Adele on the March cover of “Vogue” wearing a colorful Burberry

When Karl Lagerfeld, the reigning King of Fashion, fat shames you, there’s no better revenge than to step out in some gorgeous outfits. For Adele, who became the target of the Kaiser’s out-of-touch body opinions a few years back, she proved that even people who are “a little roundish” can drop mics both literally in regards to music and figuratively in the sartorial sense. And looking great — and doing even greater things — is like one large metaphorical f** you (to him, all her exes, and anyone else that’s ever doubted her).

With her hit comeback album 25 and an upcoming international tour, Adele posed for the cover of American Vogue and talked with Hamish Bowles about her music, son, confidence, and more. “I was just shocked that all of a sudden I was 25!” she told the magazine. “But actually, I like myself more than ever. I feel so comfortable in my own skin. I really like how I look, I like who I am, I like everyone that I surround myself with.” Photo: Annie Leibovitz/Courtesy of Vogue
