Adele is coming back in a major way (Not that she ever truly left the spotlight.) Over the weekend, the singer had us all in our feels celebrating her highly anticipated new album, 30, dropping soon on November 19. In an event perfect for a megastar like Adele, the singer produced a primetime TV special entitled, Adele: One Night Only. The two-hour-long special included a recorded concert at the scenic Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles (attended by big names like Tyler Perry, James Corden, and Lizzo nonetheless) and an exclusive tell-all interview with Oprah. Aside from performing hits like “Hello,” “Rolling in the Deep,” and giving a powerful performance preview of her new song “Hold On,” Adele packed some profound fashion statements to introduce this new era of music. From a Schiaparelli gown to a custom iteration of a Christopher John Rogers Collection 008 look, the star dazzled all night long.

Naturally, with all the buzz around the 33-year-old pop superstar, it sparked us to divulge into her style, which has arguably evolved just as much as her music has over the years. Ahead, GRAZIA explores Adele’s most iconic looks, from her signature LBD days to her glamourous high fashion looks and everything in between.

To this day, Adele loves an LBD moment, but 2009 to 2010 was undoubtedly her phase of black dresses that it became a signature look for her, and oh, does she wear it so well.

From her cat-eye look, Brigit Bardot-inspired big hair, and A-line silhouettes, Adele rocked the 60s vibe for a bit that honestly is one of our favorite looks to date.

For most of her career, Adele’s style was synonymous with head-to-toe black ensembles. However, when she introduced some color into her red-carpet looks, it was a complete gamechanger. The star looked radiant, donning hues of reds, yellows, and blue on the famed carpet.
