Former One Direction boy-bander Zayn Malik had some issues presenting an award to Louis Vuitton’s men’s artistic director Kim Jones at the swanky amfAR ­Inspiration Gala on Thursday.

“He couldn’t say the word ‘innovative,’ ” says a guest at Skylight at Moynihan Station.

“He fumbled it like four times and then said maybe he’s had one too many drinks.”

Also at the event, which honored Naomi Campbell, were Leonardo DiCaprio, Whoopi Goldberg and Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark.
