Rolling in the Deep, Hello, Someone Like You, Skyfall. I imagine that when you hear these
titles a name immediately pops up in your head, right? Without a doubt, Adele has earned
her popularity with her songs and unique voice. Unfortunately, not all that buzz has been
exactly positive. It’s because her body shape has always been the reason for all kinds
of comments. Over the years, the singer has made it clear that she doesn’t care about
beauty standards because she loves herself. But it seems that divorcing her ex-husband,
Simon Konecki in April this year, and turning 31 has woken something up in Adele. So get
very comfortable and I’m gonna tell you how Adele found the “new her” after the
split from her husband! As I was saying, it’s nothing new that Adele's
body shape is something that people have been paying more attention to than her spectacular
voice. Over the years, ever since 2007 when she came into the spotlight, the singer has
had to deal with all kinds of judgemental comments about her appearance, from all kinds
of people. One of these awkward cases that has unfortunately turned out to be the most
popular, was when the iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away earlier this
year, in an interview in 2012 said that Adele was "a little too fat." Of course, he tried
to fix the situation by saying that he was Adele's biggest fan, but the damage had already
been done. Lagerfeld's case is not the only one. Because
of this Adele had to develop a thick skin to protect herself from all the bad vibes
that are floating everywhere today. I honestly couldn’t be happier that she has been strong
and intelligent enough to deal with all the negativity because unfortunately there are
too many people who have given up under all the pressure. Let me tell you something that
you can never repeat too much: Take care of yourself, love yourself, do not pay attention
to the opinions of people who all they do is project their own insecurities on you.
Let’s be like Adele whose mantra is: this is me, and I make my own decisions! Because
there’s nothing more powerful than a peaceful and calm mind. And if you can’t deal with
all of this on your own, remember, don’t be afraid to seek help!
Before all these attacks on her appearance, Adele has always had a very cool attitude,
making it clear that she had never tried to be like models on the covers of magazines.
She said that she represents ordinary women and feels proud of it. She also said that
she enjoyed being herself as she has always done. And like I mentioned before, Adele had
witnessed how the idea of a perfect body image rules the lives of some people, who want to
be thinner or have larger breasts. She has seen how those people have been worn out by
it and she knows that this is not what she wants in life. Of course, she accepts the
fact that like all people, she has insecurities but she’s happy to be around people who
don’t constantly point them out. As you can imagine, Adele obviously isn’t
the only one to receive the “special kind of love” from the haters. We live in a world
when commenting on strangers’ bodies is the most normal thing and everyone feels entitled
to do so, regardless of the consequences of those comments. Especially this applies to
female bodies, because, let's be honest, how many headlines in the tabloids have you seen
that mentioned the weight of any famous man? How many times have you seen the paparazzi
go out of their way to take unflattering pictures of a male celebrity on a beach, and then obviously
write articles about how bad the swimsuit was, or how fat he looked, or how he had stretch
marks on his stomach? Unfortunately, such women like the actresses Jennifer Love Hewitt,
Kate Winslet, or Danielle Fishel, and the supermodel Tyra Banks, have all been in those
situations. In the case of the actress Jennifer Love Hewitt,
her “mistake” was when she went on vacation to Hawaii and she dared to have fun splashing
in those beautiful waters, of course in a bathing suit. That's when the paparazzi appeared
and photos showing her body with a little bit of cellulite were soon published on the
TMZ website. TMZ used the title of her 1997 film "I Know What You Did Last Summer" to
make an unpleasant reference and turned it into "We know what you ate this summer, Love
- everything!" What level of insensitivity do you have to have to write such things about
another person? I'm really curious because these things are beyond me. The actress didn’t
stay silent and answered them through her own website, saying that she remained silent
for a long time watching how female bodies are constantly overanalyzed. To make things
clear, she said she didn’t feel bothered by the comments about her body, but she felt
for all those girls who had problems with their body image. Well, I wonder if those
TMZ editors have such perfect bodies that make them believe that they have the right
to say the ugly things they do? What do you think guys?
Another person is Kate Winslet, who, despite her many great roles, is mostly remembered
for her part of Rose in Titanic (and for not leaving any space for Jack on that door, we
all know that they both would’ve fit there!) Well, the Oscar-winning actress also knows
something about getting hate. In 2009 she left everyone stunned when she revealed to
Marie Claire that when she was in her youth there was a group of girls who side together
against her. They used to bully her for being chubby, but where are they now? Well, not
even half as far as Kate has come! Danielle Fishel, famous for her role as the
beautiful Topanga in the show "Boy Meets World" has also been attacked because of her body...
