Charli XCX Photo Displayed at National Portrait Gallery
The acquisition was funded by the Bukhman Foundation and will display a 2024 Harley Weir image in the gallery’s History Makers Now space.
- The National Portrait Gallery added a 2024 portrait of pop star Charli XCX by British photographer Harley Weir to its collection, now on display in the London gallery's History Makers Now space.

- The photograph shows the singer in a white crop top and black jeans; senior curator Brandei Estes said Weir has "developed a distinctive photographic language that combines intimacy with a powerful sense of presence."
- Coinciding with the release of her eighth album Music, Fashion, Film on Friday, the gallery identified Charli as "one of the defining artists of our time."
- Charli is currently competing for the top spot on the Official Charts Company album chart, and fans will hear new material live when she headlines the Reading & Leeds festival next month.
