Louis Tomlinson praised for embracing new look as he makes appearance in viral video
Louis Tomlinson's iconic behaviour at Glastonbury has everybody talking, and fans love his new look
'What Makes You Beautiful' hitmaker Louis Tomlinson has been praised by fans after he debuted a new look in viral Glastonbury footage.
As many of us will know, the ex-One Direction band member was added to the iconic lineup in 2010 alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne during their time on televised talent competition show, The X Factor.
The band went on to achieve unprecedented global success and broke the hearts of girls everywhere when splitting up in 2016.
Despite this, the members have gone on to pursue illustrious solo careers, with Louis garnering critical success with the release of his album Walls in 2020.

Yet, it wasn't his music that has had people talking most recently.
Despite Glastonbury festival booking some of the most successful music acts in the world year after year - it wasn't a headliner that has impressed people the most this year.
It is, in fact, Louis, who is being praised after footage of him setting up a TV screen during the festival last weekend went viral.
His nifty decision followed the announcement from co-organiser of Glastonbury, Emily Eavis, confirming the England match for the 2024 Euros wouldn't be shown.
She said: "We used to have a screen here as no-one had any means of finding out what even the result was because we were so cut off from the outside.
"Now obviously, everyone's connected, and I think you know it's a music festival. I'm sure if people want to see it enough, they can check for results or whatever on their phones.
“But hopefully I'm encouraging people to put their phones away and forget about the outside world.”
It seems this sparked inspiration for Louis, who wheeled his own TV into the hospitality area of the festival in order to show the game.
A huge crowd ensued, which led to him being hailed as the 'best man ever'.
He said: "We brought a TV in - very Glasto, in some stones and a little sand. It was a little bit touch and go at times because the signal kept going in and out, but yeah.
“Luckily we got the win. We pulled it off.”
And it's not only his selfless act that's receiving praise - it's also his brand new look.
Louis was shown to have a head full of grey hair.
A silver fox, indeed.
Fans have piled on the praise for his mature look - a far cry from who he was back in the days of One Direction.
One person wrote: "I think louis tomlinson looks hotter with gray hair."
As another said: "As my hair has been slowly going white at the sides since I was in my late 20s, it’s surprisingly reassuring to see 32-year-old Louis Tomlinson is greying. It’s natural."
While a third chimed: "I was sadly diagnosed with a condition of loving louis tomlinson and his grey hair too much."
Louis took to X to reflect on his time at the festival, writing: "What an amazing 5 days! Thank you @glastonbury for the memories!"
