Wearing the same trousers he sported for his boys' night out on Wednesday, the singer/songwriter looked a tad disheveled in his green coat and trainers.

Perhaps more noticeably, he also wore a broad smile - which suggested he had a great time while partying at Cirque Le Soir nightclub. 

However, putting his hood up as he made his way passed onlookers, the pop star was clearly feeling a little self-conscious.

Another, who - dressed in the same clothes as the night before -  clearly hadn't pre-planned to stay out all night, tried to use her mobile to obscure her face.

But maybe these five girls were the group he is hoping to sign to his new record label.

Tomlinson confirmed to The Sun's Dan Wootton that he is set to launch his own label with the full backing of Sony and Syco boss Simon Cowell.

His first signing is 2014 X Factor finalist Jack Walton and Louis is currently holding auditions for a girl band, which he will put together during his time off from One Direction duties. 

'It's absolutely great to be working with Syco on a label,' he said. 'This is something I've wanted to do for some time, and to be given the opportunity to potentially give new artists a platform is an incredible feeling.
