Sam Smith is called an attention seeker for wearing an inflatable latex outfit at the 2023 BRIT Awards on Saturday (local time).
Sam Smith arrived at the 2023 BRIT Awards wearing designer Harri’s couture. He stood out in unique flared trousers and large shoulder pads. Sam Smith completed his monochrome look by wearing black latex gloves and a pair of high heel boots.
Although the outfit shows the efforts of Sam Smith’s styling team, many people call the singer’s outfit choice “weird” and “attention-seeking”. A Twitter user wrote: “As if I couldn’t hate Sam Smith enough he’s wearing this freaky outfit.”
“Honestly, Sam Smith is the most attention-seeking person I’ve ever seen in my life. Really, it’s getting boring now,” another user wrote.
Sam Smith’s eye-catching yet controversial look comes a week after the 30-year-old singer walked the red carpet of the 2023 Grammy Awards with Kim Petras in a bright red Valentino gown, matching gloves, a hood, and a cane. Smith and Petras then took to the stage that night to perform their hit single “Unholy”, but the duo faced backlash for their “devilish” performance.
Netizens have also been criticizing Smith’s outfit in the “I’m Not Here to Make Friends” MV but fans have shown him support. Despite the negative comments, Smith says he’s finally accepted himself and how he looks after a lifelong struggle with body deformity.
“I feel liberated, free of the pressures I felt when I was young,” Sam told the Sunday Times last month. “My mother said, as I got older, I no longer cared about what people think of me. She seems to be right.”
