14 Times Colombian Sensation Maluma Showed Off His Sexy Style on Instagram
Colombian music sensation Juan Luis Londoño Arias, better known as Maluma, began recording songs at age 16, releasing his debut album, Magia, a year later in 2012. It wasn’t until 2015, however, that he gained the attention of the music industry with his album Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy. Since then, Maluma has skyrocketed to success with multiple albums and plenty of singles, becoming one of the best-selling Latin music artists with over 18 million record sales, winning a Latin Grammy award, and collaborating with legendary artists in the Latin and pop world, inclding Ricky Martin, Madonna, Shakira, J Balvin, The Weeknd, and more. He’s even dabbling in acting, starring alongside Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson in the upcoming movie Marry Me.
Maluma has solidified his stance in the Latin reggaeton boom, a genre of both music and fashion that's taken off in the last few years, collaborating with high fashion brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga and showing he has his own eye for design. Along with anxiously awaiting his upcoming release and decoding Instagram posts about potential pregnancy rumors with his new girlfriend, Maluma’s global fan base closely follow his personal style. From dapper suits to patterned shirts, the star stands out in his bold looks that flaunt his swagger and sex appeal.
