Brit Awards Red Carpet- my god in heaven

[AngeloMysterioso]

Apologies for the Daily Fail link but there are too many utter horror shows for me to copy and paste individually…

Sam Smith’s outfit helpfully provides seats for one extra person on either side…

Thing is….. is it just a really sad reflection of Britain today? A huge majority of this lot aren’t in any way about the music (most is written for them/ created by the producers or even cgt) and all they really want is ‘sleb headlines (but only good ones - bad would be unfairly shaming them obvs) & more wealth. Just like much of our society - all about attention grabbing and f-all substance. Either that or the designers are REALLY hard up and can only afford to loan out crap😂🤣.

He can't anyway, he'd have to pick the mens or ladies and he thinks he's neither, so he'd just have to hold it 🤷‍♀️.

Perhaps the balloon winged legs sole purpose was to hold the catheter bags?

Afterall, his latex suit would probably need to be cut off after the show, due to the excess sweat, and would be impossible to take off to take a leak during the awards show.

You win the thread.

I think I am going to die from laughter.

Has Jo O’Meara’s behaviour in Big Brother been forgotten now then?

I am happy for Jessie J but the outfit is awful. Its great she is pregnant but there is no need to whack the bump out at every opportunity.
Leigh Anne always looks miserable. Showing her boobs is not great as they just look saggy.

On the contrary I was thinking it was very slimming when contrasted with the white basque from his video.

The second photo Sam Smith actually looks like a giant walking cock.

So we’re not allowed to say what we think now? I’m not sure you understand the purpose of a chat forum. People wear those outfits for attention, because attention raises their profile. It doesn’t matter whether it is positive or negative as long as it is attention. If they’d wanted to go low key they’d have worn a plain black dress or suit. Right now we’re all laughing at SS but I’ll bet he’s on the front page of every paper this morning, and people who have never heard of him will be saying, ‘Alexa, play Sam Smith’ and then their ears will melt but hi ho.

He's a model now. Signed up by IMG, big agency.

The lighting on those DM photos really isn’t flattering is it?

Please tell me, what kind of figure would look good in that monstrosity?!

I did wonder what the main issue with the photos was, but you are right, it's the lighting.

All airbrushed out of history now.

I don't see what all the shock horror is about personally - it's the Brits, people always go ott for this and things like it, it's not a new thing. They want to be outrageous and silly and get attention, that's how these awards things work. It's not a new thing - what about Gaga and her meat dress, or Bjork dressed as a swan etc etc? They're not trying to go for tasteful and flattering.

Never heard of Bimini Bom Boulash before (yeah, WTF is that outfit), so I had a google.

Google's suggested searches include "Why is Bimini Bon Boulash so famous?" and "Did Bimini invent veganism?" - which when you expand it, gives "Bimini Bon Boulash is a drag performer from east London and star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 2. She invented veganism about seven years ago. Jules Scheele is an illustrator, graphic facilitator and comic book artist."

Finally someone has brought Billy Connolly's incontinence trousers to life. Take a bow Sam Smith...

I looked at the photos on the BBC website (did not view the OPs link to The Paper that Supported the Blackshirts).

Maya Jama and the three members formerly of S Club 7 were the only ones that I would be OK to be seen in a photo with. I know we are a country without style (unlike the French and Italians, for example), and we are an international laughing stock (for non-fashion reasons), but even so, let's not make it worse.

I wonder if SS squeaks when he walks in that outfit? Like 2 balloons rubbing together 🤔😄

I can only presume that they were all wearing their outfits as a joke. Special mention goes to Billie Piper though…sheesh!

Should this thread be under 'Style and Beauty'? Well yes there is beauty, but little style.

I didn’t see Sam Smith’s performance but apparently it’s had a lot of backlash.

What I have seen is a video of lady gaga performing a few years ago where she gets a dancer to stick her fingers down her throat and vomit on lady gagas chest.

People are using this and Sam Smith’s performance to say that these performances need to have stronger rules/regulations.

I always look at these sort of events whilst playing the Hunger Games theme music in my head

Love this clip. I watched it with an image of Sam's outfit in mind.
