Adele is willing to sacrifice for the sake of fashion.
While performing at her Las Vegas residency recently, the 36-year-old singer became open about her underwear and confessed to the crowd that shapewear manufacturer Spanx was retiring her favorite model, leading her into a spiral of attempting to find remaining supplies.
While performing at her Las Vegas residency, Adele opened up to the audience about wearing too-small Spanx.
“I’ve been wearing them since I was about 16, so I trust them,” she told the audience, adding that her go-to style is “not đâŻđy” but allows her to “feel safe in all dresses.”
“I know that my lumps and bumps that I loveâŚare contained,” she stated.
She told the audience the shapewear brand was discontinuing her favorite full-body style, causing her to track down remaining products.
While she ultimately scored a few pairs of Spanx, they ended up being too small.
âIt was like pumping sausage meat,â she can be heard joking in a TikTok video shared by a fan.
However, once the hitmaker realized they were no longer making her specific design and that everyone she knew was âpanic buying whatever is left at the stores,â she was able to get Spanx to send her whatever they had left â except the pieces ended up being the wrong size.
âI had to go and put these Spanx on, but theyâre a size small,â Adele could be heard saying on stage in a TikTok video posted by a fan.
âIt was like pumping sausage meat,â she joked. âIt was so stressful and I was contemplating maybe I donât go on in a pair of Spanx tonight, but I was like âOh no, thatâs too risky.ââ
Ultimately, the âHelloâ songstress was able to pull the shapewear on, but did worry about the risks of wearing something so tight.
âIâm nervous maybe my bloodâs going to get cut off or something,â she admitted. âSo, if I pass out half way through the show, donât worry â that is why.â
Last year, Adele shared that sweating in her Spanx had given her âjock itch.â
âI sweat a lot, and it doesnât go anywhere, so I basically am just sitting in my own sweat, so my doctor [diagnosed] me [with] jock itch,â she told the crowd.
This isnât the first time that Adele has opened up wearing Spanx during a performance.
Last year, the mom of one announced during one of her shows that the undergarments actually caused her to develop a fungal infection.
âI sweat a lot, and it doesnât go anywhere, so I basically am just sitting in my own sweat, so my doctor [diagnosed] me [with] jock itch,â she said in a video shared by a fan, noting that her doctor ended up prescribing her an ointment for the issue.
âI donât know why the fâk I just told you that!â she said with a laugh, adding that the press would likely report on her problem by writing âAdeleâs got body acne!â
While the singer famously lost 100 pounds, she told Vogue in 2021 that the discourse around her body has been âdisappointing.â
The Grammy winner famously lost around 100 pounds a few years ago, and while she definitely doesnât hold back from discussing her personal life at concerts, she did admit to Vogue that the discourse around her body left her feeling disappointed.
“My body has been objectified throughout my career. “It is not just now,” she told the journal in 2021. “I understand why it’s shocking. I understand why some women, particularly, were hurt. Visually, I represented many women. But I am still the same person.
She also stated that “the most brutal conversations” about her body were “being had by other women.”
“I was quite disappointed by that. “That hurt my feelings.”
