Fashion: Troye Sivan Is The First Male Cover Star Of Homme Girls Magazine
Attention, fashion lovers and LGBTQIA+ icons! Troye Sivan has further pushed the boundaries of gender norms with a compelling photoshoot for HommeGirls Magazine.
The 28-year-old Australian singer-songwriter made history as the publication’s first-ever cover boy, and he did it in the most fabulous way possible, rocking both men’s and women’s wear like the true queer royalty he is.
Troye flaunts his toned physique in a swish custom corset-and-trouser combo. It’s not drag or cross-dressing strictly. More accurately, it’s a style that was explored in the ’80s by pop musicians like Boy George, Pete Burns, Annie Lennox and Grace Jones and referred to as “gender-bending” – intentionally playing against gendered fashion principles for stylistic effect, without necessarily making a statement about gender of sexual identity.
He also served looks in a pink cropped button-up shirt, black heels, and a pair of denim briefs called “bubble jeans” that are, well, a little less than flattering but make a striking image.
For a more sensual vibe, Troye posed shirtless in a black-and-white shot, sporting boxer shorts, lacy stockings, and vintage pumps.
And let’s not forget about the pic where he’s rocking a thong with a fur jacket and jeans – that’s a fashion moment!
But Troye isn’t just serving looks; he’s also serving important messages about self-love and acceptance. In an interview with the magazine, he opened up about exploring different gender presentations and the importance of being patient with oneself.
“I want to lead by example,” Troye said. “Like I said, it’s the same thing when you grant other people the grace of loving their body or knowing they’re beautiful, we provide more patience to others than we do sometimes for ourselves.”
He also expressed pride in himself for being more patient and allowing himself to just be who he is, adding, “It’s sort of funny to me that the accolades have followed.”
Troye’s photoshoot and interview with HommeGirls Magazine are a powerful reminder that fashion has no gender and that everyone deserves to express themselves freely and unapologetically.
