Despite a shallow profile, Zayn Malik stepped out in style. The former One Direction singer made a rare public appearance on Friday as he joined a slew of stars at Paris Men’s Fashion Week. He sat in the front row for the Kenzo Menswear show featuring Pharrell Williams and Rita Ora. The ‘Pillow Talk’ singer looked dapper in a navy blue patterned blazer and matching pants. He teamed the look with a white button-down shirt, leaving the top buttons undone to show off his impressive collection of neck tattoos.
Malik’s stylish look caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts and social media users alike. The internet quickly hailed him as the top trend of the day. In addition to his wardrobe, Malik seemed genuinely happy and excited to be out in public. He even posed for pictures and signed autographs for fans, which was a pleasant surprise.

The 31-year-old singer has kept mainly to himself since he departed from One Direction, but in recent months, he’s started to make a few more public appearances. He’s shared new music with producer Naughty Boy and launched an alcohol-free beverage brand. He’s even been working with some of his old 1D bandmates on solo material, but that has yet to be released.
Earlier this month, Malik gave a rare personal post to celebrate the birthday of his 3-year-old daughter Khai. The ‘Pillow Talk hitmaker shared Polaroid-style photos of Khai, who he has with ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid. The images included close-ups of her ‘Frozen’- and Skittles-themed birthday cakes and two pictures of the pair playing together. The ‘Single Ladies’ singer referred to Khai as “the most amazing soul I know” in the caption of the Instagram post.
While the singer has been out in public infrequently, he is working on new music and has a business venture with the non-alcoholic beverage brand Mixoloshe. His last summer single, Love Like This, was his first release in over two years. The former boy band member is now focusing on his family, but he’s sure to resurface with more exciting projects in the future.
