— -- After Zayn Malik shaved off his signature beard, his fans are losing their minds.

The "Pillowtalk" singer showed off his new look on Instagram Thursday. The photo has racked up more than 1.5 million likes and counting.

While some fans mourned the loss of Malik's fuzzy face -- one comment read, "Oh heck to the no!" -- others rejoiced.

Malik, 23, has made several big moves over the past year. The singer left One Direction and released his debut solo album, "Mind of Mine," in March.

There's no word on how his girlfriend, model Gigi Hadid, feels about the new look. She's currently walking the runway during Paris Fashion Week.
