Sam Smith's Style Evolution
From basic to bold, here is Sam Smith's astonishing style evolution from 2012 to 2023.
Sam Smith has really come into their own when it comes to their fashion choices. When Smith first began their career in 2012 with their feature on Disclosure's single "Latch," there was a sense of hesitancy in expressing themselves through clothing. They leaned more toward basics and didn't experiment much with color or texture. Now, the English singer-songwriter has grown into themselves and has become much more confident. During their latest appearance on Saturday Night Live, for example, Smith wore cut-out blue jeans, a bubblegum pink top, and a light pink jacket—an outfit they probably would've never worn several years ago. At the 2023 Grammys, Smith arrived in an avant garde red cape with a matching top hat and cane.
Smith has won several awards since the beginning of their career, including a Brit Critics' Choice Award, an Academy Award for Best Original Song, and five Grammys (most recently the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance). Not only has Smith paved their way through the music industry, but they have also solidified their personal style. Most recently, Smith made an appearance at the Valentino show during Paris Couture Week to promote their new album Gloria, which was released on January 27. Let's take a look at Smith's amazing evolution from being young and tentative to being assured and provocative.
