Over the last year, Adele has undergone a major weight loss transformation. While she has obviously always been beautiful, people are genuinely shocked — in a good way — by her brand new look.
After posting a photo in a black mini dress on Instagram for her birthday earlier this week, stunning fans and fellow celebs, Chrissy Teigen left a comment that, out of context, isn't sitting well with everybody.
That may seem like a super overdramatic thing to say, but it's true.
Her voice is definitely one of a kind, no matter if you listen to her music or not. She's just that good.
However, she has been successfully dealing with body-shamers for her entire career.
She has seemingly always had an unbothered, cool exterior whenever she was asked by interviewers about the ongoing criticism over her body image.
“I don’t [expletive] care,” she told her audience during her Perth show.
“It was Givenchy Couture. They can say what they want.”
Which, as you can imagine, is truly just a terrible thing to do.
This is why so many people leave social media (and the internet in general). Take care of that mental health!
“I worked out. Obviously I’m a large lady and I like eating food very much, but I was working out twice a day to fit into that Givenchy dress because it was quite tight," she added.
So, fans patiently stood by, waiting for an epic post-divorce album.
But instead, she gave fans a shocking post-divorce body.
She posted this photo from Drake's birthday party, and although it doesn't put her body on display, her face definitely looked slimmer than usual.
Stunning, regardless, as she always was.
Then, in late December, she shared another two photos on social media, this time showing off more of her figure, shocking fans even more.
No matter how much we like to pretend that it is.
People, especially adults, can make their own decisions.
Only to drop this major bombshell on us!
She shared this photo of herself earlier this week, celebrating her birthday. Needless to say, the internet had a meltdown over it.
There is a theme that has been circulating around Adele's weight loss that suggests everyone who is applauding it is inadvertently fat-shaming her for the way she used to look.
By saying how great she looks now, it might be implied that she didn't look great before, which simply isn't true.
I think it's clear that Chrissy's comment was by no means meant to sound mean-spirited or "fatphobic."
She was simply paying Adele a compliment on how stunning she looks.
Some people seem to think that Chrissy was subtly fat-shaming the way Adele used to look, and reinforcing the idea that people need to be thin to be gawked at.
They explained that it would have been more appropriate for Chrissy to also mention that while Adele looks great now, she looked great before her dramatic weight loss as well.
Which is fairly understandable.
After all, it's clear that Adele has put in a lot of hard work to make her body look this way, and while it doesn't mean she wasn't beautiful before, I'm sure she still appreciates the compliments.
Which seems to have left fans wondering whether she felt forced to lose the weight.
Society can really hurt our mental state at times.
As long as Adele is happy, WE are happy.
We seriously hope that she's living her best life, because, at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
