Justin Bieber strikingly wrapped a t-shirt around his head when he surfaced in New York City for a lunch outing this week.

The 29-year-old showcased his sculpted arms and prodigious sprawl of tattoos in a clinging white tank top that emphasized his toned torso on Tuesday.

He hoisted on an extravagantly baggy pair of acid-wash jeans and rounded off his characteristically casual ensemble with a pair of Vans Old Skool sneakers.

His latest sighting comes about two months after he canceled all of his 2023 tour dates following a string of postponements.

When he previously delayed the performances in 2021, he revealed that the move was necessitated by his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

The condition has caused Justin to experience facial paralysis, which he went viral for showing his fans on social media.

In February, when he revealed he was scrapping the 70 shows he had scheduled for this year, he shared that he had to ‘take time to rest and get better.’

He revealed on his Insta Stories: ‘After resting and consulting with my doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour. I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me.’

Meanwhile a week ago Justin and his wife Hailey noticeably missed the Met Gala, the glittering annual bash known as ‘fashion’s night out.’

Held in memory of the waspish designer Karl Lagerfeld, this year’s fete marked the first time Hailey skipped the Met Gala in eight years.

Although she has refrained addressing her absence in public, her decision comes after rumors of a feud with her husband’s ex Selena Gomez.

When Justin and Hailey attended the Americana-themed Met Gala together in September 2021, onlookers chanted: ‘Selena!’ at them.

This past October, Selena and Hailey cosying up to one another for the cameras at the Academy Museum gala, suggesting they had buried the hatchet.

He was later seen without his shirt wrapped around his head and instead chose to actually wear it

Snack time: He treated himself to a bag of kettle chips

Shopping spree? He was also seen carrying around a large green shopping bag

By this February however Hailey found herself denying claims that she had taken a swipe at Selena on TikTok, and speculation exploded that the pair were on the outs.

Then last month Selena wrote on social media: ‘Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity.’

She declared: ‘This isn’t what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop.’

Hailey responded in kind, writing on her Insta Stories: ‘I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as her and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I.’
