Harry Styles was spotted out for a stroll in New York on Saturday, hours after his ex-bandmate Zayn Malik released his new single.
The singer, 30, cut a relaxed figure as he made the most of the spring sunshine while out with a friend.
Harry – who is now worth an estimated $190 million – is known for wearing a slightly more flamboyant wardrobe for the stage, but apparently thought it best to save it for his next appearance.
The style icon, who hasn’t posted on his social media for four months, appears to be taking some downtime after his two-year run of Love On Tour shows ended last year.
The As It Was hitmaker played an incredible 169 dates in 23 months, grossing over £620 million and attracting over 5 million fans.

And it seems the hard work certainly paid off as Harry was placed fourth behind major artists including Elton John, Ed Sheeran and Irish rockers U2 who all made the top three of the Billboard Boxscore Chart of the 10 best tours of all time.
The news comes after Harry’s former bandmate Zayn Malik made a rare trip to New York City on Wednesday to announce his upcoming album and latest single.
The Bradford-born star showed off his head tattoo as he turned up The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where he talked about his new music, titled Room Under The Stairs – the first in three years.
During Jimmy’s opening remarks, Zayn walked across the set and silently placed a note and a mug of coffee in the host’s hand.
He then hit play on a laptop and teased a snippet of his new track What I Am before waving to the audience and walking away.
The note read: ‘Jimmy, look to your right for my album. My new single What I Am is out on Friday from my upcoming album Room Under The Stairs, available May 17th. Hope you’ll check it out.’
‘I will. Zayn everyone!’ Jimmy announced.
The singer’s first single, titled ‘What I Am’, was released on Friday, March 15, and the album arrives two days later.

Talking to Rolling stones, Zayn said: ‘I’m making a record that I don’t think people will really expect. It’s a different sound to me.
‘And there’s some more storytelling going on, like real-life experiences and stuff. My daughter is mentioned in there a few times.’
Harry has kept a very low profile, but became an uncle after his sister Gemma Styles welcomed her first child in February after a secret pregnancy.
The author and podcaster made the shock announcement on her Instagram, where she shared a snap of herself and partner Michal Miynowski with their daughter.
Next to the post, she wrote: ‘Hello from maternity! Took some time off to ensure the safe arrival of our baby girl who is adored by her whole family.
‘I know this news can be difficult for many people and I am sending you lots of love.’
Despite Harry dating his latest girlfriend Taylor Russell, 29, for less than a year, he is thought to be ‘ready to start a family’ with the Canadian actress.
A source said: ‘Harry feels like he’s already lived ten lives, but one thing’s for sure – his 30s won’t be like his 20s.
‘He has experienced all the fame anyone could ever want. He is now ready for the next chapter.
‘He’s in love with Taylor. He wants a family with her and this is the next phase of his life.’
While Harry will no doubt continue making music and is expected to “further explore his acting options,” insiders are warning fans not to expect new projects in the near future.
The source added: “Harry no longer has to prove himself and is finally going to take some time to reap the rewards of his success.”
