Sam Smith served camp glamour during their latest performance as a musical guest on “Saturday Night Live.”

During Smith’s first act, they performed “Unholy” with Kim Petras. For the bold moment, Smith wore a sweeping pink tulle gown with allover ruffles across its rounded sleeves and flowing skirt — which was even used to cover Petras in a surprise reveal — over blue trousers. Smith’s look was finished with a metallic top hat accented by devil horns, as well as black leather boots.

However, this wasn’t Smith’s only standout moment on “SNL.” The Grammy Award-winning musician also performed the title track from their upcoming fourth album, “Gloria,” with a surprise cameo by Sharon Stone. During the occasion, Smith changed into a warm gold sheer shirt, layered beneath a sequin-covered suit and cape. Their outfit gained a dramatic boost from brown and orange reptile-embossed platform boots, as well.
