strong men", tweeted Owens.
Harry has since got his own back, by captioning his newest Instagram picture "bring back manly men", a quote by Candace herself.
"Bring back manly men", he cheekily captioned the pic, referencing commentator Candace Owens' complaints about his sartorial choices.
Styles also discussed his sense of style in his Variety interview, telling the magazine, "To not wear [something] because it's females' clothing, you shut out a whole world of great clothes". "The East knows this. He kind of just looks like he's in a different century and I think it looks good".
Responding to Styles' shade at her tweet on him, Owens tweeted back, "When people try to tell me I don't have influence, and then @Harry_Styles dedicates an entire post to my tweet. It doesn't have to be X or Y", Styles commented.
Following the issue's release in mid-November, Owens called the cover " an outright attack".
