Adele's Ode to the Black Dress

Adele has taken over Las Vegas since the opening of her most anticipated “Weekends with Adele” residency, happening at The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace. The show began on November 18, 2022, and since then, the “Set Fire to the Rain” singer has had nothing but sold-out shows.

Beyond her gorgeous voice and enchanting performances, she has captivated us all with the opulent gowns she wears every weekend, courtesy of Balmain, Carolina Herrera, Givenchy, and more. The stage is minimalist in every sense of the word, with the exception of a piano which is set on fire as a metaphor of one of her hit singles. The simplicity of the show makes the coloratura of her voice the ultimate star of the show. But there is something spellbinding about her presence, and that is the iconic black dresses she wears every weekend. Black is the color of sophistication, power, authority, and the depths of the ocean. And Adele knows how to bring these attributes to her performances the moment she steps into the scenario.

Designers like Schiaparelli, and Valentino, too, dressed the singer in luxurious velvets, embellishments, and of course, couture. Designer Nina Ricci, who had not made a dress in five years, contributed to Adele's soignée in black. The Grammy Award-winning singer knows that people come to hear her sing and not necessarily for theatrical ensembles. After all, she is one of the best singers of all time.
