Adele Struts Her Stuff For Vogue

Over the weekend we got a glimpse of multiple Grammy-winning songstress Adele on the cover of the March issue of US Vogue magazine (Checkout the cover here). Now head below for a look at the ‘Rolling In The Deep‘ beauty rocking designs by Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford, Oscar De La Renta and more in her gorgeous editorial, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Here are some highlights from the 23-year-old’s interview with the magazine.

ON HER FUTURE PLANS: “I am f***** off for four or five years. If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don’t know what I’ll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch”.

ON HER 37-YEAR-OLD FORMER INVESTMENT BROKER BOYFRIEND SIMON KONECKI: “He’s wonderful. And he’s proud of me, but he don’t care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don’t think I would have gotten through the recovery for my surgery if it hadn’t been for him”.

ON ALWAYS GETTING NERVOUS BEFORE A LIVE PERFORMANCE: “You can see the fear behind my eyes. The first TV show I ever did was … with Jools Holland, when I was eighteen, and I was sandwiched between Björk and Paul McCartney. And the fear in my eyes is exactly the same fear that’s in my eyes when I come on singing now. The more records I sell and the bigger this all gets, the bigger the shows get. It’s like a vicious cycle”.

ON DOING RED CARPET EVENTS: “I hate the red carpet. I don’t feel insecure, I just feel like, Oh, I don’t want to do this. I literally get a stomach cramp. At the VMA’s last year I felt really out of my comfort zone because there were so many superstars there. But that’s been the case from day one. I never feel like, Oh, yeah, I should be here. And I was
missing my best friend’s hen night”.

ON HAVING THROAT SURGERY LATE LAST YEAR: “I’ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen. and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I’ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it. I knew my voice was in trouble and obviously I cried a lot. But crying is really bad for your vocal cords, too!”.

All The Fashion At The 2012 Grammys

Last night (12 February) was music’s big night, with the 54th annual Grammy Awards taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. While the show was overshadowed by the shocking and sudden death of R&B diva Whitney Houston, the Grammys still attempted to put on a great show, that included a lovely Whitney Houston tribute by ‘American Idol‘ alum Jennifer Hudson. It was of course British goddess Adele‘s big night, winning all six of her nominations. Other big winners included Kanye West and Foo Fighters, with English producer Paul Epworth and indie folk band Bon Iver getting their moment to shine too.

The stars came out all glammed-up in big numbers on the red carpet, with fan favourite Lady Gaga deciding to skip it all. Check it out below:

BEST-DRESSED: Katy Perry looked stunning in a three-quarter sleeve Elie Saab embellished floral appliqué gown, matching her blue hair.

Carrie Underwood opted for a bridal look in a white longsleeve Gomez-Gracia silver sequined dress.

‘Motivation‘ singer Kelly Rowland looked beautiful in a nude Alberta Ferretti dress, with a silver floral embroidered bodice.

BEST-DRESSED: Blonde-haired Rihanna looked drop dead sexy in an Armani custom gown, with a plunging neckline and dramatic back. Riri helped design the Michelle Pfeiffer Scarface-inspired dress.

Sporting a ponytail with blunt bangs, Jessie J had a disco-ball moment in a silver Julien Macdonald dress.

With her hair up in a bun, Country sensation Taylor Swift graduated from her usual strapless gowns, by going for a Zuhair Murad capsleeve gown, with a high-neck.

BEST-DRESSED: Rocking retro curls and popping red lips, Adele showed off her curves in Armani.

Kelly Osbourne looked gorgeous in a sparkling off-shoulder Tony Ward dress.

Rapper Nicki Minaj had everyone talking, by channeling Little Red Riding Hood in her Versace satin robe.

The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie took a bold move in an orange Jean Paul Gaultier lace sheer gown.

Alicia Keys kept it simple in an Alexandre Vauthier dress with padded shoulders, paired with Christian Louboutin pumps.

Fishnet-faced Lady Gaga didn’t disappoint in custom gold and black Versace. Pity we couldn’t see the ensemble in motion.

