Sam Smith during an after-party
It was great to see Sam Smith walking on the green carpet of the Met Gala 2024 with his boyfriend, Christian Cowan. The pair had worn a custom and coordinated outfit.
As Cowan also happens to be a fashion designer, Sam and Cowan showed up in suits designed by the latter himself. The unique and sleek design of these suits had one more specialty, as they were held together by a stemmed rose.
The Fire on Fire singer had donned a tulle skirt and a blue tie under a black suit. Similarly, his boyfriend was seen wearing a white suit and trousers of the same color, making it distinctive with a golden tie.
While everything was going perfectly fine during the main event for the two, Sam Smith got into a strange situation. The after-parties are the main event these days, and this is the place where people actually have a good time. However, the singer didn’t have much pleasure, as they were denied entry to the Macallan party at the Mark Hotel.
As per an insider who spoke to Page Six, Smith was told, “You’re not on the list; you can’t come in.”
The source also stated that the Dancing with a Stranger singer had tried to get in three times; however, the security “gave them a flat-out ‘no’” making them walk away “surprised.”
Nevertheless, they showed up at Dua Lipa’s party, where Sam and Christian “kept the dance floor smoking hot,” another source stated.

While the two donned a perfect look as a couple and in accordance with the theme of the Met Gala 2024, which was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion and its dress code being The Garden of Time, the fashion designer and the partner of Sam Smith put a spotlight on their outfits and the inspiration behind it.
While talking to co-hosts Ashley Graham and Gwendoline Christie from Vogue, Cowan stated, “It’s supposed to be about back in time,” adding that it is a reference to “Oscar Wilde — a queer icon.”
He then said, “We’re both queer and British so an English rose, I thought, was perfect.”
Talking about the rose, he further stated that earlier during their days together, he had gifted Sam Smith “a metal-plated rose.”
