WHAT WAS SAM SMITH WEARING?! (Brit Awards 2023 Fashion Roast)
The Brit Awards are usually a humbler affair than their American music counterparts, but this year they were anything but boring. From Sam Smith making international headlines with their latex balloon look from up and coming brand Harri, while Lizzo opted for Robert Wun and Harry Styles jazzed it up in Nina Ricci by Harris Reed!

Fun fact: Vivienne Westwood redesigned the Brits statue (the actual award you take home) and that is a union jack-y design with an asymmetrical shoulder, so I think Amelia was basically a giant Westwood award!
ugh love her
That’s kind of neat, I dig it😊
The Vivienne Westwood designed Brit was for 2011, this year's was designed by Slawn
I couldn't even tell Amelia's dress was a union Jack. I thought it was just a beautiful abstract watercolor
Same here.
There's no union jack going on there
It reminds me of the weather worn flags in paintings in the neoclassical style.
That's the beauty of it. If it were an outright union jack, it would be too literal. She'd look draped in a flag which anyone can do. If you look at it, you'll notice "parts" of the flag. You have to figure it out. It's also hand dyed or painted. NOT easy. I think it's brilliant.
They all run to dress Lizzo, but if an everyday plus size woman wants to buy a designer outfit NOPE! Not for you! Go back to Shein!
This is facts!!
this doesn't only concern designer outfit but normal, nice clothes in general.
I don't know if they ALL run to dress Lizzo; I think she still has issues getting designer fashion, as do many "plus size" celebrities. Although I acknowledge that it's still easier for famous big people to dress themselves than the average person, especially if they're rich too (the two are not always related).
Thank goodness she was covered.
Oh yes. Most designers do not make clothes in large sizes unless it's custom made and again, designers just won't do it.
I loved Sam Smith's look, but, in Brazil, some people were mad because of the rubber. What happened here was that people who collected the raw elements for rubber killed and had been killing a bunch of native brazilians (yanomami), they also stole a bunch of their land and now it's a full blown crisis. (they shipped it to various countries) BUT I also think that not everybody is going to know this, so people should cut him some slack.
Oh wow, I had no idea that was an issue! Thanks for sharing. Latex outside the kink world has become super popular in fashion over the last 15 years or so, and it's important we know where and how the material is sourced.
isso foi no Amazonas ou em Rondônia também? estava sabendo do ouro, e do problema com marcas como H. Stern, mas não disso 😕
Yeah that’s such an important point! I’d assume they didn’t know about that geopolitical perspective when they picked the outfit, probably just wanted to be outrageous
Thanks for sharing this!
And you know this is the same rubber in Sam Smiths outfit?

loved Luke's comments on trans people. very adequate: whether you know about it or not, trans people have been known of for a very long time, and just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean that they never existed before
Sam's fit is hilarious to me! Obviously I don't know their intention with wearing it but after being ridiculed for the attire in their new music video I think it's like a middle finger. Sam is completely covered from the neck down which could be a response to those saying the music video was inappropriate. I also love that the silhouette is puffy and oversized bc a lot of the commentary surrounding Sam's wardrobe lately has been super fat-fobic. They show up on the red carpet, not afraid to take up SPACE! But Sam gave the haters EXACTLY what they asked for (coverage wise) and they still aren't happy. I just adore a subtle clapback.
They are trying too hard to prove that they aren't nice as they came off when they first came out. What easier way then changing up what you wear.
@@iamsoverybored878 or they got tired of being cannon “gay person makes sad songs” and decided to have some actual fun with their career
I saw a Tik-tok comparing sam to a rotisserie chicken, and that is all that I can see.
@@ITSMETHESHEEP actual fun resulted in losing worldwide respect.
@@ADITYASHARMA-im2qo why should he care about people who act like they respected him
Fun fact: Wales isn’t actually represented in the Union Jack, the only country in the union that isn’t
because it was no longer a principality and had merged with England when the flag was made

A purse in the shape of a bicycle pump would have completed Sam's look.

Very funny❣️
ahahahaha yes oh so very yes !!! And practical too, in case he started to deflate.
You should've included Harry's look he was wearing when he accepted his awards. It was by S.S. Daley and I really like all the little details, like the embroidery, hand painted buttons, and the collar that was made to look like a classic sailors uniform
In defence of the Selma Hayek necklace, I think that the slightly more sophisticated knot necklace saves it from being costume-y, and makes it more red carpet. It didn't have to be the necklace, but I think she needed something to shift it away from 'Mum's reliving her emo phase'.