First Look: Taylor Swift Puts A Hat On It For Vogue

As it has been widely reported on, country sensation Taylor Swift covers the February issue of US Vogue and here is a first look at the almost unrecognizable songbird on the cover of the magazine.

The 22-year-old ‘Mean‘ singer puts on a wide-brimmed hat on top of her hippie wavy locks with a fringe, ditching her usual princess-esque style, in favour of a boho-chic look. Photographed by noted Mario Testino, Taylor dons a Rodarte marigold and lilac knit sweater.

Could the rumours also be true. Could curvaceous pop diva Adele be on the cover of the all so important March Power Issue of the magazine? Only time will tell.

Adele: Billboard Artist Of The Year

Rolling Stone, iTunes and Billboard are not only the biggest music powerhouses of our era, but they also agree on one thing, British songtress Adele was hot property this year.

Billboard has just named the 23-year-old as their 2011 Top Artist Of The Year, with her hit single ‘Rolling In The Deep‘ scooping the deserved title of ‘Single Of The Year’, and her sophomore album ‘21‘ beating the likes of Lady Gaga‘s ‘Born This Way‘ for ‘Album of the Year’.

The latest issue of the magazine recognizes Adele’s influence in music this year with a special year-end cover. The ‘Set Fire To The Rain‘ belter reflects to the magazine on what kind of year she has had.

“It’s been the most erratic year. It’s been fucking brilliant and exciting and emotional. Professionally, it’s been a year that will define my life forever. But because of the success, obviously
things have been unearthed and people have crawled out of the woodwork publicly and privately. But that’s to be expected”, Adele tells Billboard.

Daniel Radcliffe: EW’s Entertainer Of The Year

Thanks to the biggest buzz of the year, triggered by the release of the last installment in the ‘Harry Potter‘ franchise earlier this year, British actor Daniel Radcliffe has unsurprisingly been named Entertainment Weekly‘s 2011 Entertainer of the Year.

The 22-year-old, who is venturing into a career on Broadway, takes center stage on the latest issue cover of the magazine, looking dapper in a black suit, with a silver cane in one hand and a top hat in another. Daniel beats Adele, Hugh Jackman and the cast of ‘Bridesmaids‘ for the top honour.

All The Fashion At The 2011 American Music Awards

The 39th Annual American Music Awards took place last night (20 November) and was it the biggest snoozefest of the year. The red carpet was one big doze-off too, with red carpet firm favourites Lady Gaga, Rihanna (both in the UK) and Beyonce (attending the ‘Live At Roseland: Elements Of 4‘ screening) not making an appearance. Highlights of the night included British songstress Adele finally getting some American recognition, with her critically acclaimed album ‘21‘ winning favourite album as well as pop crooner Bruno Mars surprisingly and deservedly winning favourite male artist over teen sensation Justin Bieber. Country starlet Taylor Swift was of course the big winner of the night once again. Head below for all the red carpet fashion:

With her pink hair pulled into a chignon, Katy Perry showed some sexy leg in a Chinese-printed Vivienne Westwood gown with a high slit.

R&B diva Jennifer Hudson flaunted her gorgeous new figure in a Jenny Packham draped little number.

One of the night’s best-dressed was actress Jenny McCarthy in a puffy Victoria Beckham dress. Love her chic retro side-swept curl and popping red lips.

Jennifer Lopez proved she still got it in this on-the-floor length Zuhair Murad gown.

American Idol alum Adam Lambert once again grabbed our attention in his interesting ensemble.

‘Modern Family‘ actress Julie Bowen looked a mess in her mini dress and messy hair. This look would have been more fitting for her much younger co-star below.

It girl Sarah Hyland underwhelmed in her beaded dress.

Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez got loveydovey, with Selena failing to impress in her satin Armani dress.

Rocking a side ponytail, Taylor Swift looked beautiful in a Reem Acra glittery strapless gown. Wait a minute, haven’t we seen this dress on her before?!
