Sam Smith, known for their bold fashion choices, appeared in a casual outfit and received mixed reactions.
On July 12th, Sam Smith attended the European premiere of the movie “Barbie” in London, UK. The singer wore an oversized sweatshirt that covered more than half of their thighs and loose-fitting jeans.
The phrase “16XL” written on the chest and the excessively long pants that dragged on the ground caught the attention.
It seems that Sam Smith chose a casual outfit instead of their usual flashy outfits to show support at the promotional event and to let the cast of “Barbie” shine more.
The outfit was not form-fitting or revealing, giving a comfortable feeling even to those who were not familiar with Sam Smith’s fashion. However, for netizens who usually admire their fashion choices, the outfit did not meet their expectations.
Some netizens even criticized Sam Smith’s outfit on social media, calling it too casual for a premiere and stating that it was the worst outfit they had seen, not suitable for the “Barbie” event, and a waste of materials.
A critic also expressed disappointment on Twitter, “It was an opportunity to show everything, but Sam Smith chose this instead.“
On the other hand, the British Daily Mail believes that may have deliberately worn oversized clothes to playfully tease the unrealistic body proportions of the Barbie doll.
Born in 1992, Sam Smith is a British singer who gained popularity with songs like “Lay Me Down,” “Stay With Me,” and “I’m Not The Only One.”
Sam Smith officially declared their refusal to identify their gender as male or female and came out as non-binary in 2019. They also participated in the soundtrack of “Barbie,” which is set to be released domestically on July 19th.
In October, they will embark on the “Gloria the Tour,” visiting Asian countries such as Bangkok, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea.
