Popular singer Sam Smith recently attended the GQ Men of The Year Awards in London.
The musician wore a spiffy black suit with a lacy see-through button-down shirt. But the main highlight was Sam wearing heels.
Instead of loafers or brogues, Smith chose a pair of patent leather ankle boots with a nice two to three-inch heel.
What made this moment so special was that it was the first time Sam wore heels to an award show.
Earlier, he had shared a photo of the shoes on Instagram. Sam wrote how there was a time where he couldn’t even picture himself “in front of the industry or anyone.” He added that “It feels so good” and how “They’ll always be my virgin heels.”
