Adele Stuns in New Holiday Photos, Fans Criticize Media on Their Coverage of Her Weight Loss
Adele shared some new holiday photos on Instagram, and they are receiving a lot of attention.
The singer is dressed in elegant formal attire and posed alongside The Grinch and Santa Claus with the photo caption reading, “We both tried to ruin Christmas but then both our hearts grew! Thank you for coming to my party and making us feel like kids Grinch. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone x.”
A number of tabloid news outlets focused on Adele’s noticeable weight loss upon her sharing these photos with headlines ranging from “Adele shows off glam transformation after whopping three stone weight loss” to “Adele flaunts HUGE three stone weight loss in stunning satin dress to ring in Christmas with Santa and The Grinch in rare yet festive Instagram post.” However, many people took to Twitter to vent about the media coverage her weight loss received.

I find it curious that #Adele was NEVER met with the same level of venom & vituperation, regarding her weight, that @lizzo receives. 🧐

It’s sad that it takes someone losing weight for y’all to notice their beauty... @Adele has always been stunning but up until now she was just “talented” or “funny”

YALL FAKE!
Celebrating Adele's weight loss is a garbage thing to do for a million reasons. Here are two:

1. It tells your fat friends you think their bodies are a problem to be solved.
2. The weight loss could be the result of physical or mental health struggles. Weird to cheer about!
