Zayn Malik caused a stir among fans with his latest Instagram post, revealing a dramatic new hairstyle. On Friday, the former One Direction member shared an acapella video of his song “Shoot At Will,” but it was his new look that captured the most attention.
In the video, Malik, 31, showcased significantly longer hair, a departure from his usual short style. His new look also featured a full beard, contrasting with his previously minimal stubble. Fans quickly took to the comments, expressing their amazement. One fan wrote, “Give me the haircare routine cause how tf your hair grows that fast.” Another exclaimed, “Damn the beard,” while a third expressed admiration for his overall appearance, saying, “His voice, his hair, his beard, his eyes, his tattoos, I just adore him.”
The singer wore cream pants and a matching long-sleeve button-up shirt with rolled sleeves in the video, which highlighted his heavily tattooed arms. Malik performed in front of a large boxing painting, focusing on his song from his 2024 album, “Room Under the Stairs,” while looking away from the camera.
Malik has been relatively low-profile on social media and Hollywood events before his album release. However, he made a notable public appearance at Paris Fashion Week in January, attending the Kenzo runway show. There, he was spotted with notable figures like Pharrell Williams, former Christian Dior CEO Sidney Toledano, and singer Rita Ora.
During the event, Malik wore a sharp navy blue patterned tweed suit with a white undershirt, which he left slightly unbuttoned to reveal his tattooed torso and neck. He also attended Loewe’s Men’s Fall/Winter 2024 show and the Valentino Menswear Fall/Winter 2024-2025 later in the week.
