Adele covers the May issue of Elle Magazine and aren’t these photos absolutely gorgeous? God, she’s so pretty. She just has an amazing face and she’s crazy-photogenic. Elle’s May issue is their annual “Women In Music” issue, and who better to represent the state of women in music than Adele? I’m not being sarcastic! Adele is a better representative of the music industry than Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Nicki Minaj or whoever else you want to throw at me. The Elle promo says that Alicia Keys and Rita Ora are also included in this issue, and Adele’s shoot was done in LA, probably when she camped out there in between the Globes and the Oscars. If you’d like to read more behind-the-scenes stuff about the shoot, go here.
In other Adele news, the British tabloids claim that she’s currently working on her third album – HUUUUZZZZAH!! Allegedly, Adele “recruited producers/songwriters James Ford and Kid Harpoon to help her develop a more edgy sound.” Ford has produced albums for the Arctic Monkeys & the Klaxons and Kid Harpoon has co-written songs for Florence and the Machine, Jessie Ware and Calvin Harris. While I think everything Adele touches turns to gold at this point, I don’t think we should over-hype a potential new album – even great artists have ebbs and flows, and it will be hard to live up to the success she had with her sophomore album.
Meanwhile, there are also lots of little news stories popping up about Adele’s potential wedding. I mean, I’m sure she’s going to marry Simon Konecki, her baby-daddy, but I just don’t know WHEN and HOW it will happen. Rumor Has It (ha) that Adele has chosen Jenny Packham to design her wedding gown – People Magazine has some potential options which you can see here.
What if Adele gets married, releases a new album and gets pregnant again, all in 2013?! She’s so amazing, I wouldn’t put it past her.

She looks gorgeous, but very Photoshopped. Vogue did the same thing with her last year. Why can’t they just show her as she is? She may be overweight, but she is beautiful — and people like her for her talent (and personality), not her looks. Maybe I’m a hypocrite because I subscribe to Elle, Vogue, and Allure, but sometimes it really bothers me that magazine editors think we’re so superficial that we won’t purchase a magazine unless everyone in it looks like some AI robot. I like beauty and fashion, but would like to see reality.
I don’t think that photoshop, her face doesn’t seem very different just really good work by the photographer.
The picture of her with the microphone looks more realistic, but the cover picture is clearly Photoshopped. Her face looks half the size it was at the Grammys.
There are two teenage fashion mags here in Australia, and they refuse to use photoshop. They also use girls of all shapes and sizes.
I was looking through them and it was refreshing to see girls thay had freckles and spots on their legs. They also had minimal makeup. In my perfect world one day all mags will do the same. Then I will actually buy them
Love this! If only we here in the states would do something similar.
What are they called? Seriously, I might have to order them for my daughter rather than the unrealistic cr*p here in the US!
@alarmjaguar the Aus teen magazines mentioned above are Dolly and Girlfriend
Yeah I hate how they always photoshop the dent on her chin,
Every pic is photoshopped in mags.
Though she is stunning – photoshop or not.
Phenomenal face with a solid head on her shoulders= and talent to boot!
I LOVE ADELE. That is all.
All the hate on Taylor Swift for always looking sparkly/red lips, and I’m going to say the same for Adele. It’s always the same black dresses and either curls or beehive. Meh.
Ill tell you why; Adele knows what works for her while Taylor swift doesn’t pull off her look. Her winged eyeliner makes her seem squinty eyed and like an evil wood nymph.
Could Adele rock other colors? Yes but she likes this so no hate over here
Adele wears basic black accented by diamond earings…simple and classy, almost a throwback to old fashioned Hollywood glamour. That’s what true style is all about!
Another huge pet peeve of mine: why do people always have to assume that Taylor and Adele are in competition? In terms of musical style, they’re really like apples and oranges. And there’s more than enough room on my playlist for both of them!
I like the photos especially the black-and-white one.
Is she back to her red hair? I like that better than the blonde on her, but either way she’s beautiful.
Couldn’t agree more. She’s stunning and one of my girl crushes. Her Graham Norton appearance befreo the last album dropped was hilarious — she was facebook stalking old boyfriends new girlfriends.
If I had her haircolor I wouldn’t touch it. God I hope she has a chubby little ginge baby and that we get to see some pics soon.
Not crazy about the cover shot. I think she has better angles. Love the shot below that, though.
I agree with you, there’s something about the cover shot that’s throwing me off. I’m getting a “Grey Gardens” vibe from it, lol. See? Maybe it’s how the hair looks like a headscarf…

I love Adele! Beautiful voice and beautiful woman. Can’t wait until her next album.
I think it’s good lighting to show the gorgeous plains of her face rather than PS. She’s gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!!
she’s a gorgeous woman, lovely face. anyway I think if she gets married, we’ll only find out after it’s done.
She is utterly magnificent! Amazingly talented, great personality, beyond gorgeous, funny and she seems to have her wits about her… love her!
Nothing but love for her.
ITA plus I love how she keeps her private life on the downlow unlike other celebs who call the paps but whine & cry when the paps show up. Adele is 100% a class act
Her talent speaks for itself, so no need to PR-whore herself like so many others do…
Love her so much. What a stunning face.
I absolutely love her music and her voice, but … I just can not stand the lyrics. Almost every other song is about how the boyfriend left and how she would jump through the loops to get him back. And as I do understand the pain of a heartbreak at her age, I still prefer women/songs that deal with break-ups in a more self-respecting way.
Don’t get me wrong – she had every right to feel this way and to pour her feelings into the music, but after listening “21” from the beginning to the end I was ready to jump out of the window. There is only so much of “Come back, I’ll be better to you” that I can take. So if I could have her sing in a language I don’t understand … it would be so much better.
And I do think she is a beautiful woman, but being in her 20s – that weight is unhealthy
She really is just so pretty and that talent of hers is immense! I can’t wait to hear more from her as time goes on.
she looks gorgeous, she can do no wrong in my book.
love her.
Love
Gorgeous and very circa 2010. Oh, how I love her…
Gorgeous! Now I can’t wait to get my issue in the mail…
Alexandra Schulman did an interview and spoke about the British Vogue shoot she did where they used a head shot as the cover shot and commented on the criticism it received, how people wanted them to show her body, she said it was simple, Adele wouldn’t let them. It was part of the deal, it had to be a head shot.
Ahhhh! I love her so much. She is so gorgeous. And her voice is magical. I truly cannot wait for new music from her.
Why would she want to make her head look bigger.. her hairdos are atrocious.
She is absolutely gorgeous and I actually can not think of any other women in entertainment who I find as beautiful as her.
