NEW YORK CITY: Zayn Malik made a jaw-dropping entrance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', leaving fans awestruck with his striking new look.

The 'Dusk Till Dawn' singer ditched his previous rugged style for a polished new look—his once long locks and beard are now replaced by a sleek, clean-shaven face and a stylish new hairstyle.

This unexpected appearance marked the second time Malik had taken over Fallon’s monologue in just six months. As Fallon humorously set up the show, Malik emerged from behind the curtains with a coffee and a memo, delighting the audience and leaving Fallon both amused and bewildered.
