Last week, Adele celebrated her 32nd birthday, and to mark the occasion, the 15-time Grammy winner shared her first post to the photo-sharing platform since December - breaking the internet in the process.

The British singer captioned the image to her 33.6 million followers:

"Thank you for the birthday love. I hope you’re all staying safe and sane during this crazy time. I’d like to thank all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe while risking their lives! You are truly our angels. 2020 okay bye thanks x"

And there's no denying that Adele looked amazing - with fans filling the 'Chasing Pavements' singer's comments section with compliments. "THAT WAIST IS SNATCHEDDDDDD!!!! [sic]," one Instagram user wrote, as YouTuber James Charles corroborated, "YOU LOOK AMAZING."

However, Adele's new look also received a lot of comments from people who thought she looked like 45-year-old American actress Sarah Paulson:

Paulson is known for starring in Ryan Murphy and Brad Fulchuk's popular anthology horror television series, American Horror Story, for which she has received five Primetime Emmy Award nominations and won two Critics' Choice Television Awards.

Now, during an interview with SiriusXM’s Jessica Shaw on Thursday, Paulson has responded to the lookalike comparisons, saying: "This has been going on for a while […] listen, I’ll take it!

"What I wish they were comparing was my talent to her talent to say mine is as great as hers, which, quite honestly, they can’t say because no one’s as talented or great as her, which is really irritating, but I’ll take looking like her.

"Man, she’s a beauty. So, sure, give it to me. I’ll take it. I’ll take it."

Adele can be seen wearing a tight black mini dress and a pair of black heels. And sure, I'm sure most people would look great standing inside what I can only describe as a "giant flower halo", but fans could not get over just how incredible the 'Chasing Pavements' singer looked:

Happy birthday, Adele!

This week, the world has been talking about British music sensation Adele.

However, the Grammy Award-winner has not been trending because she's releasing a new single or launched a new album - no, no. People just couldn't get over her appearance in her most recent social media post.

On Wednesday, the 'Hello' singer celebrated her 32nd birthday, and to mark the occasion, she shared her first post on Instagram since December. The Grammy Award winner wrote to her 33.6 million followers:

"Thank you for the birthday love. I hope you’re all staying safe and sane during this crazy time. I’d like to thank all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe while risking their lives! You are truly our angels. 2020 okay bye thanks x"

Now, in response to the varying comments made regarding Adele's weight loss, the singer's former personal trainer has taken to Instagram to share the truth about her transformation.

London-based fitness expert Pete Geracimo shared a photograph of himself alongside Adele in a pool and addressed the less-than-flattering responses to Adele's weight loss in the post's caption. He wrote:

"As Adele’s former London-based personal trainer, it’s disheartening to read negative commentary and fat-phobic accusations questioning the genuineness of her amazing weight loss.

"In my personal experience of working with her through many highs and lows, she always marched to the beat of her own drum on her own terms. She never undermined her God-given talent in any way. She let her incredible voice do the talking, or should I say singing! She never once pretended to be something that she wasn’t. What you saw was what you got. And we all LOVED it!"

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5QankjOYu/]]

Geracimo added that the singer's weight-loss journey was never about being "super skinny", but was instead about getting her "healthy". He continued:

"When Adele and I started our journey together, it was never about getting super skinny. It was about getting her healthy. Especially post pregnancy and post surgery. When 25 dropped and the tour announced, we had to get ready for a 13 month gruelling schedule. In that time, she warmed to training and made better food choices. As a result, she lost considerable weight and people took notice. Her body transformation was splashed across every media outlet. The attention it generated was mind-blowing."

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bUG27gnWs/]]

The personal trainer then referenced how Adele's journey started when she "underwent some tough personal changes", having separated from husband Simon Konecki in April last year, and officially filing for divorce in September. Geracimo continued"

"Since she moved to LA, it’s been well documented that she underwent some tough personal changes. It’s only natural that with change comes a new sense of self and wanting to be your best possible version. She embraced better eating habits and committed to her fitness and 'is sweating'! I could not be prouder or happier for her! This metamorphosis is not for album sales, publicity or to be a role model. She is doing it for herself and for Angelo."

Geracimo concluded that he hopes people "appreciate the hard work" the 'Skyfall' singer has put in, and stressed that Adele did not lose the weight to make people "feel bad about themselves". He wrote:

"My hope is that people appreciate the hard work that Adele has done to improve herself for the benefit to her and her family only. She did not lose the weight to make others feel bad about themselves. This personal transformation has nothing to do with me or you. It’s about Adele and how she wants to live her life. She has not changed from the Adele we grew up with and have loved. There is just a little less of her to go around."

Adele has posted to her Instagram feed for the first time in months - and, naturally, her fans couldn't get enough.

The 33-year-old British singer's social media posts are few and far between nowadays, but when she does post - the world knows about it. Yes, the 15-time Grammy Award-winning artist may have skipped Monday's Met Gala, but that didn't mean she didn't have a glam look ready and waiting for her fans.

With her hair in a slicked-back up-do and her eyes framed with a classic cat eye liner, the 'Someone Like You' singer looked breathtaking in a chic monochrome gown and very oversized pearl earrings set in gold teeth. According to British Vogue, the black and white dress was designed by Schiaparelli.

Adele showed off her stunning look in two of the snaps, and in the third, she posed with 39-year-old NBA agent and rumored boyfriend, Rich Paul.

The series of snaps were shared with her 39.4 million followers on Sunday (September 19), and captioned with a single heart emoji.

As of this writing, the post has received over 4.2 million likes, and people in the comments section - and even over on Twitter - have been going wild for the musician's return to social media.

Some were just floored by the singer's beauty:

As reported by Yahoo Life, Adele and Paul were attending the wedding of NBA player Anthony Davis and his partner Marlen P on Saturday.

In fact, a video appearing to show Adele on the dancefloor at the reception was soon shared to Twitter. Just look how happy she is:

For the record, Adele's last Instagram post was shared back on July 11, in which she can be seen smiling in a retro England soccer shirt - back when it was coming home (but we don't talk about that, because it never actually came home).

Addressing the England team, she captioned that post: "You did us so proud! You brought our game home and brought us all together."

Festival goers across the UK are mourning - because this weekend would have been Glastonbury 2020.

However, with festival season canceled, instead of donning their best wellies and heading to the muddy fields of Somerset to see Diana Ross, people are having to make do with makeshift festivals in their backyards and virtual line-ups and sets on TV.

Even singer Adele was getting in on the fun, as she took to Instagram to share some pictures of herself rewatching her iconic headline performance on the Pyramid Stage back in 2016.
