Popsugar Celebrity Louis Tomlinson Best One Direction Pictures Celebrate 10 Years of One Direction With 99 of Their Best Photos Ever 23 July 2020 by Hedy Phillips Image Source: Getty / Steve Granitz Can you believe it's been 10 years since our favourite boy band was formed? It's true! On July 23, 2010, history was made when One Direction was created on The X Factor, and Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik have been wreaking havoc on our lives ever since. The band may have gone on hiatus in 2015, but for those of us diehard fans, their music is still on repeat on our Spotify playlists, except now it's blended in with all their solo projects as well. We wanted to take a moment to get all up in our emotions and look back at One Direction's golden years of performances, red carpets, and goofing around — all the little moments that made us fall in love. Join us on this journey; we've got a whole lot of history to cover. 1 One Direction at the Very.co.uk Christmas Catwalk Show in 2010 Image Source: Getty / JAB Promotions 1 / 99 2 One Direction at the Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Premiere in 2010 Image Source: Getty / Gareth Cattermole 2 / 99 3 One Direction at the X Factor Photocall in 2010 Image Source: Getty / Ian Gavan 3 / 99 4 One Direction at an X Factor Appearance in 2010 Image Source: Getty / Tony Woolliscroft 4 / 99 5 One Direction at Fountain Studios in London in 2010 Image Source: Getty / Danny Martindale 5 / 99 6 One Direction at Have a Heart Appeal Day in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Danny Martindale 6 / 99 7 One Direction at a Book Signing in Manchester, England, in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Shirlaine Forrest 7 / 99 8 One Direction at the JLS Eyes Wide Open Premiere in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Jon Furniss 8 / 99 9 One Direction at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Mike Marsland 9 / 99 10 One Direction Signing CDs at HMV in London in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Fred Duval 10 / 99 11 One Direction Celebrating the Release of "What Makes You Beautiful" in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Dave Hogan 11 / 99 12 One Direction Promoting "What Makes You Beautiful" in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Dave Hogan 12 / 99 13 One Direction at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Dave Hogan 13 / 99 14 One Direction at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Dave Hogan 14 / 99 15 One Direction at the Launch of Nokia Handsets in London in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Jon Furniss 15 / 99 16 One Direction Celebrating Black Friday Deals in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Jon Furniss 16 / 99 17 One Direction Performing in London in 2011 Image Source: Getty / Brian Rasic 17 / 99 18 One Direction Performing in London in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Chiaki Nozu 18 / 99 19 One Direction at a Photocall in Paris in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Marc Piasecki 19 / 99 20 One Direction at the Brit Awards in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Dave Hogan 20 / 99 21 One Direction Performing on Today in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Neilson Barnard 21 / 99 22 One Direction at the Nickelodeon Upfronts in New York in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Larry Busacca 22 / 99 23 One Direction at the Elvis Duran Show in New York in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Paul Zimmerman 23 / 99 24 Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and Harry Styles at SiriusXM in New York in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Astrid Stawiarz 24 / 99 25 One Direction at a CD Signing in New Jersey in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Bill McCay 25 / 99 26 One Direction at Q102 Radio Station in Pennsylvania in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Bill McCay 26 / 99 27 One Direction at ET Canada in 2012 Image Source: Getty / George Pimentel 27 / 99 28 One Direction at a VEVO Go Show in LA in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Jesse Grant 28 / 99 29 Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson at ANZAC Test Match in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Hannah Peters 29 / 99 30 One Direction Performing in Wellington, New Zealand, in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Hagen Hopkins 30 / 99 31 Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne at the Men in Black 3 Premiere in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Stephen Lovekin 31 / 99 32 Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan at Six Flags Magic Mountain in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Mathew Imaging 32 / 99 33 Liam Payne and Niall Horan Performing at Westfield's Shepherds Bush in 2012 Image Source: Getty / Ben A.