Hey! Emo Mums have a special place in fun and awkward fashion. Especially with throwback references. The best designer I've met is definitely within that definition.
@@deepwaters7242 Don't get me wrong, I aspire to emo mum - am dangerously close to emo gran these days ;)
Salma Hayek is literally married to one of the richest men on earth. She can get a decent dress
@@victoriadiesattheend.8478 She's wearing a decent dress! I just thought that the jewellery was quite a nuanced touch, and saved it from being costume-y
Can we talk about how Lizzo’s WHOLE FOOT was hanging out of that sandal??? How can that not be addressed????
Thank YOU!!!!! Her feet are clearly too wide for these delicate strappy sandals designers keep trying to squeeze her into
I love Lizzo’s looks. I really like the thought and execution of going around and always have a frame or a background of your own choice with you.
Same. Also Luke was talking about saints and all but I thought it was more of a black pearl in a gold oyster idk
@@agatamazur9810 I was reminded of that painting of Venus, emerging from the shell in the ocean.
@@valeriepark9444 Venus? More like a whale 🥺
Often yes but my first thought with the first dress was bin/garbage bag and the second butterfly gone wrong
You do realise the rib cage runs under breasts. So no, it’s not misplaced on the Schiaparelli dress.
i just got grey’s anatomy’d!!!
@@hautelemode You’re welcome
i was thinking the same! looking for this comment 😅
Luke have you ever considered getting back into Drag Race runway reviews? I know you’re a fan of the franchise and tbh I’d love to hear your takes on drag looks from a fashion critics perspective! I know weekly vids are probably a lot, but maybe a season end recap of your fave/most discussable looks?
He would tear some of the girls apart 😂
Not sure about this
@@andrewnoboa3839 that’s kinda why I thought it might be fun to do more of a season end Best Of video lol. 😭 maybe not every single look needs commentary
It's so funny reading the tittle knowing you loved Sam's look 😭💕 happy V day Luke
We love clickbait
I liked that the fashion for this event was actually interesting, like it or not. I love the girls with the brown leather. The color is associated with Cordovan leather. That leather is known for being super stiff so seeing it folded is interesting.
I was going to comment much the same...
Great video as always ! But you know what I would love ? A bookshelf tour ! I’m looking at those books during your videos and would love to get recommendations on fashion history books
Biggest fashion flop for me are people not wearing shoes that fit them. These people can afford shoes made for them.
Lizzo in Act No.1 was beautiful. She has the most beautiful expressive face. Framing it as she did in a pink soft fabric, not sure what to call it, was quirky and elegant. Lizzo is giving so many styles a go. The red cape she wore at the Grammys was gorgeous. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Agree! In my opinion Lizzo is one of the new icons of style. For me on the first photo she looks like a pearl in an open oyster.
You often mention Grace Jones being the inspiration for all the partial hood moments happening at Saint Laurent the last few seasons. Maybe. But I think Yves inspiration drew from how women dressed in Morocco and the Marrakesh, hiding their bodies in long sleeves and hoods. Maybe worth mentioning. Or looking into. Sure Grace looked incredible when she put the hood on, and it made for great photographs. But I think Anthony V. is referencing from Yves love of Morocco.
Immediately I thought of Azzedine Alaia. Funny how not mentioned.
The skeleton dress is infact anatomically correct. Although one does not think it can be true, your actual hip socket sits much higher that what you anticipate. What you feel on the side of your leg (what most people refer to as their hip) is infact your greater trochanter (part of the femur bone). There are also ribs under the breasts, so it is correct, just not aesthetically pleasing
Amelia being included in this made me so happy. so proud of my chicken shop girl
Lizzo’s first look is giving Last Of Us couture. I’m here for it.
Yes - giving me Ceps 2023🥰🥰
Nice video! 💋 Still looking forward to the promised “Worst of 2022” video. Thanks so much!
Luke I love your analysis it's not - because it can't be - just about the fashion. Fashion occurs in real time, impacted by the world we live in - it's about the context and real history. Thank you!
Exactly what i learned, and learned to love, watching these videos.
When I say I've been waiting for this that would be an understatement 😅
Rina Sawayama always has her fashion game on point, she ate
Bimini dressed in a draped union flag in the trans flag coloures was just fantastic, especially considering the growing level of transphobia in the UK. #JusticeforBriannaGhey
I think I also saw blood stains or something like that on the flag. I might be wrong but I think that might also be a reference to the recent tragedy.
@@Maria-lw3ns it's a shame people are globbing onto her death! it was first reported SATURDAY evening -- and it was crickets until Monday when it came out that she was trans && now there's outrage...it's all performative.
