Originally stating that there would not be more customization options coming to Shadowlands, Blizzard has since decided to go through with adding more to various races, focusing on Lightforged Draenei and Nightborne, two races with notoriously low options. To go along with those changes, Void Elves will be receiving the ear size options of their Blood Elf counterparts, and additional Druid forms are mentioned, though not what those forms will be.
Night Fae players will also be receiving more Soulshapes, including Crittershapes for use only in rest areas.
Linxy also mentions a focus on Highmountain Tauren in the future.
Greetings everyone 
Our characters in game are a virtual representation of who we are in Azeroth and having more character customization options to design our characters helps us feel closer to them. Shadowlands brought a whole array of new customization options to the player races in World of Warcraft, but there were a few of the Allied Races that didn’t get as much attention as the rest.
Back at BlizzConline in February, we stated that we had no plans to add additional customization options until after Shadowlands, but after hearing the passionate feedback around the issue, we looked into whether we could implement more options sooner. We’re pleased to announce that 9.1.5 will introduce new character customization options for Nightborne and Lightforged Draenei which include: new hair styles, hair colors, facial hair, skin colors, accessories, horns, tail length, tattoos, and more!
In addition to new customization options for Lightforged Draenei and Nightborne, 9.1.5 will also introduce other cosmetics such as:
- Ear Size options for Void Elves
- New Travel Forms for Druids
- New Soulshapes for Night Fae
- New Crittershapes to unlock: Soulshape into an adorable squirrel or other small critters. Note: Due to their tiny appearances, they are only usable in rested areas.
- Option to Soulshape and Crittershape into randomly collected appearances.
- New Toys
We’ll be continuing to expand our character customization in the future, with our sights set on Highmountain Tauren next.
Stay tuned for more information.
