Zayn Malik / Balmain

UK singer Zayn Malik dons Balmain inside of his cover for Paper Magazine‘s SEXY issue. Very fitting.

The “Like I Would” singer presents regality in this Balmain look, accented by a subtle blur and rouge background. He was styled by Jason Rembert and photographed by Paola Kudacki.

For the cover look, he wears a leather Enfant Riches Déprimés jacket.

Since leaving One Direction, Zayn has had much success which he refers to in this issue of Paper Mag. He speaks on his transition out of One Direction to where he is now, doing things like having Frank Ocean‘s producer work on your next album and growing a beard (which was previously forbidden as being part of the band).

Thank God, for that exit Zayn Malik.
