The global music phenomenon has us all swooning as he graces the digital cover of Harper’s Bazaar India, decked out in breathtaking Manish Malhotra ensembles. Forget the usual, Zayn’s latest photo shoot is a masterclass in how to blend traditional Indian elegance with modern flair, and we are here for it!
First on the runway is Zayn Malik in a navy blue chenille sherwani with statement shoulders and a knee-length hem. This isn’t your average sherwani; it’s a masterpiece adorned with intricate, hand-embroidered ivory floral designs, adding the perfect contrast. The baroque-inspired floral lace detailing adds a touch of whimsy to the structured silhouette, making this look sophisticated yet fun.
To accentuate the look, Zayn pairs it with a matching navy Chinese collared silk shirt, similar-hued trousers, and Manish Malhotra High Jewellery collar pins encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds. Talk about regal! Complete with silver rings by Bernard James and those slick Louboutin shoes, Zayn makes traditional look anything but boring.

But wait, there’s more. Zayn channels his inner Mughal royalty in a lush emerald green bandhgala sherwani made of vintage chenille. This sherwani is a canvas of intricate floral designs, inspired by the Mughal era, embossed within hexagons, exuding pure opulence.
The floral details with satin stitch embroidery look so exquisite that you might need a magnifying glass to appreciate the craftsmanship truly. Paired with matching silk trousers and patent leather Christian Louboutin shoes with their signature red soles along with a Breitling analogue watch with a silver dial and leather strap, Zayn looks every bit the king.

The 31-year-old- British heartthrob exemplifies sartorial brilliance in Manish Malhotra’s noir tuxedo, intricately embellished with a gradient of Swarovski adornments, epitomising avant-garde sophistication for Harper’s Bazaar India editorial. He paired the black bandhgala with a self-striped buttoned-up shirt, matching black trousers, socks and iconic tie-up shoes by Christian Louboutin.
