Sam Smith just hit the Meo Kalorama Music Festival like a fabulous whirlwind of vocal prowess and fashion drama. On Thursday night (August 29), Lisbon, Portugal witnessed a spectacle that could only be described as “Sam Smith but make it couture.”
The 32-year-old superstar (and owner of a voice so powerful it could probably sing you into next Tuesday) belted out a career-spanning setlist, featuring all the hits. From the heart-wrenching “Stay With Me” to the slightly sassier “I’m Not Here to Make Friends,” Sam had the crowd weeping, dancing, and possibly questioning their life choices—all in one night.
But let’s not forget the real star of the show: the wardrobe. Oh yes, Sam took fashion to a whole new galaxy. Picture this: a rainbow-hued, supersized gown so big it could double as a small circus tent (or a very dramatic picnic blanket). And then, because why not, they rocked a black corset that said, “Yes, I can sing your soul out of your body, and look fierce while doing it.”
Sam’s wardrobe choices aren’t just daring—they’re downright fearless. It’s like their closet has a PhD in “Fabulousness” and a minor in “Causing Your Jaw to Drop.” Once again, Sam brought the drama, and we are living for it.
