A close up pic of Zayn’s metal arms commissioned by Versace at the 2016 Met Gala. Zayn’s metal arms is one of the highlights and talked about subjects of that year’s gala with positive mentions from the media and general public alike (he even made the cover of The New York Post the following day). And let’s not forget that Zayn designed these arms himself! Per Zayn:
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect,” says Malik. “I know it’s a big deal in the fashion industry. Anna Wintour obviously runs the whole thing so it was an honour to even get to go. I was asked to design my own costume by Donatella Versace!” He lets out a laugh. “It was cool. I had seen a few people hitting me online, saying negative things about it. But I enjoyed it because they were saying I looked like a dude from Mortal Kombat, and it was actually based on a character (from the video game series), called Jax. He had metal arms, and the theme was technology, so I just took it from him… It’s a bit easy to just dress up in a suit. I like to do things that are a bit outside of that.”