on her wedding day! The actress got married in 2013 in Los Angeles and shortly after her
wedding, photos of the celebration were posted online. Of course, the haters didn’t waste
any time and they started criticizing her figure almost immediately. But Danielle didn’t
let herself be stepped on and immediately jumped to social media saying: “To the people
saying I was fat at my wedding: you are the worst kind of people on the planet. I weigh
107 pounds and am 5’1”. YOU are the reason anorexia exists.” She continued her tweets
by saying that what makes dealing with rude comments easy is love and happiness, so she
will remain her happiest version of herself, regardless of whether haters are still the
rudest version of themselves. The last case to highlight, and personally
for me the most shocking one, is that of the supermodel Tyra Banks. Yes, you’re hearing
correctly. The former Victoria's Secret model couldn’t avoid criticism either when in
December 2006, she was in Australia filming her show “America's Next Top Model.” She
was photographed in a one-piece swimsuit from a not the most flattering angle, and as you
can imagine the photos were everywhere. A tabloid even dared to name her “America’s
Next Top Waddle,” in an attempt to make a funny pun. Of course, the model didn’t
sit back and watched how people criticized her. She appeared on her own talk show wearing
the same bathing suit that she wore when she was photographed in Australia and clapped
back with a powerful and epic speech that anyone who has seen it would not forget it,
and which ended in the best possible way: with a few emotional tears. She told all her
haters and those who made other women feel bad about the way they looked "Kiss my fat
a**!" Thank you, Tyra, for your words! Can you believe it, guys? No matter if you are
the perfect supermodel all your life, there will still be people who criticize your appearance!
The moral of this is that you can’t please everyone so just do you and go to the beach
if you want to! Because perfection doesn’t exist!
Anyway, I'm going to chill, because the point is that after all it seems that Adele follows
the rule “old husband, new me”. And, okay, I'm going to contradict myself in not commenting
on the bodies of other people, but come on, look how beautiful she looks! I’ve made
it clear that, when it comes to Adele, she is a woman with many more attributes than
her physical appearance. But I can’t deny that I am more than happy about the healthy
change she’s made, and as a result how good she looks. She seems happy and healthy, and
as a bonus, she looks very stunning! Honestly, she’s looked so radiant lately, first in
that black velvet dress that revealed her shoulders at Drake’s birthday party, and
then in that spectacular tight dress when she was Captain Hook in red at a Halloween
party. And her hair is also longer. Or maybe it’s just a wig? Anyway, do you like those
curls? Will Adele be your hair inspo? Of course, Adele’s new look hasn’t gone
unnoticed and the whole internet is talking about it. Most of the people love the change,
while some are happy for her, not for the physical but for the health benefits it might
have brought. But they still worry that the change may have been too rapid to be healthy.
And then there’s the third group that says that we don't know the reasons behind this
change, so we shouldn’t be so excited about it when maybe there’s something bad going
on. Anyway, what we know so far thanks to sources close to the singer is that even though
she’s never been a big fan of going to the gym, it seems that recently she’s become
a fan of "pilates reformer", which is a mixture of traditional pilates with exercises on a
special machine that improves posture and balance. Apparently, Adele discovered this
activity thanks to her friend Ayda Field, who is the wife of the singer Robbie Williams.
A close friend to Adele revealed to "The Sun" that she loves her new exercise routine. It’s
an extra benefit that she has lost some weight, but what really makes her friends happy is
that she isn’t getting carried away and that there’s a lot of positive comments
coming her way right now. They feel that a new life has started for her. Although Adele's
new favorite activity plays a key role in her change, I have to tell you that it’s
not the only new thing she has adopted. The singer also follows a diet called "Sirtfood
diet." It’s composed of rich healthy foods and contains low-calories, with many proteins,
fruit, green juices, and what’s the best: you can drink dark chocolate and red wine
on cheat days. Of course, it’s not a miracle diet or anything that can be maintained for
a long period of time! And now that I’m thinking about it... this
change in her image is not the only thing that Adele has managed to gain thanks to her
breakup. If you also think about it, I’m sure you will agree with me that, although
it’s true that she has suffered a heartbreak like all of us, at least she knows how to
turn the thing around and take advantage of the situation, making her pain her main source
of inspiration and creating songs that will bring her even bigger success worldwide. Come
on, every time this woman ended up with a broken heart, it turned out to be a good investment.
And while it’s true that some of her fans obviously are sorry for her because of her
heartbreak, they don’t want her to find someone new. It’s not because they don't
want her to be happy! It’s because of the fact that you know, she recently got divorced,
and not to be mean but that could have been good content for a new album. But I am genuinely
happy that things have been going so well for Adele lately, and I really hope that this
is a new beginning for the singer, full of happiness, with a new boyfriend, a new look,
and we hope, new music very soon. And what do you guys think of Adele’s change?
Do you agree that she looks beautiful and that this change is a good thing for her?
Or maybe you think it was unnecessary? Are you looking forward to Adele’s new music?
