Leave it to Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman to turn a red carpet into a comedy set. At SNL’s 50th anniversary celebration, she spilled the beans on a hilarious moment involving none other than Harry Styles—and it all started with a British accent gone wrong.
Chloe Fineman’s Harry Styles Impression Gone Wrong
While walking the red carpet at SNL‘s 50th anniversary event, Chloe Fineman had a playful chat with Amelia Dimoldenberg of Chicken Shop Date fame. What started as light banter quickly turned into one of the night’s most viral moments when Fineman revealed she once tried to impersonate Harry Styles—with less-than-stellar results. “My Harry Styles is really bad,” she admitted with a laugh, adding that she once performed the impression right in front of him.
“He Was Devastated”: The Moment It Happened
Fineman described the moment with pure comedic honesty. Harry was sitting at a table when she launched into the impression, and his reaction? Less amused, more… disappointed. “He was so devastated by how bad it was,” she said. To prove just how off the impression was, Fineman gave viewers a quick sample on the red carpet: “Anyway, I’m Harry Styles, anyway,” she said, in a clunky, mock-British accent that instantly got a laugh—for all the wrong reasons.
The Impression That Missed The Mark
Known for her pitch-perfect celebrity impersonations—from Drew Barrymore to Timothée Chalamet—Fineman is a master of mimicry. But even she admits that her Harry Styles just didn’t land. “I love British accents,” she confessed, “but that one was not it.” For someone who thrives on comedic timing, it’s a rare miss—but one she’s more than willing to laugh about.
SNL Memories & A Fallon Redemption
While Fineman didn’t appear in any sketches with Styles during his SNL hosting gig back in November 2019, she did eventually put her Styles impression to use.
On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Fineman appeared as Phoebe Waller-Bridge, FaceTiming with Fallon’s version of Harry Styles. The spoof gave fans a cheeky crossover moment between two iconic accents—and Fineman’s comedic range was on full display.
Fans React To The Cringe & Comedy
Naturally, fans took to social media after the red carpet interview. Most found Fineman’s honesty relatable and hilarious, especially given Harry’s now-iconic voice and mannerisms.
One fan tweeted, “Chloe Fineman saying her Harry impression devastated him has me crying. I love her even more.” Another wrote, “Imagine impersonating Harry Styles to Harry Styles and watching his soul leave his body.”
In a world where celebrity encounters are often too polished or overly rehearsed, Chloe Fineman’s oops moment reminds us why she’s so beloved. She’s funny, self-deprecating, and never afraid to own her flops just as proudly as her wins. As for Harry Styles? We’d like to think he eventually saw the humor in it—and maybe even cracked a smile at her red carpet redemption.
