Harry Styles dresses as his 16-year-old X Factor audition self for a Halloween show at New York's Madison Square Garden

Harry Styles performed the same Stevie Wonder song at Harryween that won him a place in One Direction at 16, telling the Madison Square Garden crowd "I work in a bakery" — repeating his original audition line to judges.

Harry Styles, 32, wore the same grey cardigan, yellow scarf, brown khakis and X Factor audition number he had on at age 16 when he sang for the music executive in 2010, reprising the exact song — Stevie Wonder's 'Isn't She Lovely' — that got him through. It was the 29th night of his 30-show 'Together, Together' residency, billed as 'Harryween', closing out a months-long run at the New York venue.

He opened the night as Elvis Presley in a white sequinned jumpsuit and blue cape — watched by Elvis's granddaughter Riley Keough from the crowd.

Styles told the audience 'I work in a bakery', recreating the line he gave X Factor judges about his part-time teenage job in Holmes Chapel.

Fiancée Zoe Kravitz, 37, danced in a red devil costume in the front row as Styles threw winks at her mid-performance.
