The Weeknd ditched his red suit and debuted his new look on Sunday, May 24’s Billboard Music Awards 2021. Here’s the meaning behind his After Hours Red suit explored.
The singer who was seen in a red suit for almost the entirety of 2020, appeared in a black overcoat, paired with a white shirt, black pants and a grey tie.
His new look baffled many fans who expected him to still appear in the red suit. The iconic suit along with face bandages had become his signature look last year.
