From basic to bold, here is Sam Smith's astonishing style evolution from 2012 to 2023.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/logic-adds-powerful-remix-for-sam-smith-s-pray" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sam Smith</a> 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 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kim-kardashian-host-snl-highlights-funniest-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday Night Live</a>, for example, Smith wore cut-out blue jeans, a bubblegum pink top, and a light pink jacket&mdash;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 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/oscars-2020-how-to-stream" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Academy Award</a> for Best Original Song, and five <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-beauty-looks-from-the-2022-grammys-red-carpet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammys</a> (most recently the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/2023-grammy-awards-winners" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance</a>). 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 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/valentino-spring-summer-2023-haute-couture-show-collection-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valentino</a> show during <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/celine-dion-haute-couture-paris-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Couture Week</a> to promote their new album&nbsp;Gloria,&nbsp;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.
