“It’s fine,” is really all I can say about it. Adele is beautiful and her magazine appearances are rarely so simple and quietly soft; in both Vogue and ELLE (and the former publication’s UK counterpart AND the latter’s Quebec edition), she’s been photographed drowning in a lush, sexy mane of hair. For her Vogue cover, the glossy dealt with her larger size by creating a serious boobage situation (it was like, drawn on), but I guess it was for a greater good: the issue was the second-highest seller in the publication’s history (following Lady Gaga‘s, of course).
So it’s nice that a magazine has finally styled her in a way that acknowledges her attractiveness as a given (she is fucking gorgeous, there’s no other way to put it), but the result is a little bland. Maybe I just don’t like the way Adele photographs? It always seems so commercial, or something. Maybe I just don’t really care that much about Adele? Am I allowed to say that? So many questions.
ELLE‘s ‘Women in Music’ May Issue will be available on newsstands on April 23.
