Adele stuns for ELLE Magazine September 2022

Adele shines on ELLE's September cover in luxurious designs, talking personal rebirth post-pandemic.

Pop superstar Adele once again takes the limelight as she covers the American edition of  fashion publication ELLE Magazine. Posing for the September 2022 edition lensed by fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti, styled by George Cortina, with production from Calum Walsh at North Six, Adele is an alluring vision, glamorous in the most luxurious of designer ensembles. The 30 year old wears a repurposed shearling coat from Pologeorgis (in accordance with the ELLE International fur-free charter) paired with a Fendi dress for the cover, and for the rest of the shoot wears designs from the likes of Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Agent Provocateur, Aliétte and more. Adele is dolled up for the shoot by hair stylist Bob Recine, makeup artist Fulvia Farolfi, and manicurist Lisa Jachno. For the interview, Adele talks about her personal and professional rebirth following the pandemic.

The first couple of months was really, really hard, I was embarrassed [to cancel the shows]. But it actually made my confidence in myself grow, because it was a very brave thing to do. And I don’t think many people would have done what I did. I’m very proud of myself for standing by my artistic needs.

I think I’m right to do it right now, I know I’m not, like, 60 years old and I haven’t got 20 albums under my belt. But I think my music will work in a show in Vegas.

I want to tell the story of the beginning of my career to now. I’m not gonna give too much about it, but the show grows. The show grows. It’s all about the music, and it’s really, really nostalgic. It’s gonna be really beautiful. I definitely want more kids. I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music. But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas. I wanna fucking nail it. – Adele
