Zayn Malik and Camila Cabello were spotted chatting in the front row at the Off-White Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show of the New York Fashion Week. The moment was caught on video, during which Zayn could be seen whispering something into Cabello's ears, who smiled back at him as the two were continuously clapping. The video has since gone viral online, making many speculate what the two were discussing.
The fashion show took place on September 8, 2024, and played host to a room full of high-profilers, including Malik, Cabello, Paris Jackson, and Jade Thirlwall, among others. When Pop Crave took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video of the two talking, fans began teeming excitedly, many theorizing about a possible collaboration. "WE ARE GETTING THAT ZAYMILA COLLAB," one user said.
Soon after, others started chiming in with their theories regarding what the two were saying.
"Zayn and Camilla would make a perfect couple omg," one user shared.
"Omg…. I hope they make a song together," another chimed in.
"They gossiping abt 1D and 5H," another joked.
Others were more taken aback by Zayn Malik's new look, which included a brown leather jacket, a black turtleneck, trousers, a shaggy beard, and a mop top.
"Looking handsome zayn," one user said.
"Zyan looks so different now. What’s with the beard looking like wolverine," one user chimed in.
"He look smashing hot," one user shared.
On the other hand, Camila wore a sleek black mesh bodysuit that hugged her curves over a skintight black dress and a silver necklace that read "off." She also donned a half-up platinum blonde hairdo. Malik and Cabelo were also spotted chatting with Paris Jackson and DDG, who were seated alongside them.
Zayn Malik dubbed "Zaddy"
In August 2024, Zayn Malik, 31, was seen sporting his new looks online when he sang the acapella version of his track, Shoot At Will. He wore a matching ensemble with cream pants and a button-up shirt. As usual, his heavily tatted arms made an appearance.
Later that month, he did the same when he showed up at the women's Sabalenka vs. Pegula tennis match in September 2024. He donned a lengthy black leather jacket with a dark green shirt underneath, navy blue trousers, and sunglasses. Once again, it was his full beard that caught fans off-guard. "Him like this does something to my thighs," one user said. Yet another dubbed him "My Zaddy."
Zayn Malik has been known to experiment with his looks. He carved his name in the music industry in 2010 with his frosted tips. In 2018, he went full-platinum, and in 2019, he shaved it all off. By 2022, he was seen sporting a look similar to the one now—a beard and longer tresses. However, he has been known to typically keep a clean-shaven look, or at most, a stubble.
