The singer recently returned to social media to show off his freshly shaven, clean-cut look.

The last time we saw the Brit on Instagram was on January 14.

He was rocking a full beard with messy, rugged hair.

Many of his fans were taken aback by Z’s new look, because we really haven’t seen him look this way since the early days of One Direction.

Zayn was in the boy-band from 2010 to 2015. He was the first member to leave the group indefinitely.

One fan wrote, “excuse me what?” and another replied, “Giving 2014 vibes.”

Someone else commented, “This is Zayn from 2013. THIS IS FRAT BOY ZAYN AND I DON'T ACCEPT ANY OTHER OPINION ABOUT IT.”

New year, new Zayn. He’s single and ready to mingle.
