Most fans are used to seeing everyone's favorite British pop music goddess Adele with straight,
shoulder-length hair, but she recently switched things up by sporting some long waves in an
Instagram post from August 1st, 2020. She also had a summer tan. Although the bob is
the hairstyle that Adele is best known for, she debuted her significantly longer hair
in a photo shared in May 2020. Adele is known more for her singing voice than her hair and
makeup choices, but she did cultivate a signature look, with her chin-length bob, nude lipstick,
and cat eye-style eyeliner.
Although Adele shared this new post in honor of Beyoncé's latest visual album Black is
King, the comments section was full of remarks about changes in her appearance, including
her apparent weight loss. One Instagram user wrote,
"I'm sorry your honor, I don't mean to sound ridiculous but, idk who this woman is."
Someone else said,
"Gorggggg. Love that hair."
And one fan wrote,
"Everyone sulking about how different she looks needs to ask themselves how different
did they look 5 years ago?"
"I like to try and be a little bit, not give everything away all the time, so I can surprise
people with things."
In the recent snapshot, Adele posed underneath her TV, paused on a moment from the album.
Adele wore a top that matched the bodysuit that Beyoncé had on on-screen. In the caption,
she wrote,
"Thank you Queen for always making us all feel so loved through your art."
She included some red heart emojis, which is not surprising considering her highly documented
love for Beyoncé. When Adele won the award for best album at the 2017 Grammy Awards,
she turned the attention away from herself and instead praised Beyoncé. During her acceptance
speech, Adele said,
"I'm very humbled and I'm very grateful and gracious, but my artist of my life is Beyoncé
and this album to me, the Lemonade album, was just so monumental...She is my icon, for
my whole life since I was 11 years old...I spoke to her just before, to let her know
how honored and privileged I felt to be nominated alongside her, and we spoke afterward and
she was very gracious as you would expect from her."
That year, Adele, who doesn't post much on social media, also dedicated a birthday post
to Beyoncé. The UK superstar is in the running to be the most loyal Beyoncé fan of all time,
and, as it turns out, the admiration goes both ways. Beyoncé demonstrated this in 2016,
when she contributed to a Vanity Fair profile about Adele, gushing,
"It is so easy to talk to her and be around her. She's funny as hell and her comebacks
are legendary. The most beautiful thing about Adele is that she has her priorities straight.
She is a gracious woman and the most humble human being I've ever met."
In addition to complimenting Adele's personality, Beyoncé praised her work. The Texas native
shared,
"When Adele sings you can hear that it's coming from an unfiltered honesty and purity. She
creates songs that go deep and expose pain and vulnerability with her soulful voice.
She takes you places other artists don't go to anymore, the way they did in the '70s."
Of course, Adele reciprocates the love. At a 2016 concert, for instance, the singer even
went so far as to liken Beyoncé to Jesus Christ, before adding,
"Beyoncé is the sickest artist around in the whole entire world; it's unbelievable.
I've been listening to her for 17 years, and she’s still making music that blows my mind."
Adele also gushed to Rolling Stone about how Beyonce once told her that listening to her
is like, quote, "listening to God." Adele told the magazine that she even has a Queen
B.-inspired alter ego, called Sasha Carter, "a composite of Beyoncé’s Sasha Fierce
and June Carter." So there's plenty of love between these two lovely ladies.
The singers have even supported each other through fashion. At the 2017 Grammy Awards,
Adele wore a lemon pin in honor of Beyoncé's Lemonade album. Meanwhile, Beyoncé's oldest
daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, reportedly had "25" stitched into the dress she wore at the
Beauty and the Beast premiere in Los Angeles, in honor of Adele's album, 25.
