Zayn Malik unveiled a new look last night, as he made his first public appearance since quitting One Direction.
The singer attended the fifth annual Asian Awards in London last night, where he won the Outstanding Contribution to Music award.
Arriving on the red carpet with his mother Trisha, Malik showed off his newly-shaved head and nose piercing as he posed for pictures with fans outside.
Collecting his award, the 22-year-old, who quit the band during their on-going world tour, paid tribute to his former bandmates.

“I’d like to thank my mum and dad, and I’d also like to take this moment to thank four of the best guys I’ve ever met, everything I’ve done with them will stay with me for the rest of my life,” he said.
Producer Naughty Boy, who has been working with Malik on solo music, was also in attendance.
