Think about you are a princess in a faraway kingdom. Your mom died tragically younger, once you have been only a child, but it surely’s okay as a result of your loving father dotes on you as if you are essentially the most valuable factor on the earth. And you’re!
For a time.
Then Daddy Dearest meets a girl who charms him — entrances him, even, sweeps him proper off of his ft right into a whirlwind marriage, and she or he strikes into your fort. Do not get me improper, your new Stepmother is beautiful: excessive cheekbones, lush hair, a cat eye flick so sharp it might (and maybe…will) kill a person. However she’s additionally received a penchant for sporting all black and conserving her nails filed into lengthy talons, and you have got a sense that it is a lady who retains a magic mirror someplace, or maybe a poisoned apple, possibly a mermaid’s voice trapped inside a seashell locket, and also you simply know in your bones that she’s gonna lock you up within the highest tower till the top of time (or, not less than, till your prince reveals up).
That is an abridged model of the fairy story I wrote fully primarily based on Adele sporting a customized Armani Privé costume on the 2022 Brit Awards. That is how highly effective it’s. (And sure, I am effective.)
It is simply that the design — with its silk velvet, tulle neckline and prepare — bring to mind a superb Disney antagonist who, let’s be sincere, you may’t assist however love. Fortunately ever after is overrated, and apart from, you by no means favored that prince that a lot anyway. (Plus, that tower will get killer acoustics so that you simply know her villain origin music is gonna be a stone-cold banger when she will get round to performing it within the second act. Keep locked in a fort and get a free Adele live performance? It is type of a no brainer right here, of us.)
What I am making an attempt to say right here is: Adele, please be happy to change into my evil stepmother any time. (Conveniently, my father is single!) Within the meantime, congrats in your depraved look on the Brit Awards purple carpet.
