Sam Smith has been praised for their ‘fabulous’ BBC Proms performance, wearing a custom-made Vivienne Westwood gown by Andreas Kronthaler.
As they opened the show they said: ‘I have been thinking about this since I was a kid, and I just want to say to the BBC and everyone here. Thank you for having me.’
Fans of the show rushed to social media to give a positive reaction to the performance as they penned…

The singer, who previously walked the runway for the brand Vivienne Westwood during their Paris fashion show in February, sang their heart out to some of their best hits including Lay Me Down.
During the performance, the hitmaker later opted for a quick outfit change and slipped into a stylish black polka dot double-breasted suit.
The BBC Proms with the BBC Concert Orchestra is billed as a retrospective look at Sam’s debut album, In The Lonely Hour, which was released 10 years ago.
Throughout the show, Sam introduced several guests including their early singing teacher Joanna Eden and jazz singer Clare Teal.
Sam ended the show with Somewhere Over the Rainbow, a nod to Judy Garland’s famous 1961 concert at Carnegie Hall, one of their favourite ever vocal performances.
Sam announced they were non-binary in 2019 and asked people to use they/them pronouns when being referred to.
