The Weeknd Debuts New Look And Social Media Reacts
Early Tuesday morning (Sept. 10), R&B crooner The Weeknd took to Twitter to debut a new look, and almost immediately joking commenced. The “House of Balloons” singer tweeted two side-by-side photos of himself wearing a navy blue suit with a white shirt, a clean-shaven face sans his signature beard, and a newly styled afro.
The only facial hair left on the Toronto singer was his mustache, and of course, eyebrows, which was debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival.
