Sam Smith says confidence to wear risqué outfits sparks 'wonderful romantic attention'

Sam Smith struck a pose as they donned a sheer top for an interview recently, which saw them discuss their love life and reveal that they intend to keep it private.

The singer-songwriter, 30, spoke to British GQ Style about their life and career for the latest issue of the magazine, which will be available on newsstands next month.

One of the looks that Sam sported for the fashion magazine featured a sheer top and black pants, accompanied with a dramatic tie and a pair of dark boots.

Alongside the photoshoot, the Grammy Award winner spoke about the impact of feeling confident in their own skin, saying it has led to "wonderful romantic attention".

They explained in the interview: "Over the last few years, as I've become confident in my skin, I've got loads of wonderful romantic attention. It's been incredible. I'm so open to it."

The singer - who recently released the track Unholy with Kim Petras, 30 - added about their approach: "I know what I want and I know who I am and I'm excited for that."

Sam said they have decided to keep details of any relationships "private" from now on, recalling having discussed some in the past but no longer wishing to do that.

The performer - whose accolades include an Oscar for the Bond theme Writing's on the Wall - commented that sometimes their job can get in the way of the "purity" of love.

The interview also saw Sam discuss discovering their personal wardrobe, admitting to having been "scared" of fashion before stylist Ben Reardon provided assistance.

This included introducing them to clothes that "matched" how they felt inside and having "fun" with style - which Sam said has led to their wardrobe featuring more "humour".

And dismissing the notion that their music has "got queerer" over recent years, Sam explained that their songs have always been about men who they have been in love with.

The singer suggested they aren't impressed by the view that only dance music can be queer, with Sam saying queer music can be "anything" - from country to folk to jazz.
