If you're a Skype Insider, this new update should become available on your device in a few days. Stable branch users have to wait a little bit more.
The new Skype app has a very streamlined user interface. It follows the modern trend of flat minimalist design with glyph icons and no borders anywhere. This design is being used in all other Microsoft products. As you may remember, some time ago Microsoft had switched to Electron for Skype.
