The new power couple takes on NY

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid: Lengthy coats and darker palettes

They’ve been literally inseparable since going public with their relationship in November. Former One Direction band member Zayn Malik and Victoria’s Secret model Gigi Hadid continue to validate their ever-growing familiarity as they stepped out for another date night in New York, coordinating in edgy black ensembles.

Gigi Hadid 



Hair and makeup

The catwalk cutie accentuated her distinctive sense of style by pulling her long blonde tresses back into a high ponytail while she flaunted her impeccable complexion with a hint of dewy foundation and peachy blush. Letting her dreamy blue eyes do all the schmoozing, she opted for a slick of reedy black eyeliner and lash lengthening mascara.



Outfit

The 20-year-old model looked every bit of stunning in her formfitting black trousers teamed with a chic long-line fur and leather coat. Demonstrating a knack for class in a Versace top paired with the biker-chic, gold-zippered, leather pants by Balmain, Gigi oozed an exclusive sultry appeal without flashing a hint of skin. The consequence — we were left floored.

Accessories

She added patent leather ankle boots with buckle detail and a trace of glitz with her statement-making gold belt, also by Versace. Amping up her femme flair, the blonde bombshell sported a ladylike gold chain and pendant, which she coupled with a quite-the-opposite rocker leather choker. Who says you can’t appear nonchalant and utterly girly at the same time.

Hair

Previously engaged to Little Mix star Perrie Edwards, Zayn has revamped his look post breakup. Emitting a mischievous vibe, the Befour singer styled his platinum-highlighted locks into a suave hair-raising style that probably required a heavy amalgam of hair products. Donning a neat beard, the talented singer made us want to initiate Zayn-inspired facial-hair trends.

Outfit

The fine-looking Brit kept warm in the chilly NYC temperatures with a zippered black coat layered over a solid white pocketed t-shirt, with the low neckline flashing a glimpse of the ex boybander’s intricate tattoos. Rocking distressed, ripped blue jeans, the Night Changes hitmaker cut an equally relaxed figure, as compared to his pretty partner.

Accessories

The 22-year-old singer and fashion icon decided to stick to his favoured laidback style and fashioned nattily with lace-up chunky boots in an interesting shade of chestnut. Got to confess, Zayn’s typically dishevelled style is becoming all the rage this season with a cluster of male celebs trying to master the teenage sensation’s carefree panache.
