Post Malone's distinctive look is a little different these days as he took to Instagram to show off his incredible transformation - and how he achieved it might surprise you.
The Chemical singer, real name Austin Post, took to Instagram on Tuesday (29 August) to share a mirror selfie in an all-black, smart but off-beat enough to be on-brand outfit.
He captioned the post: "Introducing Viceroy Chungus VonBattlepass, i love you 🍻💕," and his 24M followers/fans went wild with 2.5M hitting the 'like' button in response.

Has he hit the gym? Cut out carbs? Got an Ozempic 'scrip? None of the above. In fact, the singer shared his secret back in April of this year and it's wonderfully wholesome.
After speculation about drugs being behind his changing body, the Grammy-winning artist was forced to speak out to his fans in spring and tell them he’s been prioritizing his health since the birth of his daughter in May 2022.
The 28-year-old musician took to the 'gram to address fans' concerns saying: "I guess dad life kicked in and I decided to kick soda and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel.
"Next up is smokes and brews, but I like to consider myself a patient man… lol!"
Who knew cutting out soda could look this good?
While recording the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in August, Malone shared that he's dropped to 185lbs from a starting weight of 240 - and he puts his 55lb loss it all down to cutting out those bubbles.
"Soda's so bad. It’s so bad, but it's so good," he said of his vice to 56-year-old Rogan.
But, despite his huge progress it seems he still allows himself the occasional fizzy treat: "[If] I had a great show, and you know what, I’m feeling a little bit naughty, I’m going to have myself a Coke on ice."
Fans went predictably wild in the comments section of his new-look post.
One quipped: "Is he single? Asking for me."
Another said: "Why am I as a grown man fully in love with this man?"
Some claimed they didn't recognise the Sunflower singer: "Oh my gosh I didn't recognize you wow what a change," and "I didn't even realize it was him!!"
