The "Oh My God" songstress brought glamor and flair to the 2022 BRIT Awards red carpet in a showstopping long-sleeved black velvet gown. The custom Giorgio Armani Privé creation featured a deep-V cut, a polka-dotted tulle neckline, and a matching tulle train that started as a tufted bow on her back and elegantly pooled to her feet. She accessorized with diamond drop earrings from Lorraine Schwartz and a diamond ring, plus some glam via a polished nude manicure and, of course, her signature cat eyeliner.

Adele is up for four awards at tonight's ceremony, including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for 30, and Song of the Year for "Easy on Me."

The singer previously spoke about feeling like she was going to "hell and back" while creating 30, her fourth studio album that was released after a six-year hiatus.

"It was like it really helped me, this album. It really, really did," she told Zane Lowe in an interview, per Billboard. "I realized, I actually didn't like who I was. And I think I just really got, like most other human beings, especially of my age, really just got into that thing of just going through the motions. Like I've got to get over there. And wasn't opening my eyes, and seeing what was actually happening at the time, and enjoying the world around me and stuff like that. And I really think that some of the songs on this album could really help people, really change people's lives. And I think a song like 'Hold On' could actually save a few lives. I really, really do."
