Sam Smith in Perfect Magazine photoshoot

[drbat]

Sam Smith was photographed by Zhong Lin for the new issue of Perfect Magazine.

They have received both praise and criticism for the shoot, with one person writing “People only ever wanna hear about empowerment and body positivity as long as it fits into their image but as soon as somebody takes these words actually into action… pow! there goes

good for them. i like their voice, and when artists don't give in to hateful trolls about their bodies.

i actually quite like this photoshoot. whenever we see plus sized shoots they're usually with rolls smoothed & still adhering to the hourglass beauty standard. the fact that they *emphasized* rolls and curves with the bondage-y string thing is actually really cool to see, IMO.

i don't even like sam smith but this is pretty cool. ONTD stays doing the most tho bc i already see comments about how desperate for attention he must be. like baby who is checking for perfect magazine in 2023?

this is a cool shoot concept and i like the pictures.

i don't even like sam smith but this is pretty cool.

I found them irrationally annoying for some reason pre-2023, but the fact that they're pissing so many people off now by actually being themselves has really made me like them lol.

Same. I am officially a Stan.

lol same, I had no real opinion of them before, wasn’t listening to their music or anything, and now in the last month or so I’m finding them really endearing!

SKIN TEXTURE!! Love that for a celebrity photo shoot.

The first pic gives me swine which is the intention I think. Not my vibe but it's fun and if they're comfortable why not.

Harry is a try-hard and always failing.