I love seeing Luke wearing casual trendy looks while discussing red carpet looks, I learn a lot about both... but as a knitter, please explain why the ripped/distressed knitwear is a thing right now! It looks cool, but I feel like both me and the sweater are distressed about it!!
Just a heads up so you don’t get demonetized: charli xcx is missing a blur when you zoom back out from the monogram
I am not a fashion gal - I live in gym gear most of the time, however, I really appreciate your vlogs - your subject matter knowledge and intelligence is second to none! Brilliant (and gotta say the Brit fashion in my opinion is far superior to US). I think Sam looks strange, weird and wonderful!
I second that motion
You educate people so elegantly and adroitly. I plan on following your career, Luke, with interest.
My favorite was worn by Flo (Patrycja Pagas), however if might be due to the way the 3 gowns looked as a coordinated group.
I love love your Red Carpet videos! I have no idea of Haute Couture but your comments are always on point.
Love you to bits! Thank You!
I've been waiting for this all week jijooooo gracias
I live for this channel now! 🤩
I love your videos!!!! I always learn so much about fashun
Bimini Bon Boulash’s look is also pretty awesome considering the dress is uniting the UK with trans colors almost like a response against some very well-known British TERFs. And just from the video at 0:08 it looks like the dress has a large deconstructed shelf bustle which I personally was starved for during the Gilded Age Met Gala, and that is just incredible💕
I really like Lizzos dress. I thought the outward ruffle thing reminded me of a gem/mineral growing out of the earth. The closest I could think of was rutile
Oooo I’ve been waiting for this one
"OMG it's not white anymore..." 💀 Luke, you KILL me sometimes! 🤣
Was waiting for this :) Thank u from New Zealand and for taking my mind off of our crazy nature right now 💜
Part of a woman's rib cage does sit under the breasts so IMO, the dress was perfect
I absolutely love your reviews
I liked the top part of Sam Smith's outfit, maybe a good crown or hat with it would have look better than those pants. Didn't like the pants at all, the other designs tho would've be a nice option by its own with a less big top piece 🤷🏻♂️
Wet Leg have just won 2 Grammys and 2 Brits, they are opening for Harry Styles on tour
I love Wet Leg. I found them from Triple J and have been in love since!
I adore Wet Leg's music. It's so much fun to see them getting so much recognition
Did anyone else see bloodstains on bimini’s dress. Like on the flag. I could be wrong, but maybe it is a reference to the recent tragedy.
I think the award show was before that, I'm not sure, but the whole situation over there on terf Island is a tragedy in itself, and the well known, very loud transphobes definitely have blood on their hands, as do the media that give them platforms and help conceal what it really is. I really loved the dress and Luke's no bullsh*t answer, we need our allies right now and my heart definitely bleeds for my community there right now, ffs.
Salma’s look was so unexpected, but it looked tight and fabulous on her 🔥🔥🔥
Yup the phrase “the empire on which the sun never set” is a good example of the colonial history of the British 😬 loved flos outfits ❤️
you missed Ellie Goulding's slay of the century
her look was an absolute mic drop
Could you imagine being stuck in a crowded hallway next to Sam Smith? get wacked in the head and hips, with every movement.
Id be honored
@@5autumndream Most people would just think, " What is that twat wearing ?" and move as far away as possible.
@@alansbinnie1446 ok lol
I’d love for you to discuss outfit changes from these event, too! Like for example Harry Styles’ award ceremony and performance looks for the Grammys and Brits and not just the carpet looks. ❤ Love your content, always!
Omg can you add something for Ashnikkos outfit?I would love your opinion.
wales actually isn’t represented on the union jack (and barely by the union itself) cymru rhydd 🏴
My favorite looks are Amelia Dimoldenbberg, Flo, Harry Styles, Leomie Anderson, Lizzo, Salma Hayek. Honorable mention for Leigh-Ann Pinnock's shoes. (so cute)
There are bones underneath the fat of a breast, so the construction of the skeleton on the dress makes perfect sense anatomically.
The Welsh flag isn't in the Union Jack: it's green with a red dragon
Wales was originally a 'Principality' anyway. It merged with England 1600's
Thanks once again for your fashion expertise! A little bit better then the Grammys
Great video!
Love that Lizzo finally got her religious-based fantasy moment after her Dolce Gabana nightmare.
How did I never learn what the Union Jack was comprised of! Fashion and history lesson 😁
Lizzo's look reminds me of an open sea shell with her head being the pearl hidden inside :)
I liked the look, but i saw a loveseat. Sorry, but true story. I could not unsee it.
