See Adele's Transformations Over the Years
Adele has been in the public eye since she released her first album, 19, in 2008, and like many [...]
Early beginnings
When she first started out, Adele had side-swept bangs and favored heavy eyeliner, often wearing her hair in a bun or a ponytail. She favored a casual style and often performed in cardigans and other loose clothing.
New 'do
Soon, her hair started making its way into a bouffant, accenting the singer's '60s-inspired beauty look and vintage style.
Finding her groove
In 2012, the British star cut her hair into a long bob, which she often wore curled at the ends. At the Grammys that year, she showed off what would become one of her favorite awards show options, a long-sleeved gown covered in beading.
Street style
She went even shorter in 2015, which was also around the time she elevated her street style to a luxe bohemian vibe.
Switching it up
Adele's ensemble for the 2016 BRIT Awards was a rare departure from her usual shimmering selections, with the mom of one choosing a ruffled red gown to accept her trophies that night.
On tour
Her look for her Adele Live 2016 Tour became her staple concert attire — her hair in a sleek blond bob and a glittering, long-sleeved long dress as her outfit of choice. Here, she performs in Washington, D.C. in a sparkling navy gown.
A new look
In 2019, Adele made headlines for her weight loss, which fans first noticed when she shared a photo of herself from Drake's birthday party in October, to which she wore an off-the-shoulder black velvet dress, her hair and makeup still '60s-inspired. "I used to cry but now I sweat," she joked in the caption.

With the Grinch
That December, she shared a pair of snaps from her holiday party, posing in a silk gown with a sweetheart neckline and a bold red lip, her hair in classic Hollywood curls.
