THANKS TO MANISH MALHOTRA, BRITISH SINGER ZAYN MALIK WORE A SHERWANI!

Forget brooding pop star – Zayn Malik is channelling his inner royalty, that too desi-style.

The 31-year-old heartthrob took a detour into desi fashion as he graced the July cover of Harper's Bazaar India in a series of breathtaking sherwanis by none other than Manish Malhotra, a name synonymous with Indian haute couture. This editorial marks a bold departure from Malik's usual style, showcasing a newfound appreciation for traditional Indian attire with a modern twist.

The former One Direction singer sports three distinct looks for the spread, featuring two sherwanis and a tuxedo.

For the first look, Malik dons a sleek noir tuxedo by the designer. The shorter length and self-striped shirt add a contemporary touch, while the Christian Louboutin shoes and intricate onyx and emerald rings elevate the ensemble.

The second look is a stunning embodiment of Mughal opulence. A bottle-green sherwani crafted from plush velvet features intricate Mughal-inspired floral designs embossed within hexagons. The full-length silhouette, paired with a matching silk shirt and trousers, exudes regal elegance. Completing the look are a pair of classic Christian Louboutin shoes and a sophisticated Breitling watch.

The final look showcases a playful twist on the classic sherwani. A navy blue sherwani features a structured silhouette with statement shoulders and a knee-length hem. The highlight of this look is the exquisite hand-embroidered floral lace design in white, adding a touch of whimsy to the traditional attire.

Matching silk shirt and trousers complete the ensemble, with Christian Louboutin shoes and silver rings by Bernand James providing finishing touches.

Zayn Malik's signature short haircut with a spiked crown, complements each look. The clean and fresh makeup, featuring groomed brows, bronzed skin, and full lips, allows the focus to remain on the intricate clothing.

Malik's foray into desi fashion is a visual treat for fans across the globe. The editorial not only celebrates cultural fusion but also proves that a timeless appreciation for beauty transcends geographical boundaries.