Would love for you to review Andre Leon Talley's collection that will be auctioned at Chrisite's!!!!
Salma deserve to be on the Best Dressed, she hasn’t slayed like this in decades
Right?!? Love her, she represents us juicy mamas. However it's reeeeaaaaaalllllly easy to play our bodies safe with cross section drapery and other curvy lady shortcuts. This is awesome - the fit and support does NOT get to look this good on curvy bodies every day. So many designs are meant for smaller chests and don't compliment this proportion. I give this designer A++ for doing Selma right.
LOVED WHAT U SAID ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE 🎉 ❤
Wales is not represented in the Union Jack as it has never been a kingdom but a principality (hence “prince of Wales”)
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
The Susan Algorithm is pretty funny. Each video from Haute comes to me prefaced by a Dolce&Gabanna add.
Would love to know what you think about Ashnikko's get up!
but the og dress has similar placement on the breasts, which is where ribs also fall on the body on women
Yeah, there are ribs under boobs too!
You have a gr8 manner, a gr8 delivery of your knowledge, & wry wit & gentle humour. Is that too much ? Enough blowin smoke up now hehe x
Aw was really hoping you'd go over Ashnikko's red carpet look
Many people conflate England and Britain. You did slip up but at least you did a bit of research. Good on you. X
Do the next in fashiom season 2🔥🤔😍
Thank you for the vid!! Would you ever do a POC designers to watch video? I feel like we see the same designers over and over again and I'd love to see some other spotlighted!
would also love that idea, centering designers of color
Um... one of the censors vanished on the sheer dress. I hope you catch it before youtube does!
Luke i keep getting Dolce adds on your videos 😭
Luke, please make a video about Vogue's Ball in Brazil 🙏
I can’t stand when fashion is only only only only only only only about “look at me“!!!!!!!!!!
I am impressed that they were able to keep a straight face while reading this Shyte.
The leather is Oxblood…gorgeous!
I LOVE this Lizzo look. I still dislike the Grammys look - it felt like it was body-shape lazy. THIS dress looks like the designer tried.
Luke! It would be interesting fi you could do a review of Chiara Ferragni’s looks at San Remo!
include Dolly De Leon from your BAFTAS review please
im dying at the censor fail
I didn't like Sam Smith's outfit either, looked like David Bowie meets Darth Vader.
Did you even watch the video? He clearly liked it lmao
he liked it though lmao and David Bowie meets Darth Vader is iconic lol
Yeah it was over the top not in a good way It didn't have THAT thing about it i can't explain what but if you understand you just do
What Lizzo wore reminds me of Elizabethan lace. Love your channel Luke and love when you say honey biscuit. Too cute😍!!! Shoutout please chaaaaching.....
That moment when you can finally say that somebody WENT for it. Lol
I really appriciatee you speaking about specific topics like with colonization and trans rights! entertaining video and informative at the same time
Luke you're truly the king of adjectives 😍😘
Sam Smith is the evolved form of Demi Lovato, if they were a Pokémon whose special ability was to be utterly insufferable
Lolol very well said and couldn't agree more!
i could not agree more omg. where can i send you €20
I gasped from the shock of the accuracy
damn that's really harsh. I don't think Sam or Demi are similar at all
@@lucifersmother I thought I was the only one. Wtf did Sam do apart from wearing a stupid outfit? On the other hand Demi called dragged a yogurt shop JUST for having sugar free cookies.
Best: Camille Razat (Best), FLO(Best), Harry Styles(Best), Jodie Turner-Smith, Kim Petras(Best), Leomi Anderson, Lizzo(Black dress with gold hard ruffles)(Best), Lizzo (Pink dress)(Best), Maya Jama, Rina Sawayama, Salma Hayek(Best), Stromzy, Zara Mcdermotti Worst: Amelia Dimoldenburg(Worst), Bimini bon Boulash(Worst), Charli XCX(Worst), Leigh-Anne Pinnick, Sam Smith(Worst), Shania Twain, Wet Leg
I do love the take on the 70's Halsted, YSL, gown at 12:48. I see there is a lot going on but it doesn't bother me.
simply commenting to say you should fix the blur on charli!! i love your reviews and want this vid to stay up 🫶
yet again i request a bookshelf tour!!!!
YESSSSSSS
Lizzo's first dress looks like she is wearing some giant pencil shavings
Thought you should know that your blurring on Charlie D’Amelia’s dress got shifted over on accident in some scenes. I don’t care. Just worried that KZhead might demonetize this video.
