Musical sensation Sam Smith’s iconic appearance at this year’s Jingle Bell Ball garnered both positive and negative comments from netizens. What seemed to trigger all the hate comments and fat-shaming was Smith’s silver sequined jumpsuit.Some also drew comparisons between Sam Smith and Harry Styles. The latter wore a similar-looking glitzy sleeveless jumpsuit at Coachella in April this year. Smith’s outfit at the Jingle Bell Ball prompted a lot of body-shaming as well as queerphobic comments.The 30-year-old pop and R&B singer attended the two-day ball held by Capital FM and performed a few of their hits, including Unholy and I’m Not the Only One. They paired their fitting silver bodysuit with a black faux fur coat and chunky black boots. While leaving a bunch of their aesthetic tattoos on display, Smith decked themselves with pearl earrings and a silver diamond choker neckpiece.While there’s no doubt that Smith was looking gorgeous, internet trolls didn’t back away from fat-shaming the singer, comparing their physique to Harry Styles, who also delighted fans in a sequined jumpsuit a few months back. Some, however, have defended Smith’s honor and called out the trolls and their "fatphobia."Pheebs (ur fav fat babe) 🪩✨💅💃💛@fatpheebsWhy do you all hate Sam Smith so much?
