Sam Smith trades the concert stage for the catwalk.
The “Unholy” singer, 31, made a surprise appearance at the Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2024 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week on Saturday — not as a guest or performer, but as a model.
Smith can be seen in the video he shared Women’s daily wear wearing a long-sleeved green v-neck top under a red plaid scarf-like jacket. The look was paired with what appeared to be a high-waisted green plaid kilt, red plaid knee-high socks and olive green plaid platform boots, which rose several inches off the ground.

The singer’s runway statement was accented with a green plaid headband and waist-length hair extensions, which cascaded over Smith’s shoulders. A rustic brown walking stick completed the look.

The musician also modeled another look in the show, with a black polka dot top worn under a floor-length black jacket with material that appeared to be shredded and woven into the design. Traces of Smith’s skin could be seen between the fabric. She completed the singer’s look with a black hat accented with a net veil.
After the show, the fashion brand shared a photo on Instagram of all the models from the show, including Smith, posing together in their looks. The Grammy winner could be seen wearing a large black hat and white make-up under her eyes as she smiled for the camera.
“‘Tradition is kept alive only if something is added to it.’ – Henry James,” the brand captioned the photo.
The “Stay With Me” singer, who came out as non-binary in 2019, is known for dressing in unique fashion combinations. For the 2023 Brit Awards, Smith wore an all-black latex suit custom-made by London-based fashion label Harri that featured high pointy shoulders and flared, flared thighs.

The singer-songwriter has worn several Vivienne Westwood looks in the past, including a tailored jacket and black kilt by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivenne Westwood to the British Fashion Awards in December.
Later in the night, Smith changed into a Vivienne Westwood taffeta gown with dramatic puff sleeves and a long train as they accepted the Cultural Innovators Award and performed their song “HIM” at the awards ceremony.

Smith, who has had both masculine and feminine styles in the past, recently spoke about feeling most authentic while recording his fourth studio album, Gloria.
“I’m happier in my own skin Gloria“, said the singer The Sunday Times. “I feel liberated, freed from the pressures I felt when I was young. My mom says that as I got older, I didn’t care what people thought anymore. She tends to be right.”
