Adele rewears bespoke Glastonbury dress that took 200 hours to make

Gulf Today Report

Adele surprised fans this weekend when she rewore her custom-made designer Glastonbury dress while watching her 2016 headline performance on television.

The singer posted two brand new photos on Instagram of herself in front of a TV which was playing her Pyramid Stage set from Glastonbury Festival in 2016.

In the first photo, Adele crouched down beside her television while holding a fan up in front of her face as if it's a microphone, while wearing baggy, casual clothing. In the second, she dons the exact outfit she wore for the set four years ago, and appears to be dancing as the shot is blurry.

Glastonbury music festival should have taken place from 24-28 June this year, on what would have been the event’s 50th anniversary.

However, on 18 March it was announced that the festival had been cancelled due to safety concerns amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On Saturday, the broadcaster aired Adele’s 2016 headlining performance, during which she performed hit tracks including “Hello”, “Send My Love” and “Someone Like You”

Unbeknownst to viewers across the country, Adele was watching the performance from the comfort of her home, reliving her time on the Pyramid Stage.

The bespoke dress was made by Chloé and designed by Clare Waight Keller, who was artistic director of the label at the time.

Waight Keller went on to become artistic director of Givenchy, designing Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex’s, wedding dress two years later.

Following Adele’s Glastonbury performance in 2016, Chloé revealed that her dress took a significant amount of time to produce.

“The hand-embroidered silk georgette dress in deep green was made for the singer’s headlining performance by our couture Atelier and took over 200 hours to create,” the fashion label stated.

Waight Keller also shared a photograph of Adele on her personal Instagram account at the time, saying she was “so proud” that the singer opted for her design.

In her recent Instagram post about watching her Glastonbury performance, Adele wrote in the caption that she was “5 ciders in”.

Several people commented underneath the post expressing their wish to “party with Adele”.

One Instagram user said: “I’d very much like your dress please,” describing the design as “amazing”.
