Ed Sheeran Embraces Being Called the Best: A Look Back at Some of His “Worst” Outfits

Ed Sheeran Celebrates Fashion Recognition

Ed Sheeran marked his recent recognition on the “best dressed” list while reflecting on some of his past fashion choices.

Gala Concert Attendance

The singer of “Galway Girl” attended the Gala Concert Time 100 on Thursday (April 24) at Lincoln Center in New York. This annual event celebrates the Time list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

To commemorate the occasion, Sheeran graced the red carpet in a pale pink suit paired with Nike Air Force 1 sneakers—a look that earned him a spot on Hello magazine‘s “Best Dressed” list.

In response, the singer took to Instagram to share a compilation of his past fashion missteps, writing: “Yesterday they put @Time in the best dressed lists for the gala concert. Check to the right to see all the times over the past 15 years that I was the worst dressed! #glowup #Holdmybeer #iWorkoutnow #fashion #influencer #DontBuyDrugs.”

New Music Release

Recently, Sheeran unveiled a video for “Azizam,” a song reflecting the Persian term for “my dear” or “my beloved,” showcasing him participating in a vibrant Persian wedding.

This marks the first release from his upcoming album, Play, which does not yet have a confirmed release date. He also previewed the new track “Old Phone” during his appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last month.

Sheeran confirmed that a new track titled “Sapphire” is set to drop in the coming months, and he plans to release new music every two to three weeks.

The singer-songwriter is scheduled to perform in European shows from May to September 2025, culminating in appearances in Bhutan, India, Qatar, and Bahrain.

In other news, last week he collaborated with Noah Kahan for a short acoustic duet at a Nashville pub, following his performance at Coachella 2025, where he was a late addition to the Mojave stage. He also teamed up with Post Malone for a festival-closing performance last weekend—check out the highlights here.
