Sam Smith never fails to surprise us with their daring fashion choices! This time, the Unholy hitmaker took to social media to show off their latest look - green heels with Telletubbie Dipsy attached.
The 31-year-old singer sported a blue and white striped long-sleeve top with a picture of a child eating an apple, denim shorts, thick-rimmed glasses, and hoop earrings. To top off the outfit, Sam went for some green Teletubbie heels.
The accompanying video featured the iconic Teletubbies theme tune and Sam appeared to be singing along to the song. The singer captioned the post with the words "TINKIE WINKIE IS GAY," followed by rainbow hearts.
This choice of footwear may have a deeper meaning, as the Teletubbies have become symbolic of LGBTQ+ rights. In 1997, the show aired with four brightly-coloured creatures - Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La-La, and Po - that were accused by far right groups of pushing a gay agenda with 'subtle depictions.'
Despite the trolls, Tinky Winky paid no attention and continued being Tinky Winky. The colourful crew even launched their own pride collection, featuring face masks, bucket hats, bum bags, socks, shorts, tees and tanks.
So it's possible that Sam's heels were a subtle nod to the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
Regardless of their intentions, we can't help but admire Sam Smith's bold fashion sense. It's inspiring to see a celebrity use their platform to campaign for social issues.
Tinky Winky hasn't commented on the heels yet, but we're sure everyone is loving them!
