She's almost unrecognizable to me. If I didn't know it was her I wouldn't have guessed it. Good for her!

She's been taking a break between albums so we haven't seen her much.
She looked like this in December

Her being larger and having a big singing voice was definitely a selling point. It helped people feel like they were listening to "real music" not like those bone thin pop stars.
This album will still be massive because of the image change.
I hope she's happy and healthy.
Thinking of people as brands really needs to stop.
Perhaps a dumb question, but is there any chance that losing weight will effect her ability to sing?
I don't think of her as a brand, I think of her brand as a brand. She sold an image and a voice talent for a long time. Adele was "legitimate" music because she wasn't just another "hot girl" doing pop.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing she lost the weight, at all. I'm just curious.
In general better fitness gives you better breath control so there is a chance that it could help her perform more easily.
I mean it's not really uncommon for artists to view themselves as "brands" in a way
good for her hope it inspires other people to get healthy too. nothing wrong with being a little overweight but covid 19 has really shown that things like T2-diabetes/high A1C, high cholesterol, breathing issues, etc are not any part of "healthy at any size" and there is a range people have to fall into if they want to lead relatively happy lives. Heart attacks, strokes and type-2 diabetes are horrible ways to go.
How about we stop assigning value to a woman's weight and image, especially when she's a talented singer. It's disgusting and misogynistic. Some of you need to be ashamed. She looks happy and it appears that she lost the weight healthily over time compared to a yo-yo diet, so just wish her well. That's all you have to do.
"Bone thin" popstars. Funny how you have Rihanna, a champion of body positivity, as your avatar, when you continually shame other people for the bodies that they have. It's not an okay thing for you, or anyone for that matter, to use that language to describe anyone's bodies. We have enough body dysmorphia and insecurity happening as a result of social media, please stop doing this.
The dialogue surrounding women's bodies is certainly an interesting choice.
It's pretty clear that Rasta was not giving a personal opinion but talking about the view that many in society have about Adele and "pop stars" as a generic idea.
