The Impossible singer makes rare public appearance with what seems like a full face of make-up

JAMES Arthur was pictured yesterday looking rather different from his usual unhappy self.
The X Factor winner appeared on the World Music Awards Red Carpet in Monaco with hints of a smile across his face.

But it wasn't his facial expressions that proved to be most shocking.
The 26-year-old sported a new black sweeping hairdo, with what seemed like a splash of mascara and a sharply cut stubble.
He paired his new makeover with a grey blazer, black tee and rolled up skinny jeans.

Before the awards, James proudly tweeted: "Tonight's the night! So looking forward to performing at the World Music Awards. Hope you all tune in! #votejamesarthurWMAs."
"Last night was really cool. What an honour to perform just after Mariah Carey at the world music awards!! Crazy s***t man!!" the star added.

James Arthur has hopefully proved his childish foul-mouthed ways are behind him [Wenn]

The controversial X Factor winner hasn't always been best behaved, with his foul-mouthed remarks becoming the centre of attention on social media.
However, the dark hair and dash of make-up could be the start of something new.
We hope your new look matches your supposedly tamed behaviour, James.
