2008
Adele has managed to quit drinking and start working out in a move that has seen her lose more than 100lbs over the course of the last few years – but her weight-loss journey was not always so easy.
In 2008, two years after her debut, the singer captured everyone's hearts with her charming beauty at the 15th Annual Out 100 Awards in New York City. It wouldn't be until years later she decided to stop boozing and exercising instead.
2011
During the 2011 BRIT Awards, the Set Fire to the Rain hitmaker rocked her knee-length black dress and matching pumps complementing her smoky eye makeup. She welcomed her first child with Simon Konecki in October the following year.
The Grammy winner and the charity founder later wed in May 2018.
2013
The 36-year-old songstress, who won the Best Song Award at the 85th Academy Awards, looked amazing in her black sparkly Jenny Packham gown.
2015
Adele donned massive sunglasses and an all-black outfit when she stepped out in New York City.
2016
The Someone Like You singer serenaded her fans at the SSE Arena in Belfast. She looked gorgeous in her shiny black dress and appeared noticeably slimmer at the event.
2016 also marked the first year Adele discussed her decision to take a break from drinking.
She told James Corden, also 46, during an episode of Carpool Karaoke that year: "Bear in mind, I haven't really had a drink for eight months."
2017
Adele brought home several trophies from the 59th Grammy Awards. She wore an olive-green Givenchy Couture gown to the ceremony, and her weight-loss journey continued to show results.
2022
Fans first began to notice Adele's slimmer figure when she watched an NBA game in July 2021. Months later, she spoke with Vogue and shared her thoughts about her weight-loss journey.
Instead of taking weight loss drugs like Ozempic, the singer turned to exercise to lose a staggering 100lbs.
She said: "It was because of my anxiety. Working out, I would just feel better.
"It was never about losing weight, it was always about becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone. I got quite addicted to it. I work out two or three times a day."
Adele wowed more fans when she debuted her look at different events, including at the 2022 BRIT Awards.
2023
After Adele's first marriage ended, she found love again and began dating Rich Paul in 2021. Two years later, they were spotted watching a Lakers vs. Mavericks game.
She told ELLE in 2022: "I've never been in love like this. I'm obsessed with him.
"I'm a homemaker and I'm a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music. But right now, all I got in my brain is my upcoming Las Vegas residency. I wanna f------ nail it."
Adele once again discussed her decision to stop drinking during a 2023 show in Las Vegas.
She told the audience: "I stopped drinking quite a long time ago. It feels like forever. Maybe like three and a half months ago?
"It's boring. Oh my God, it's boring. I mean, I was literally borderline alcoholic for quite a lot of my 20s. I miss it so much. Enjoy your whiskey sour, I'm very, very jealous."
2024
In April, Adele had another fun time with her man at a Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets game at Crypto.com Arena.
Although she has maintained her fit physique, she revealed she still received hate comments from critics online.
She told Vogue: "My body's been objectified my entire career. It's not just now. I understand why it's a shock. I understand why some women especially were hurt. Visually I represented a lot of women. But I'm still the same person."
Adele added: "People have been talking about my body for 12 years. They used to talk about it before I lost weight. But yeah, whatever, I don’t care. You don't need to be overweight to be body positive, you can be any shape or size."
