She took to the stage of the Colosseum at Caesars Palace for the fifth installment of her sold-out Vegas residency. 

Fans were quick to admire the velvet gown's gorgeous details, which included an off-the-shoulder neckline and billowing sheer sleeves in black tulle embroidered with polka dots. 

The custom-made gown was quite the change from the 34-year-old's previous Vegas dresses, most of which have featured opaque sleeves. 

Its designer, Harris Reed, took to Instagram after the show was over to share his excitement about the dress's debut. The 26-year-old said he was "honored" Adele had chosen to wear his gown, before hailing his celebrity client as "somebody that completely embodies, magnifies and shines with true femininity.

Adele's Las Vegas shows have been hitting headlines, with the star celebrating a divorce party with fans during a show last week after growing visibly emotional during a performance of her hit song, Someone Like You. 

Adele separated from her husband Simon Konecki in 2019, something she admits 'devastated her, but she has since moved on with Rich and seems happier than ever. 

Earlier this year she gushed, "I've never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him. I definitely want more kids."

She even sparked engagement rumours when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring, but later clarified, , "Well! Well. Well, I'm not married. I just love high-end jewellery, boy!"

Though she did add, “I’m just in loooove! I’m happy as I’ll ever be. I might as well be married.”
