Zayn Malik dons ethnic ensembles by Manish Malhotra

Singer and former One Direction member Zayn Malik sported traditional Indian outfits by the celebrated designer Manish Malhotra for a magazine cover shoot.

His first look featured a black sequined blazer with a black shirt and pants. The stunning jacket boasted silver sequin embellishment and notch lapel collars. Accessorising himself in statement rings and silver earnings, he effortlessly slayed the traditional yet contemporary attire.


For his second look, Zayn donned a green bandhgala velvet jacket featuring floral threadwork. The singer wore it with a matching silk shirt and velvet pants. A stylish watch, Christian Louboutin shoes, and earrings rounded off the look.

Lastly, he is seen doing a navy blue sherwani featuring 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.

Meanwhile, in his interview with Harper's Bazaar, Zayn got candid about his music, life away from the city, and becoming a father.

Talking about his daughter Khai, with ex-Gigi Hadid, Zayn said, “Being a father has only inspired me and made me a better human. My daughter is my whole life and has given me purpose.”

The singer also talked about his style over the years. "I don't care what section my clothes are from as long as they fit right, and I like them! I enjoy expressing myself through clothing. You don't have to stay in one genre or limit yourself to a specific style. You can always switch it based on how you're feeling and express yourself.”

Dhee on staying rooted, making ‘honest music’ and Tamil music’s global rise

Highlights

  • Dhee says Vari Vari emerged from a deeply personal and reflective period in her life
  • The singer believes listeners worldwide are searching for “new sounds and new stories”
  • She says remaining rooted in her identity has always been central to her music
  • Dhee hopes to release more albums and perform more frequently in the years ahead

A song shaped by reflection rather than intention

For Dhee, Vari Vari was not born out of a deliberate attempt to move in a new direction. Instead, it arrived during a period of reflection that naturally began influencing the music she was making. Speaking exclusively, the singer described how many of her recent songs have mirrored experiences unfolding in her own life, making them feel more personal than planned.

That emotional undercurrent eventually found its way into Vari Vari. Conversations with lyricist Vivek (Vivek Anna) slowly shaped the track, which grew from discussions around love and human connection. Rather than following a formula, the song evolved organically and became a reflection of thoughts she had already been carrying.
