Want to see someone walking onto a world-famous stage with 50 stuffed animals glued to their body. Most famous stars wear expensive suits or fancy dresses to look cool. Teddy Swims did something totally different at the 2024 BRIT Awards. He showed up in a heavy jacket covered in colorful plush toys like Smurfs and penguins. This bold choice turned every head in the room and made everyone smile immediately.
Teddy is a big man with many tattoos and a voice that sounds like old-school soul. Seeing this “tough” guy draped in soft toys created a funny and sweet contrast. He did not do it just to be silly or for a joke. Teddy has talked about having bad anxiety in crowded places. This “plushie” coat was actually a comfort tool to help him feel safe while everyone was watching him.

The fans online had a lot to say about his unique look. One person said he looked silly, while another viewer wrote, “God bless him” because he seemed so kind. Fans loved his outfit!
Teddy used his clothes to tell a story about his own life and feelings. He moved from wearing toys for comfort to wearing something very special for his family. At the 2025 Grammy Awards, he traded the stuffed animals; there, he wore a beautiful, shiny pearl suit.

The pearls were not just for fashion. The suit told a secret message. Teddy and his partner Raiche Wright are expecting their first baby in June. Since the pearl is the birthstone for June, he wore them to honor his child. He told reporters that he felt very proud to walk the carpet with his family.
