No, Sam Smith's Insanely Inflated Outfit Isn't Photoshopped

You aren’t tripping. This is a real photo of Sam Smith wearing a wildly inflatable suit.

The “Unholy” singer bounced (and probably squeaked) at the 2023 BRIT Awards, stepping on the red carpet in a black latex suit complete with legs and sleeves pumped up to extreme proportions.

In case you’re wondering, Smith’s custom inflatable suit is courtesy of Harri, headed by London athlete-turned-designer Harikrishnan.

The London College of Fashion alum captivated the industry (and much pretty the internet) with his balloon-like trousers floating the catwalk during his grad show.

In other words, Harikrishnan isn’t new to fashion’s inflation-ing– — he’s one of the leaders of it.

From corset looks freeing the nipple to dramatic feather displays, Sam Smith isn’t a stranger to a viral look. The musician undoubtedly wears their ensembles with the utmost confidence, and I can’t knock that (but they still get pretty wild, though).

Though it wasn’t a chaotic look, Smith’s sparkly Valentino jumpsuit — yep, that one — set the internet ablaze and evoked unwarranted comparison’s Harry Styles’ Gucci number.

The ‘fit check at the BRITs arrives just after their buzzy 2023 Grammys look, where the artist pulled all stops in a voluminous red Valentino look — with the entourage to match (literally, they wore red, too).

In addition to their red carpet moment, Smith’s performance of “Unholy” also became the talk of the night, leaving the Christians (and the FCC) in an uproar over “satanic” visuals.

Yep, Smith joins a growing list of celebs under fire with the worshippers of Christ, next to Doja Cat and Demi Lovato.
