When Harald was just 14 years old, his mother died under tragic circumstances. The official version claimed she fell down the stairs. However, Harald believes his father was responsible.
From a young age, Harald was drawn to fashion and art. In 1987, he opened his first clothing store with a business partner.
He immediately began creating extravagant outfits — adorned with gold, rhinestones, crowns, and sequins. His signature style is pure glamour, with no room for boredom.
He founded the POMPÖÖS brand, which became the embodiment of his philosophy: every woman deserves to feel like a princess.
Today, he’s often called the most handsome man in Germany, with a seemingly perfect appearance — but here’s what he looked like before.
His designs later made their way onto TV shopping networks and fashion runways, and he himself became a recognizable figure on television.
Over time, Harald began transforming his appearance through cosmetic procedures and plastic surgery.
He speaks openly about Botox, facelifts, implants, and other treatments that helped him achieve his doll-like, theatrical look.
He has altered the shape of his nose, lips, and cheekbones, undergone multiple facelifts, and even had hair and eyelash extensions. He’s often compared to a living porcelain doll — a comparison he welcomes.
“I recreated myself. I wasn’t born magical — I made myself that way,” says Glööckler.
Early photos of Harald are surprising: a regular young man with short hair and a natural face — a far cry from the glamorous persona we see today.
In the 1990s, he began wearing more flamboyant outfits and makeup, and soon his transformation became radical.
