Since then, however, Sam’s style has completely changed – marked by their bizarre latex ensemble worn at the Brit Awards in February 2023. Let’s take a look at some of their boldest – and perhaps most regrettable – fashion choices over the years.
Sam’s black rubber suit featured huge puffed arms and legs, giving the impression the Money On My Mind hitmaker was encased in a giant dark balloon.
The inflatable jumpsuit was custom-made for the musician by designer Harri.
Harri told the BBC at the time that Sam reached out just five days before the red carpet to ask if he could create the costume, which was only finished an hour before the red carpet began.

The “punk-inspired” look was comprised of what looked like a multicoloured tartan loincloth and matching heeled boots, plus bright red knee-high socks that left Sam’s thighs bare, a long-sleeved beige jumper and a tartan cloak across their shoulders.
The strangest part of the whole ensemble might have been the gnarled walking stick Sam was handed, giving them a look of Gandalf as they strutted their stuff down the runway.

While I personally think Sam looked amazing at the 2026 Met Gala, their 52-pound gown seemed a step too far when you consider the practicalities.
The stunning black dress featured sparkles and was paired with a feather fascinator, skimming into a mermaid-tail style bottom that made it difficult for the singer to move their legs, and a fur trim near the collar.
The gown was designed by Sam’s partner Christian Cowan and inspired by the showgirl era – I’m just not sure I could cope with such a weighty accessory on the night.
