Beyond their visual spectacle, the duo’s shared moments at the Gala highlighted their mutual admiration and influence on each other’s careers. Troye has openly expressed how Lil Nas X’s unapologetic nature and success have inspired him, acknowledging the significant barriers their collective efforts have helped dismantle in the music industry.





“You really can’t overstate how important [Lil Nas X] is. He’s been so inspiring to me because he understands that it’s okay to take up space. I think before, I was happy I was queer and I knew that the people that listened to my music were cool with it but I still did that thing – that a lot of queer people do – where you hang in the shadows,” he said back in 2021. 





As speculation swirls around a potential collaboration, both artists have been busy with their projects. Lil Nas X continues to dazzle fans with his performances and music releases, while Troye has been exploring his musical boundaries and recently won song of the year at 2024 Apra awards for Rush.





With both stars at the forefront of a new wave of queer representation in pop music, their collaboration could not only be a monumental moment for their careers but also a powerful statement in the ongoing narrative of LGBTQ+ visibility and acceptance in mainstream music. As fans eagerly wait, the hope is that this duo will turn their Gala chemistry into studio magic, offering a new anthem that reflects their unique artistic spirits and shared commitment to diversity and self-expression.

In a dazzling display of unity and style, Sam Smith and Christian Cowan put all breakup rumors to rest at the 2024 Met Gala, where they arrived hand-in-hand in stunning matching suits. This event marked their first Met Gala appearance as a couple, and they certainly made it a memorable one.





Earlier this year, the gossip mills were buzzing with whispers that the Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer and the renowned designer had called it quits. But as they stepped onto the Met Gala carpet, their coordinated outfits spoke volumes about their current relationship status: stronger and more stylish than ever!





Crafted by Cowan, the suits were a nod to “1940s tailoring and Oscar Wilde, a queer icon,” as Cowan described to Vogue. Their choice to honor such a significant figure in queer history was not only stylish but meaningful, underscoring their shared heritage and identity as queer, British artists. The ensembles blended austere cuts with romantic details, including real red roses dipped in silver and gold, symbolizing their blossoming relationship. Cowan revealed the sentimental origin of these floral accents, sharing that he gave Smith a metal-plated rose early in their relationship, making this design choice deeply personal.

At the event, Smith expressed enthusiasm for a more inclusive future in fashion, saying, “I look forward to seeing more clothes in my sizes in stores. I want to be able to wear the girls’ clothes anywhere I go.” This statement highlights their advocacy for more gender-fluid fashion choices in mainstream outlets, reflecting a growing demand for inclusivity.





The outfits themselves were a study in balancing tradition with innovation. Cowan’s tailoring brought an old-world charm to modern silhouettes, while the addition of a chiffon skirt to Smith’s outfit pushed the boundaries towards gender-neutral fashion. The silk cravats they wore, reflecting each other’s eye color, were a subtle yet powerful declaration of their bond.





This year’s Met Gala wasn’t just a platform for high fashion but also a statement of resilience and unity for Smith and Cowan. As they held hands and posed for the cameras, they sent a clear message: they are here, they are in love, and they are unafraid to express it, both through their words and their fashion. As we look ahead, it’s clear that this duo will continue to influence and inspire, both on the red carpets and beyond.
