The Adele One Night Only TV special provided us with our fashion fix, from the white Christopher John Rogers suit [1] the singer wore to match with Oprah during their sit-down conversation [2] to her custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture look. This design, courtesy of Daniel Roseberry, came in a black silk faille with flattering draping and a black moon-rock-embroidered bustier to play up those custom Saturn pendant earrings, which are also from the iconic fashion house that Adele has worked with before [3].
Adele wore the well-thought-out look when she performed during the concert portion of her program at Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, belting out both "Rolling in the Deep" and "Easy on Me". You don't have to zoom in much to make out Adele's Saturn tattoo [4] on her arm, which she told Vogue represents an important shift in her life [5] where she lost the plot, explaining that it takes 27 to 32 years for Saturn to fully orbit around the sun and return to the position it was in at your time of birth. "When that comes, it can rock your life. It shakes you up a bit: Who am I? What do I want to do? What makes me truly happy? All those things," she said.
The Schiaparelli team played into that idea when they crafted her ornate gold drop pendants, which have a pearl at the top and a diamond-encrusted orb. For anyone who's a fan of tattoos and their significance [6], it's safe to say you may also like to own some jewellery that matches your ink one day. At least, I know I would. Ahead, see Adele's stunning Schiaparelli moment plus a sketch from its initial imagination.
