National Portrait Gallery Acquires Harley Weir Portrait of Charli XCX

The National Portrait Gallery in London has recently added a portrait of Charli XCX, taken by British photographer Harley Weir. This image is now part of the History Makers gallery, acquired through the museum’s Collecting the Now initiative, which celebrates important contemporary figures. It reflects Charli XCX’s impact on music, fashion, digital culture, and the arts. In the photo, she looks relaxed and confident against an aged cream wall, dressed in a cropped white tee and low-rise black jeans, capturing her current artistic vibe. Funded by charitable organizations, the initiative aims to document modern history. This addition follows Charli's rising global fame, while also marking another milestone for Weir's work in museums. The portrait is expected to attract music lovers and art enthusiasts.
