5 times Sam Smith went viral for their fashion choices in 2023, from Vivienne Westwood to accept their Cultural Innovator title at the British Fashion Awards, to that latex balloon suit and pigeon bag
- At British Fashion Awards, the singer wore two all-black outfits: a Vivienne Westwood jacket, kilt and high-heeled boots, and a dramatic long gown from the same designer
- Their 16XL sweatshirt and jeans Barbie look and JW Anderson Pigeon clutch caught the eye too, but the balloon-like Pillai latex look for the Brit Awards definitely prompted the biggest reaction
Sam Smith accepted the Cultural Innovator trophy at the British Fashion Awards 2023 earlier this month for creating some of the most viral fashion moments of the year – which the artist did yet again with their outfit choice for the event.
The English singer-songwriter wore not one, but two all-black outfits for the British Fashion Awards 2023 in London on December 4, and fans had mixed reactions.
Smith’s outfits often play with the boundaries of gendered fashion, and occasionally take a bolder and sometimes eclectic route.
From skirts and platform heels, to the viral latex balloon outfit and JW Anderson pigeon clutch, here are five of Smith’s most experimental ensembles in this year alone.
1. The British Fashion Awards – boots and all
The “Unholy” singer wore a tailored jacket with exaggerated sleeves paired with a thigh-skimming kilt, but the show stoppers were Smith’s dramatic platform leather boots.
2. Belle of the ball
To accept their Cultural Innovator award at the Fashion Awards, Smith changed into their second all-black look of the night – another dramatic Vivienne Westwood gown.
