Sam Smith is known to push the boundaries of fashion with their range of looks.
And the singer turned heads as they opted for a floor length navy dress as they enjoyed a cigarette outside The Cow pub in Notting Hill on Thursday.
Featuring flared sleeves and a scooped neckline, Sam flashed the array of inkings on their chest as they chatted with a friend.
Sam paired the dress with a matching navy bandana and completed the pirate-esque ensemble with gold hooped earrings and a cross body bag.
The social outing coincided with the release of Sam's new song To Be Free.
The musician has been teasing their latest track on their Instagram the past few weeks admitting the song is 'more than special to me'.
They penned: 'I wrote this song with my dear friend Simon Aldred. It's one vocal and guitar take from start to finish, made complete by the beautiful injection of the incredible choir we've been working with across this new project.
'To Be Free was written 5 years ago. It's more than special to me.'
And fans have gone wild for the new song as they took to the comment section to share their love.
They penned: 'Masterpiece Sam ❤️ my heart is always free'; 'I'm so happy you're back with new music! I love To Be Free so much and cannot wait for this next musical era. Xx';
'This song and video is so healing and beautiful! Love it so much!'; 'This song touched my soul in a way that I can't stop listening to it!! Incredible lyrics and this video is perfect';
'So gorgeous. Quite literally in love. One of your finest hours, Sam'; 'Oh, no words, so beautiful @samsmith darling.'
Songwriter Brandi Carlile also reposted the song as she wrote: 'No one talk to me unless it's about this song and this voice.'
Sam has also announced a 12 night residency at the intimate venue Warsaw, which holds about 1,000 people, in Brooklyn in New York in October.

Christie Brinkley, 71, and daughter Sailor, 27, could be SISTERS in identical outfits

Christie Brinkley and her daughter Sailor could have passed for twins in their latest social media post. The 71-year-old supermodel and her 27-year-old lookalike child, also a model, coordinated in matching orange looks designed and styled by Donna Karan. Sailor, whose father is Christie's ex-husband Peter Cook, posted an Instagram reel detailing their outfits on Monday. She captioned the post to her nearly 200,000 followers: 'This morning getting styled by DK herself @donnakaranthewoman in @urbanzen benefitting @solvingkidscancer.' The duo even mirrored each other with blond ringlets and natural-toned strappy sandals. 'This is for my TikTok,' Sailor said to Donna before asking her to 'explain the look.'

She added, 'This is the best dress because you can do it six different ways,' before demonstrating the piece's variations. The wrap dressed boasted a plunging neckline and was complemented by matching trousers, creating a monochrome effect. The women sipped on summery cocktails at the swanky event, the Solving Kids Cancer Annual Hamptons Luncheon held at Tutto II Giorno. Their outing comes after Christie recently revealed she was nearly brought to tears while recording the audiobook component of her memoir Uptown Girl, which was published in April. Inside the pages of the literary work, she recounts her tumultuous childhood, four marriages, and multiple near-death experiences. Christie told Social Life Magazine in July that sharing such personal anecdotes was profoundly moving. 'There were parts where I thought, "Please don't cry,"' the mother-of-three told the publication.

In her book, the actress recalled the shocking way she discovered the architect's infidelity, which she confessed 'nearly broke' her. She recalled that a man, whom she did not know, approached her to share the bombshell revelation right before she was set to deliver a commencement address at Southampton High School. Christie described how the man softly told her: 'Excuse me. I need to tell you that arrogant husband of yours has been having an affair with my teenage daughter.' 'I knew from Peter's face that he was guilty, and in that moment, I thought I was going to pass out onstage, in front of hundreds of people,' she wrote. Their subsequent divorce led to a six-year court battle. In addition to Sailor, the blond Hollywood vet is mom to daughter Alexa Ray, 39, whom she shares with ex-husband Billy Joel, and son Jack, 30, whom she welcomed with ex-husband Richard Taubman.

Big Brother's new eye REVEALED: ITV recreate iconic logo once again ahead of upcoming series

As one reality show ends, another begins and fans are already counting down the weeks to the start of Big Brother. And the new Big Brother eye logo was revealed in an exclusive promo during Love Island's live final on ITV2 on Monday. The social experiment show will return this autumn for its third year on ITV, running for an extended total of seven weeks. This year's colourful and abstract eye is filled with multiple eye like marbles rolling around inside it like a maze. The short advert also includes eyes rolling down through multicoloured tubes as the new cast get ready to be filmed 24/7. ITV wrote: 'Eye spy with my little eye, something beginning with ready — Big Brother, the original social experiment, returns!' Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best once again welcome an eclectic mix of strangers from across the UK who will all become housemates living under one roof. The nation's most renowned residence, the Big Brother house, will yet again play host to all the mischief and mayhem which has undergone a makeover that's easy on the eye. Viewers can expect more new twists and turns, elaborate tasks, intense nominations and live evictions as the cast of housemates go up against one another in a bid to be crowned the winner, and walk away with a life-changing cash prize. The reality TV juggernaut first aired on Channel 4 in 2000 before moving to Channel 5 ahead of its eventual axe in 2018. And since its triumphant return to screens in 2023 on its new home ITV and ITVX, Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother alongside the iconic Live Stream and Late & Live companion show, has been streamed over 100 million times. Last year's Big Brother saw Ali Bromley crowned series champion with a huge 51.9 per cent of the vote, while her house rival Marcello Spooks finished in second place, despite receiving boos from the crowd throughout the series. Earlier in the tense show, Hanah Haji and Emma Morgan were evicted from the Big Brother house, after Segun Shodipo and Nathan King became the eleventh and twelfth contestants to receive the fewest votes. During her stint in the house, Ali did ruffle feathers with her unbiased opinions on the other housemates, and in particular she clashed with Khaled Khaled who she accused of being 'fake.' Last year's Big Brother saw Ali Bromley crowned series champion with a huge 51.9 per cent of the vote Despite the pair parting on good terms when Khaled was evicted in week five, Ali revealed that their exchange at the show's final was 'brief.' Viewers were also gripped by Nathan's blossoming romance with Rosie Williams, but this proved to be short-lived as the pair split back in February, just three months after leaving the show. Nathan shared that they 'amicably' decided to part ways, after they both realised they were 'better off as friends'. Nathan and Rosie met when they entered the Big Brother house in October, and they previously told MailOnline they first grew closer after the first eviction, seven days in. While Nathan said he made it 'glaringly obvious' he wanted to pursue a relationship with Rosie on the outside, they finally got the chance to discuss their feelings when the house was evacuated due to a fire alarm. However, unbeknownst to them, their chat was still picked up by their microphones, and part of it was aired on Late and Live as part of a bombshell episode which revealed their romance for the first time.
