“There’s only one of you, so why would you want to look like anybody else?” Adele famously once said.
The 33-year-old is often hailed as one of the UK’s greatest talents; a multi-award-winning singer who has captivated the world with her incredible voice and moving lyrics. She’s got more Grammy Awards than we care to count and has even won an Oscar, for the Bond soundtrack Skyfall. But she’s also been known to have a scene-stealing red carpet moment, too.
While the songwriter doesn’t attend events hugely regularly, when she does, she does so in style, often working with designers – like Christopher Bailey, when he was designing for Burberry, or Riccardo Tisci during his time at Givenchy – on beautiful bespoke looks. Adele once joked that she’s “like Johnny Cash” because she “only wears black” – and, while there’s certainly a lot of the classic shade in her repertoire, she’s also not afraid to embrace colour when the time calls for it.
From Valentino sequins to Giambattista Valli ruffles and glittering Armani Privé, we look back at 10 of Adele’s greatest fashion moments – from red carpet to stage.
