The National Portrait Gallery has acquired a portrait of Charli XCX, officially recognizing her as one of the defining cultural figures of her generation. Per The Guardian, the photograph by Harley Weir was shot in twenty twenty-three and became central to her twenty twenty-four album 'Brat'—a pop phenomenon defined by its candor and creative irreverence. The acquisition comes as she seeks a number one chart position for her latest album, 'Music, Fashion, Film.'
