The INSIDER Summary: 

• Zayn Malik just appeared on Instagram with a completely bald head.
• The photo was taken and posted by his mother, Trish Malik and also features girlfriend Gigi Hadid.
• It's unclear whether Malik is wearing a skull cap or if it's the real deal.

Add another member to the Hollywood shaved head club! Former boy bander Zayn Malik, once known for his flowing black (or blonde, depending), locks, appears to have shaved his head completely (gasp!) bald.

One week after the vocalist debuted a short buzz cut over on his own Instagram page, the singer has been snapped without a stitch of hair atop his famous dome. The snap was taken by none other than the “Dusk ‘Til Dawn” singer’s mother, Trish Malik, and also features girlfriend Gigi Hadid.

Hadid, who is half-Palestinian, and her mother Yolanda Hadid, have reportedly been celebrating the Muslim “Sacrifice Feast” of Eid el-Adha with the Maliks. Just yesterday, in fact, the elder of the two famous women posted her own shot of the group (“<3 Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating…”) in which the 24-year-old was sporting a *very* different look.

While some fans are remain skeptical, the ex One Directioner’s head appears now smooth as can be, and TBH, we’re kind of shook. We’re not the only ones: Twitter is also in a tizzy over the drastic change in the young crooner’s appearance.

While it’s possible it’s a skull cap, as several fans have suggested (Gigi DID pull off a pretty great faux pixie prank earlier this year), there doesn’t appear to be much room for one on that hairline, leading us to believe this might actually be the real deal.

Welcome to Zayn 2.0?
