Zayn Malik, renowned for his contribution to one of the most iconic pop bands of the last 25 years, has consistently kept a low profile when it comes to public appearances.
The scarcity of such sightings was exemplified by the fact that the last time he was captured in public by Getty Images was in April 2021, during a casual visit to a food cart in New York City with his then-girlfriend Gigi Hadid.
Following his separation from Gigi, Zayn chose a more private lifestyle, occasionally resurfacing, as seen in his appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast last year, where he delved into the details of the breakup and dispelled rumors surrounding it. Gigi, too, stood by him and expressed support following the interview.
A Rare Moment, an Unfortunate Mishap, and a Humorous Instagram Reassurance
Breaking from his trend of limited public appearances, Zayn decided to embrace the spotlight once again, gracing the audience with his presence at the Kenzo Menswear Fall/Winter 2024–2025 show during the glamorous Paris Fashion Week.
This marked a rare occasion where fans could catch a glimpse of the pop sensation in the public eye.
Yet, the event took an unexpected turn when reports surfaced that a car had accidentally run over Zayn’s foot amidst the chaotic photo scrum at the venue.
Despite the seemingly unfortunate incident, Zayn promptly took to Instagram to reassure his concerned fans.
In a post that accompanied a snapshot of his white sneakers displaying noticeable scuffs, he humorously wrote, “Thanks for a great show! My foot is fine!!” Playfully attributing the well-being of his foot to the quality of his shoes, Zayn managed to infuse lightness into the situation.
