Damn, Girl: Adele Looks Mighty Fine Collecting Her MBE

Seems the universe isn't at all satisfied with Adele’s glittering fame and vast fortune. The British superstar just landed herself the prestigious MBE medal — an award honoring British citizens — at the tender age of 25. Prince Charles presented Adele with the medal during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, December 19.

The singer looked resplendent in a midnight-blue Stella McCartney fit-‘n’-flare dress. Wearing a wide smile, she casually chatted with the prince, as he pinned the medal to her dress. The famously laid-back star seemed to be overcome by a fit of giggles after she curtseyed and walked away with her award.

Adele accessorized her look with a veiled Philip Treacy headband and glistening royal blue nails (how fitting). The nail art nearly stole the show (and our hearts): Tiny crowns with red stones decorated her ring fingers. We think Queen Elizabeth would approve.

The Oscar winner described the prestigious ceremony as a “very posh” affair, telling the Daily Mail, “It was an honor to be recognized and a very proud moment to be awarded alongside such wonderful and inspirational people.”

Although Adele enjoys unmatched success and global admiration — along with a laundry list of awards and accomplishments — she has understandably avoided the limelight since giving birth to her son, Angelo, last October. For now, though, the sensational artist is tucked away in a studio working on her new album, the follow up to the best-selling 21. We have high hopes for this one. (Daily Mail)
