Adele

By Sunil Makan and None

From humble London beginnings to producing two iconic albums and breaking America; British songbird Adele has quietly and confidently carved out her trademark style. The singer rarely strays from black, and with her backcombed bouffant, Bardot-esque eyeliner and a wardrobe brimming with classic 60s-infused dresses, she’s nailed a unique South London-meets-60s sex-bomb style that’s as unique and distinctive as her voice. Check out her greatest looks below...
